Many people are Watch A Wife's Secret (2014)pulling a Donald Trump and calling the hit Broadway musical Hamilton"rude." They struggled online for hours Monday to get tickets to the play before it comes to San Francisco next year. They mostly failed.

In what was an advance online ticketing event exclusively for American Express cardholders, tens of thousands lined up in an online "queue" at 10 a.m. Monday for tickets for the show that will be touring San Francisco beginning in March through August.

But via a randomized number system assigned to hungry theatergoers, a huge number of people didn't even get close to spending all their money on the hot musical.

The touring production is bringing New York City pricing with it too: tickets ranged from approximately $200-$500 per seat.

Four hours later, the theater shattered all hope for the reportedly 60,000 or so still in line by announcing that presale tickets were sold out.

A lucky few did manage to get into the site and scrounge for whatever tickets were still available. But even once users made it off the queue and into the site, there were plenty of posts about tickets disappearing and difficulty using the system.

Already on StubHub tickets are going for $700 a pop -- and that's the cheapest price. Others are already over $1,000 for a 2 p.m. showing on a Tuesday in mid-March.

Mashable reached out to SHN, the theater company bringing Hamilton to the Bay Area masses, but has not heard back yet.

General tickets open to the public next Monday. No doubt that will be be even more brutal.
