Ellen DeGeneres is going on tour for the first time in 15 years, and that tour will conclude in Seattle at Benaroya Hall, a performance she’ll be filming for an upcoming Netflix special.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ellen’s stand-up sets on Aug. 22 and 23 will be filmed for a special expected to air later in 2018. This will be her first ever Netflix special.
The legendary comedian’s 2018 tour will only be coming to two other cities — San Diego and San Francisco, California. The tour will be a total of eight dates.
Tickets for the Benaroya Hall shows will first be made available through the Ticketmaster Verified Plan (whatever that is), which you can register for from now through Sunday, June 17. Pre-sale tickets will then be available from June 19 at 10 a.m. through June 21 at 10 p.m. Any other tickets will then be sold to the general public beginning Friday, June 22 at 10 a.m. (all times PST).
