Loading the seat map and live ticket prices…

Use the interactive Studebaker Theater seating chart to see exactly where you would be sitting for Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me. About 102 tickets are listed for this date right now, starting about $76.00. Listings are posted by independent sellers who each set their own price, which is why one section can show very different figures and the odd outlier well above the rest. Set your budget with the price filter, and weigh a lower-level seat against a better-value one higher up.

Prices in the seat map are per ticket and set by professional resellers, so they can land above or below face value. The booking fee is already included in the listing price. Any applicable tax is added at checkout, and a small number of listings add a delivery charge, so check the order total before you pay. Any "from" figure elsewhere on this page is an estimated starting point drawn from the catalog feed, not an amount you can necessarily buy at. The seat map is what shows real, buyable prices.

How this price has moved

We have 5 price readings for this event going back 47 days. Over that time the lowest listing has ranged from $72.00 to $82.00. Our latest reading is 12% lower than our first. At $72.00, our latest reading is the cheapest we have seen.

These readings are the lowest LISTING price before the booking fee; the booking fee, any tax and, on a small number of listings, a delivery charge are all added on top at checkout, so none of these figures is an amount you would pay. They are here to show movement, not totals. Sellers reprice at will, so past movement is a record of what happened, not a prediction of what happens next.
