Trailer Park Group’s Post

It’s not often you see the general public pumped for a lawsuit. But when the Federal Trade Commission announced it was going after Live Nation and Ticketmaster for antitrust violations, you could hear the cheers echoing across social media. There’s a pretty clear reason why people are excited about this action that would otherwise likely happen without any fanfare: just about everyone is frustrated with the ticket-purchasing industry. There is next to no way to avoid frustration with some aspects of purchasing tickets. We’ve been seeing more and more scrutiny placed upon the sports and entertainment business in recent years. From the lawsuit that changed NIL rules for college athletes to the pause placed on the PGA and LIV Golf merger, there is a magnifying glass being placed on these industries. Frankly, some of it is much overdue. If you’ve worked in this space, you’ve run into challenges that likely stem from consolidation that has crushed competition. We’ve seen companies try to gobble up as many pieces of the industry as possible. It seems like it’s just a matter of time before they face scrutiny. We can only wonder who is next. #community #sportsbusiness #entertainment

Have you watched Usher's half-time set yet? Last night saw the #superbowl , arguably the biggest sporting event in the USA’s calendar grab the media headlines. With sporting events front and centre in 2024, it’s a good time to look at how the commercial value of sporting events is channelled by brands and how you can do the same. #retail #sportbusiness #marketing https://lnkd.in/eCnhSzi6

Data collected by #TicketManager helps properties find the right experience for each guest. Jim Van Stone, President, Business Operations & Chief Commercial Officer at Monumental Sports & Entertainment, says, “I think the analytics of what we get out of TicketManager gives us a little more ammunition to think differently about how we approach the business.” #SportsBusiness x #Analytics

⏱️When Concessions Hit a Slump: Are 10-Minute Wait Times a Good Thing?! (OR - an admission that even the best-run traditional concession stands are inefficient and slow?) Read more in our blog. #sportstech

It’s easy to forget the great innovation taking place within large companies. As someone that consistently fumbles to find my ticket and wallet on command, AT&T’s work on face-based ticketing and payment options (aka: biometric ticketing and concessions) is really interesting. It’s a beautiful display of innovation that improves live experiences. I’m really curious to see how this technology evolves. Any thoughts on  how marketers will try to get in on it?

🏈 Did you know the average Super Bowl ticket is $9,850? Whether or not you are splurging on a ticket to Sunday’s big game, consumer spending on ticketed events is on the rise, totaling an estimated $95 billion in 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Projections indicate the global events industry to reach $1.75 trillion by 2032.

There's nothing better than seeing your favorite team win at a home game, right? Fans deserve an unforgettable experience when at stadiums and arenas. But what's not often considered is the fan experience inside of the stadium's walls—concessions. According to Oracle, “45% of sports fans have abandoned concession lines at least once in the last year because the wait was too long.” This leads to poor fan experiences, of course, but it also leads to revenue loss. 💡 59% of fans would spend more at concessions if wait times were shorter! The solution is obvious: cashierless checkout. For years, I've been proud to work with AiFi to revolutionize the game with our autonomous store solutions. And I'm happy to share AiFi's latest article showcasing 5 of our stores at stadiums across the globe that are nailing cashierless checkout. Check it out to see the business results these stores are generating for their respective stadiums. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g5TUYC6W
