Ticket counts

Ticket counts are the number of tickets sold for a show at a point in time, shared by the promoter or venue with the artist team, agents and partners.

Also called: ticket count, counts, daily counts, ticket count report

Definition

A ticket count is a snapshot of sales for one event: how many tickets are sold, often split by ticket type or price level, and sometimes with comps and holds. Promoters and venues send counts on a schedule (daily or weekly) to booking agents, artist managers, co-promoters and sponsors so everyone works from the same numbers.

Worked example

A promoter emails "412 sold of 500 cap, +38 since yesterday" to the booking agent every morning at 9:00.

Illustrative numbers, not a real show.

In a TicketCounts.io report

A TicketCounts.io report is a scheduled ticket count for one event: tickets sold, the change since the last report and tickets by type (Eventbrite) or paid and free totals (Universe), emailed to the recipients you choose.
