Wicked Tickets: What’s the hubbub at StubHub?

What’s all the hubbub about Wicked tickets? 

Okay, the misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West is known to be green, evil and covetous of ruby slippers. But, Gregory Maguire provided a new look at Elphaba in his bestselling book, which is now a Broadway show so popular that it’s touring the nation. Wicked tickets treat you to the most popular tunes from Times Square, and the outrageous notion that green witches aren’t always wicked. 

And judging by the $56 million in revenue generated from the sale of Broadway tickets during its first year in production, tickets to Wicked’s national tour will be in high demand. Wicked tickets also produced over $1.6 million in sales during one week, which is a Broadway record. So, it isn’t surprising that aficionados of the musical all over the country are clamoring for seats to one of their shows. 

That’s why we’ve launched this Wicked blog to give you and other fans, buddies, couples, families and rockers the latest show news and information about theater ticket sales. 

Who are we? According to William Grimes of The New York Times, “To anyone surfing the Web, StubHub looks like a ticket brokerage. It’s not. The company, founded (in 2000) by a couple of Stanford Business School students, is a kind of stock market where the only shares traded are tickets to live events….Buyers and sellers mingle in the marketplace and, through free negotiation, arrive at a price that reflects the true value of a commodity.” 

Now that we’ve disclosed our transparent biases, may we offer a suggestion? If you want to buy Wicked tickets, it would be wise to get your hands on them as soon as possible. The best tickets to the best shows will go faster than you can say, “It’s not easy being green.” To get Wicked Tickets as the show tours the country, check out StubHub.
