In July 2021, Grayscale Marketing reached a significant achievement by surpassing the one million ticket sales milestone for our event clients. Since then, we have continued to thrive, selling an additional 620,000 tickets, bringing us close to the two million tickets sold mark.

 

To put this achievement into context, the 1,620,000 tickets sold would be equivalent to selling out the CMA Festival, Bonnaroo, and Pilgrimage Festival (with a combined capacity of 197,000) for eight consecutive years. As a reference, the 2022 CMA Festival in Nashville had an estimated 80,000 attendees, while Bonnaroo has a capacity of 90,000 and Pilgrimage Festival sits at 27,000.

 

This success was made possible by serving a diverse client base across 50 states in the US and 47 countries worldwide. Our services include marketing, advertising, and supportive consulting for venues, rodeos, conferences, amphitheaters, fairs, and festivals. Our client roster includes events such as Cheyenne Frontier Days (271,000 attendees), SunFest (100,000 attendees), Nebraska State Fair (282,000 attendees), and smaller events such as Twin Cities Summer Jam (21,000 attendees), as well as venues with capacities ranging from 700 to 2,500.
