Frequently Asked Questions
When is Dancing with the Stars in San Diego, CA?
Dancing with the Stars – Live! 2026 Tour comes to the San Diego Civic Theatre on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, with the show starting at 7:30 pm. This is the only San Diego date on the 2026 tour.
Where is the San Diego Civic Theatre and what is it like?
The San Diego Civic Theatre is at 1100 Third Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101, in the downtown Civic Center Plaza area. It is the region’s largest performing arts venue, with 2,967 seats across Orchestra, Dress Circle, Mezzanine, and Balcony levels, designed for opera, Broadway, and touring shows.
Who are the special guests for the San Diego show?
The official event listing notes special guest co-host Andy Richter and special guest stars Robert Irwin and Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles for the San Diego performance. They join the Dancing with the Stars professional dancers for a TV-style ballroom and Latin show on stage.
What time should I arrive before the 7:30 pm show?
The show is scheduled for 7:30 pm, and the theater recommends allowing extra time for downtown traffic, parking, and security. Aim to arrive between 6:00 pm and 6:45 pm so you can park, walk from your garage or lot, pass bag checks, and settle into your seats without rushing.
How long does the Dancing with the Stars live show usually last?
Tour information describes Dancing with the Stars Live 2026 as an evening performance of about two hours, usually with a short intermission. With a 7:30 pm start at the Civic Theatre, you can expect to leave around 9:30–9:45 pm, plus a little time to exit and return to your parking.
How much do tickets usually cost, and how can I get cheap tickets?
One San Diego Civic Theatre ticket site reports prices starting around $97, with higher prices for front and center sections. To get cheaper tickets, look for seats farther back in the Orchestra or in the Dress Circle, Mezzanine, or Balcony instead of the closest center rows, compare multiple ticket sellers, sort by lowest price, avoid VIP packages, and buy early so lower-priced sections do not sell out or climb in price as April 22 approaches.
Which seats are best to enjoy a dance show at the Civic Theatre?
The Civic Theatre’s 2,967 seats are spread over six main sections, with a large Orchestra and higher levels designed for good sightlines. For a dance-heavy show, many guests prefer centered Orchestra rows a few rows back from the stage or the front of the Dress Circle or Mezzanine, which give a full view of the choreography; for a balance between price and view, mid-Orchestra or front-upper-level seats facing the stage work very well.
What are the main parking options for the San Diego Civic Theatre?
The primary garage for Civic Theatre events is the Evan V. Jones Parkade at Civic Center Plaza, with over 1,150 spaces and elevators up to the outdoor plaza by the theater. Additional nearby garages and lots include Tower 180 Garage (145 C Street), Spreckels Garage, Gaslamp-area garages like Horton Plaza Garage, and several downtown garages within about half a mile.
How much does parking cost, and how can I save money and time?
The Evan V. Jones Parkade currently charges a flat evening rate of about $15 per vehicle after 5:30 pm, and other garages post evening or event rates that are often in the $15–$20 range. To save money and time, purchase an advance parking pass for the Parkade (which can be a few dollars cheaper), compare rates at nearby garages through parking apps, carpool to share one parking fee, arrive early to avoid congestion at entrances, and park near exits or on lower levels for a faster getaway.
Is the Dancing with the Stars show in San Diego family friendly?
The San Diego performance is promoted as a live version of the TV show with glitzy ballroom and Latin routines, pro dancers, celebrity guests, and popular music suitable for a wide audience. Families should consider the 7:30 pm start and about two-hour runtime and may prefer aisle or lower-level seats for easier access with children or older relatives.
What is the best overall strategy to keep the San Diego night affordable?
The most effective strategy is to pick non-premium Orchestra or upper-level seats, watch several ticket platforms for lower prices and smaller fees, and buy when you see a good balance of cost and view instead of waiting for last-minute increases. Combine that with advance or lower-cost parking at or near the Evan V. Jones Parkade, mobile tickets without extras, shared rides, and a short walk from slightly cheaper garages so you can enjoy Dancing with the Stars Live at the San Diego Civic Theatre without overspending.
