‍

Our first event using atVenu was Kelce Jam, our second-largest event of the entire season. atVenu worked without a hitch. We had last-minute changes to sponsor locations and items and could make those adjustments in seconds without impacting sales anywhere. It was incredible.

‍

‍

Data-Driven Decision Making‍

With access to comprehensive insights and analytics, Azura Amphitheatre could make informed decisions and implement targeted strategies to drive business growth. By leveraging customer data and market trends, the venue could adapt its offerings and marketing initiatives to better align with audience preferences and demand.

‍

I walked by one of our bars at one of our shows and saw no line. I was nervous that we were having a slow night. Then I looked at the real-time reports for that location and saw the sales the bar had for the night...and the numbers were crazy high. It wasn't slow; they were taking orders faster so there wasn't a large line waiting to order!

‍

‍

Record-Breaking Season‍

Empowered by atVenu's capabilities, Azura Amphitheatre achieved its best season yet, surpassing previous revenue records without hitting an attendance record as well. With fewer fans, they saw a higher average dollar per head than prior years. The combination of operational efficiencies, enhanced customer experience, and data-driven decision-making propelled the venue to new heights of success.

‍

‍

"We've experienced a remarkable surge in sales this year, surpassing expectations by 200,000 units. While this figure might not appear significant at first glance, considering our reduced number of shows and numerous 'half house' events, it's truly astounding for us, especially coming from where we were years prior.

‍

Even half-house sales are substantial for an outdoor amphitheater with a sprawling lawn area capable of accommodating 8,000 people. This success reflects our resilience and ability to thrive under difficult circumstances. We can also better gauge our events. We know when to open our lawn based on our accurate projections.
