Expect more big announcements in the next few weeks regarding this, too.

What's the deal with stand-by tickets for this? I can't find any information beyond "a limited number will be available the day of the show".

[wonkit]

Tickets are $5,000, $2,500 or $1,500 per ticket for the entire gala evening. $500 for performance only. Ouch.

[WesternSky2]

"A limited number of free stand-by line tickets will be available on the day of the gala at the Delacorte Theater."

More details about how to procure tickets without spending a fortune will come out soon.

Thanks, Kad. Would love to see this, but no way in heck would I ever have that kind of money to throw around.

Yes.
