Representatives with Blumenthal Performing Arts have announced a digital lottery for tickets. Forty (40) tickets will be sold for every performance at Belk Theater, Oct. 10 through Nov. 4, for $10 each.

The "Follow the Lead" news app feature allows users to opt-in to follow future coverage of specific news events that they’re interested in.

This new feature allows you to receive push notifications whenever there are new developments in ongoing stories, breaking news, and stories that are of interest to you. 

Stories that are followable have tappable tags associated with them, including "entertainment." To follow, click the blue tag indicated with a "+" followed by the name.

The digital lottery will open at 11 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 8 for tickets to the Wednesday performance. Subsequent digital lotteries will begin two days prior to each performance.
