Dayton Live has announced single tickets to many of its upcoming 2021-2022 shows will go on sale Saturday, Aug. 7 at noon.

Tickets will not be available for “Hamilton,” “Mean Girls” or the National Geographic Live! series, according to a release. Those tickets will go on sale to the general public later in the 2021-2022 season.

The organization is also warning patrons to avoid secondary ticketing outlets, also known as ticket brokers or scalpers, when purchasing tickets, especially for “Hamilton.”

“Basically, a scalper’s only interest is in making money off the customer,” Lisa Japs, Dayton Live’s vice president for ticketing and licensing, said in a release. “Dayton Live’s interest is in the customer experience and selling tickets at a fair price, as established by the touring production’s management.”

“Tickets from the secondary market may be valid but it is still a risk that you may be sold a ticket for a seat location that doesn’t exist,” she said. “The bigger problem is that patrons are paying way too much for tickets from a secondary ticket broker – sometimes as much as 10 times the face value.”

Dayton Live is the official ticket source for the Schuster Center, Victoria Theatre, PNC Arts Annex, Metropolitan Arts Center and The Loft Theatre.

Tickets will be available online at DaytonLive.org as well as in person at Dayton Live’s Schuster Center Box Office, located in the Wintergarden of the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center, and by phone at 937-228-3630.

Tickets on sale to the general public Saturday will include:
