After Trump Takeover, Kennedy Center Ticket Sales Fall Sharply
The Kennedy Center disputed the relevance of the data, part of an
analysis by employees, saying that it had started its annual
subscription campaign later than usual.
Ticket sales and subscription revenue at the John F. Kennedy Center
for the Performing Arts have fallen sharply since President Trump made
himself chairman in February, according to data compiled by employees
that was obtained by The New York Times.
Single-ticket sales were down roughly 50 percent in April and May,
compared with the same period in 2024, according to the data.
Subscriptions, traditionally an important source of revenue, have also
declined significantly this season: Revenue was down 82 percent for
theater and 57 percent for dance.
