Kennedy Center, Washington
The Washington Post analyzed the occupancy rate at the Kennedy Center and shows how dramatically ticket sales have plummeted since Trump takeover: « Nearly nine months after Trump became chair of the center and more than a month into its main season, ticket sales for the Kennedy Center’s three largest performance venues are the worst they’ve been in years, according to a Washington Post analysis of ticketing data from dozens of recent shows as well as past seasons. Tens of thousands of seats have been left empty. »
The WP article says that since early September, 43 percent of tickets remained unsold for the typical production. That compares with 93 percent sold or comped in fall 2024 and 80 percent in fall 2023.
