〜とあって
The result 満席だった belongs at the end, after the reason clause 講演会とあって and the topic 会場は.
Tested at JLPT N1 — 10 practice questions below.
Practice 〜とあって →〜とあって follows a noun marking an unusual or noteworthy situation and gives it as the reason for the result: "since it is the (special) ~." Here the final performance is a one-off event, so the audience's high expectations follow naturally. とあれば would frame it as a hypothetical rather than a real cause, と相まって needs a second contributing factor, and そばから requires a repeated verb action.
