> Do retail investors get to subscribe to the IPO shares before the listing date?

Generally no, especially if it's in high demand. My broker allows retail investors to place bids if they have over $250k in their account and agree, as a condition of having access to future IPOs, not to sell within 30 days. However there's still no guarantee of having your order filled.

The prices I quoted were from the first day of trading, not the IPO.

Which brokerage is this?

TD Ameritrade. You can either have 250k in your account or 30+ trades in the past 3 months. You'll need to fill out FINRA Form 5130.
