Second City Mainstage in Chicago, IL when dates post. Independent resale, not the box office. Independent resale since 1999. 100% ticket guarantee.
Second City Mainstage is a live venue in Chicago, IL — Broadway-style, concert, comedy, and residency calendars each use their own inventory. Not Soldier Field, not Wintrust Arena, not Rate Field. This BuyTickets.com page is independent ticket resale — not the venue box office, not Ticketmaster, not AXS. The Second City Mainstage is the flagship revue room on Wells in Old Town — the sketch institution, not a touring civic-center date that borrows the name. UP Comedy Club is the stand-up room in the same building. The e.t.c. stage is the second revue. A Second City touring company at a midwestern arts center is a different listing. Independent resale — not Second City. Orchestra, mezzanine, balcony, boxes, and standing room (when offered) are different maps. A partial-view listing is still a real seat in this room — read the note. Matinees and evening performances of the same title are different inventory. Touring Broadway, comedy, and concerts may restage the house; open the date you want. BuyTickets.com checkout stays on checkout.buytickets.com. Prices are resale — they can sit above or below face as demand moves through the 2026 calendar. The all-in total shows before you pay; we do not claim “no fees.” Valid tickets, on time, or we make the order right. Need a person? Call 855-855-6777.
Stage-left vs stage-right matters for sightlines on thrust and in-the-round shows. Rush and lottery programs are primary-market — this page is resale inventory only.
