A 14,000-capacity arena had a packed booking calendar and a problem: fans weren't finding out about shows until it was too late. They needed a way to reach the right fans — not blast a general audience — across a wide market, show after show.
They chose Bandsintown Pro to drive ticket sales through automated event promotion across Bandsintown and major platforms.
The Goal
Drive ticket sales
Every event went live on Bandsintown with a premium event page and automatically synced to Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Apple Maps, Amazon Music, Google, and Shazam — putting each show in front of fans already searching and streaming.
From there, automated email and push alerts reached Bandsintown followers of each performing artist at 5 key moments: announcement, on-sale, 1 month out, 1 week out, and 1 day out.
Featured event placements across Bandsintown's app, website, and emails kept every show visible, while dedicated email campaigns reached artist followers and fans of similar artists.
The Tactics
Bandsintown Pro for Venues
Over 9 months, the arena’s Bandsintown Pro subscription costed $27,000 and drove $250,000 in ticket revenue, an 8.3x ROI.
In total, Bandsintown delivered 71,300 ticket clicks and 2,100 tickets sold at a $0.34 eCPC — driven by a combination of automated distribution, featured placements, and 3.1 million targeted email and push alerts (25.8% email open rate and 13% push open rate)
