Planning your theatre purchasing for mid-2024? Keen to get some of the best seats in the Lyric Theatre early in the show’s season? Australian producers TEG Dainty and Stage Entertainment have opened up ticket sales for TINA: The Tina Turner Musical’s Brisbane season, to commence at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s (QPAC) Lyric Theatre from 2 July 2024. As with virtually all performances at QPAC, QTIX (QPAC’s ticketing arm) is the only official seller of tickets, and tickets for performances up to and including Sunday 28 July 2024 can be purchased HERE.
Ticket prices vary greatly, from $79.00 up to $229.00, with pricing dependent on a number of factors including seating reserve, session choice and whether you are part of a group or schools booking. Ultimately however, if you want at least decent sight-lines of the stage, you will be looking at least in the $140+ range per ticket.
The Brisbane season of TINA: The Tina Turner Musical is part of a wider national tour, which kicked off earlier in the year at Theatre Royal, Sydney.
