Ballerina Misty Copeland’s last NYC dance sees tickets go for $4K as scalpers charge tutu much

That’s tutu much!

Iconic and trailblazing ballerina Misty Copeland will make her last pirouette across the stage at Lincoln Center on Wednesday — as scalpers charge as much as $4,000 for the chance to catch a glimpse before she retires.

The David H. Koch Theater was nearly sold out in the hours before the American Ballet Theater’s Gala one-night-only performance, centered entirely on the first black dancer to attain principal status at the highly prestigious company.

The ABT had hawked the coveted tickets between just $90 and $950 — but third-party sellers took advantage of the rare moment to price-gouge Copeland’s devoted fans, a move the ABT and Lincoln Center tried and failed to mitigate.

The $4,285 tickets — the priciest that The Post had seen this week — being sold on Stubhub were already scooped up by Wednesday morning.

That left just a handful of $3,000 orchestra seats open, as well as a more reasonably priced $700 option available in the second ring.

Even the nosebleeds were going for the prima donna price tag of $400.

For comparison, the highest face-value ticket for a previous Copeland performance in 2018 and 2019 was $450, the ABT told The Post.

Additionally, a rear orchestra seat for an ABT this Saturday — sans Copeland, 43, — will cost just $200 bucks.

Fortunately, for the economically minded, the ABT, The Misty Copeland Foundation and Lincoln Center are streaming a simulcast at Alice Tully Hall.

Copeland is hanging up her ballet slippers with the ABT to focus on the foundations she established throughout the years.

The ABT’s Fall Gala honoring Misty Copeland will include a repertoire of performances that punctuated her incredible career, with video tributes and surprise guests sprinkled through the itinerary.

Most notably, Copeland will revive her portrayal of Odette/Odile for a “Swan Lake” excerpt, as well as dance through the “Romeo and Juliet” balcony scene.

Copeland made history when she became the company’s second black female soloist in 2007, and in 2015, its first black woman principal dancer in the ABT’s 85-year history.

The New York-based ABT, founded in 1939, is considered one of the premier classical ballet companies in the US.

She went on to have an illustrious career outside of ballet, starring in a Prince music video and penning a New York Times bestseller.

“I could never have imagined the life ballet would give me,” Copeland said in a statement.

“To dance on the world’s greatest stages, with artists I admire so deeply, has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. My time with ABT has shaped me not just as a dancer, but as a person, and given me the platform to reach back and make space for others,” she continued.

“This moment isn’t a farewell, it’s a celebration of everything we’ve built together, and a step toward all the work that’s still ahead.”
