Share

Ticket sales for the 1987 Los Angeles Festival have surpassed the $1-million mark, according to Rick Miramontez, festival press director.

“This is in mail orders alone,” said Miramontez, who added that these sales, over a period of seven weeks, represent about 40% of the available tickets.

Miramontez said he expects many of the events, including Peter Brook’s nine-hour production of “The Mahabharata” from France and the circus extravaganza “Le Cirque du Soleil” from Canada, to sell out well in advance of the festival’s start Sept. 3.
