Frequently Asked Questions
When is Dancing with the Stars in Portland, ME?
Dancing with the Stars – Live! 2026 Tour is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at Merrill Auditorium in Portland, Maine, with a showtime of 7:30 pm. It is a single-night stop, so tickets can sell quickly, especially for the most popular sections.
Where is Merrill Auditorium and what is the venue like?
Merrill Auditorium is located at 20 Myrtle Street in downtown Portland, attached to Portland City Hall in the city’s Arts District. It is a historic, beautifully restored theater with about 1,900 seats, so the space feels intimate and most sections offer a good view of the stage.
What time should I arrive before the 7:30 pm show?
Arriving 45–60 minutes before showtime (around 6:30–6:45 pm) is a good idea to allow time for parking, walking to the entrance, ticket scanning, and finding your seat. If you want to buy merchandise or visit the concession stands without rushing, arriving even a bit earlier can make the evening more relaxed.
How much do tickets usually cost for this Portland show?
For this date, published base prices show several price levels, with seats commonly starting around the high-$70s and going up through about $80–$130 before additional fees, with premium or platinum seats in the orchestra costing more. The final price you pay will depend on the section, how close you are to the stage, and any extra service fees added at checkout.
How can I get cheaper tickets for Dancing with the Stars at Merrill Auditorium?
To keep costs down, look for tickets in the higher or farther-back sections of the auditorium rather than the closest orchestra rows or special platinum seats. Compare prices across a few ticket sellers, avoid VIP or add-on packages, buy early while lower-priced sections are still available, and be flexible about the exact row and seat, since side and rear locations are often much cheaper but still give a clear view in a venue this size.
Are there any tips to avoid high fees and lower the total cost?
Always compare the full checkout total, including fees, between at least two official or major ticket outlets before buying, because service and processing charges can vary a lot. Choosing mobile tickets instead of mailed ones, skipping optional upgrades, and buying standard seating rather than platinum or VIP options can significantly reduce your overall total.
Which seats are best to enjoy a dance show at Merrill Auditorium?
For a dance performance, many people like the center orchestra and the front of the balcony, where you can see both detailed footwork and the full stage. Because the auditorium is not huge, even mid- to rear-orchestra and front balcony seats usually still provide a good view, so you can often save money by choosing those instead of the very front rows.
Is the Dancing with the Stars show in Portland family friendly?
The Dancing with the Stars live tour is generally presented as a family-friendly event, featuring professional ballroom and Latin-style routines, glamorous costumes, and popular music. Families should consider the 7:30 pm start time and two-hour length for younger kids and may want aisle or end seats for easier entry and exit during the show.
How long does the Dancing with the Stars live show usually last?
Shows on this tour usually run for about two hours, often with a short intermission in the middle so the audience can stretch, use the restroom, and visit concessions. With a 7:30 pm start at Merrill Auditorium, you can expect to leave around 9:30–9:45 pm, depending on the exact runtime and how quickly the theater clears.
What are the parking and arrival options near Merrill Auditorium?
There are several parking garages and lots within walking distance of Merrill Auditorium, including options on or near Congress, Pearl, Elm, Chestnut, and Spring Streets, plus accessible parking spaces on Myrtle Street and in front of City Hall for vehicles with permits. To save money and stress, arrive early to find a spot in a standard garage or lot, consider reserving a discounted space in advance when possible, carpool with friends, or use local transit or rideshare to avoid downtown parking fees altogether.
