The play is coming to DSM the last week of August. The Civic Center has 2700 seat capacity. The play is running 6-8 performances. Right now (April 4, 2022) according to the Civic Center's seating chart and box office, 80-85% of the seats are SOLD already! You check out their on-line seat availability and about the only seats available are the last 8-10 rows in the house....for all the shows! I find that incredible.....almost 5 months before the performance date! Tickets run from $40-105/ ticket depending on date and seat location.
Now according to a nearby "secondary ticket" vendor website, they are selling their tix from $60-600/ticket! (Who in the hell would buy a ticket from a secondary vendor?) More inquisitively, I wonder how many show tix this vendor actually controls?
I am impressed that the Civic Center has sold this many tickets for a show that far down the road....I am just curious how many tix the CC sold to "patrons" and how many tix were sold in bulk to "secondary vendors"?
