Ravinia has Record First Day of Ticket Sales

Three times as many tickets sold by early afternoon Thursday as did the full first day last year.

Ravinia sold a record number of tickets Thursday during the first day of sales for the 2014 season, according to NBC Chicago.

By early afternoon, more than three times as many tickets were purchased as were sold during the entire first day of 2013 sales, the article says. Customers faced up to a three-hour long wait time to buy tickets, which Ravinia says it is hoping to reduce next year.

James Taylor’s June 27 concert was already sold out and seats were limited for Train, One Republic and John Legend, the article says.
