Noah Kahan’s “The Great Divide Tour” opens this week in Orlando, and fans who missed the first sellout still have a shot at the first two shows. The tour begins Thursday, June 11, at the Kia Center and continues there Friday, June 12, with resale tickets still listed as the clock runs down.
That matters because these are Kahan’s biggest headlining dates to date, and the opening run sold out quickly in both presale and general sale. Verified resale marketplaces including Vivid Seats, SeatGeek and StubHub still show inventory, and the starting prices that were around $430 after the sellout have eased to roughly $280 about two weeks ago and closer to $240 by the day before the show. Some listings also include offers such as $20 off a $200-plus ticket order, a sign that sellers are trying to move seats before the first note is played.
The Orlando opener is doing double duty for Kahan: it launches the tour and sets the tone for the rest of the summer. After the two dates at the Kia Center, the run moves across North America, with stops scheduled for June 26 in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park, June 28 in Toronto at Rogers Stadium, July 1 in Cincinnati at Great American Ball Park, July 3 in Pittsburgh at PNC Park and July 4 in Kingston, N.Y., at Rolling Stone Stateside Festival.
The friction in Orlando is simple. The demand was strong enough to empty the primary sale, but the resale market never dried up, and the longer the June 11 show gets, the lower the entry price has gone. Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange is part of the setup, but it has not eliminated last-minute inventory on the secondary market, where the best available seats now cost far less than they did when the show first sold out.
For fans still hoping to get inside the Kia Center, the immediate answer is yes: there are still tickets, and they are cheaper than they were after the rush. What remains uncertain is how many will be left by showtime, but the next fixed point on the calendar is clear enough — Kahan is due onstage in Orlando on Thursday and again on Friday, before the tour heads north and west for the rest of its opening stretch.
