88 percent of ‘Wicked’ seats sold
More than 10 percent of tickets to the local premiere run of musical “Wicked” were still available as of Monday, Feb. 8.
“To date, more than 49,000 of the 54,144 tickets have been sold,” said Lisa Wagner, vice president of ticketing and hospitality for the Victoria Theatre Association and Arts Center Foundation.
That’s 88 percent of all available seats, which compares with a 97-percent sale for “Phantom of the Opera” in 2003, the record holder at the Schuster Performing Arts Center.
Will “Phantom” hold onto the record? “Talk to me at the end of the run,” Wagner said. “Wicked” will be presented Feb. 17-March 7.
Best selection of remaining seats is for the 2 p.m. Feb. 18 show. Weeknights generally have a better selection than weekends, when the upper balcony is your best bet.
Wagner said Ticket Center Stage is selling many more seats than usual to patrons from outside the region. “We’re making sales to visitors from Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Kentucky, but also as far away as New England.”
Wagner said the economic impact on downtown Dayton will be “significant. With more than 50,000 people visiting the area over three weeks, many of them are looking for places to stay, places to eat and where to park.”
For tickets, call (937) 228-3630 or go to www.ticketcenterstage.com. For special offers, go to the Downtown Dayton Partnership’s “Wicked Deals” page at www.downtowndayton.org.
