Jay Leno, the legendary former host of The Tonight Show, will be coming to Lubbock to speak at the Lubbock Women's Club Historical Foundation and the Welborn-Payne Endowment Community Speaker Series.
Leno will share stories about his life, career in comedy, what it was like hosting The Tonight Show and, of course, his love of cars. He'll be speaking at The Buddy Holly Hall on Tuesday, October 18th at 8 p.m.
Tickets for the event will go on sale Monday, August 1st to those who have personal seat licenses at Buddy Holly Hall. On Thursday, August 4th, tickets will go on sale to everyone. There will be four different tier levels of pricing: tier 1 tickets will cost $150, tier 2 tickets will cost $125, tier 3 tickets will be $100, and tier 4 will cost $89.50.
There will also be a separate dinner that will cost $100. A table of 8 for $800 is another option for bigger groups interested in seeing Leno speak. Tickets to the dinner will need to be purchased in advance and are not part of the show ticket.
This event has brought in many notable speakers in the past, according to the press release from The Lubbock Women's Club:
