The Lied Center for Performing Arts at UNL has been named a Top 100 theater venue by Pollstar.
The leading trade publication in the worldwide concert industry recently released its 2013 “Mid Year Worldwide Ticket Sales Top 100 Theatre Venues” list. The Lied Center has garnered recognition alongside institutions like the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles and Radio City Music Hall in New York.
Nearly 20 percent of the list is comprised of Midwest locations, including three venues from Nebraska: the Lied Center, Omaha's Orpheum Theater and Peter Kiewit Concert Hall, also in Omaha.
All rankings are based on tickets sold worldwide as reported to Pollstar for shows played between Jan. 1 and June 30.
