Want a seat at the New York Democratic debate? You're out of luck.

Move over, Lin-Manuel Miranda — the hottest ticket in town is no longer a seat at Hamilton. With only 1,100 spots available, a ticket to Thursday's New York City Democratic debate between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton is rumored to be even "harder to get than a luxury seat at the seventh game of the World Series with the Yankees versus the Mets."

At least that's what Sanders surrogate and CNN panelist Jonathan Tasini has noticed. "There's a lot of people clamoring for those tickets. It's a Democratic state," he told AM New York.

Eight hundred of the seats go to the campaigns of Sanders and Clinton, with CNN and NY1 getting a number of tickets as well. No tickets have been released for the general public.

The debate will be held in the Brooklyn Navy Yard's Duggal Greenhouse which, according to its website, can host as many as 3,000 people at full capacity.

Clinton's team is holding lotteries for campaign volunteers and those "who have helped," since "the campaign was not allocated enough tickets to make everyone happy," according to Nassau County Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs. A Sanders campaign spokesman said their team would be giving their tickets to "some of Bernie's most passionate and enthusiastic supporters and volunteers in New York," rather than holding a lottery.

"It's been a long time since the New York primary has mattered," one lucky ticketholder said.
