What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-09-16.
Tickets start at $10 per person on the Bay Center's own event page. That is a floor, not every seat, and the total shown uses that starting price.
Not confirmed: A military rate. We searched and the venue publishes none. That is not the same as there being none, so it is worth asking.
Starting price only. Good seats cost more
