The Kentucky Center's Whitney Hall Ranked 20th Highest Ticket-Selling Venue Worldwide

The Kentucky Center's Whitney Hall has consistently landed on the list of top selling venues in Pollstar, the only worldwide publication covering the concert and tour industry. This year's list of Top 100 Theatre Venues worldwide includes The Kentucky Center at number 20.

In a mid-year ranking report based on ticket sales, Whitney Hall reported selling 134,224 tickets sold between January 1 and June 30, 2016. This places Whitney Hall just behind the historic Nashville's Rhyman Auditorium (19), and ahead of Chicago's Chicago Theatre (25), New York's legendary Radio City Music Hall (66) and Los Angeles' famed Shrine Auditorium (79). Number one on the list was Mexico City's Auditorio Nacional with 545,987 tickets sold.

"The community has embraced Whitney Hall as a world class theatre for many years," said Kim Baker, president of The Kentucky Center. "This recognition demonstrates the passion and enthusiasm Kentucky audiences have for the performing arts."
