“When naming Ludus, we wanted to avoid names containing ‘Tix’ or ‘Tickets,’ because our vision was always bigger than ticketing,” says Ludus CEO Zachary Collins. “We aimed to represent the business and financial backbone of the performing arts industry without limiting ourselves by a name.” https://lnkd.in/gf3xDGHR

"How much does a magician actually cost?" 🪄 It's one of the first things people ask me, so I've just given my pricing guide a quick update with numbers by event type (weddings, parties, corporate), what you're actually paying for beyond "an hour of card tricks," and a few red flags to watch for if you're comparing quotes. Have a read here: https://lnkd.in/eyrsbqyZ And if you've got an event coming up soon, I'd love to hear about it — maybe some magic will be perfect for it!!! #yorkevents #entertainment #prices

A venue can look right and still create problems for your planned experience. The capacity works. But does the guest flow? The space fits the concept. But can the production get in, get built, and run within the venue’s restrictions? Those questions belong in the search from the start. With BeCore’s Venue Intelligence, our team takes your brief, researches the options, and creates a personalized report to help you reach a shortlist faster. Venues don’t pay to be included in our portal. Our recommendations start with what you’re trying to create. Tell us what you want to build. We’ll help you figure out where it can work.

The entertainment industry is built on relationships. Artists, event planners, brands, venues, agencies and audiences every successful event is the result of people trusting each other to deliver. For me, artist management is not just about bookings. It’s about building those relationships, creating opportunities and turning conversations into experiences. Still learning. Still building. Still connecting. #ArtistManagement #EventManagement #EntertainmentIndustry #Networking

Germany’s Summer Breeze Festival has credited its independent structure with putting it on track for its “fastest ever sell-out” for 2027, while saying rising artist and production costs are making it “more difficult” for independent events to operate. https://lnkd.in/eJWx_SF7 #summerbreeze #germany #musicbusiness

Meaningful federal ticketing reform is gaining momentum. Today, NIVA applauds the advancement of the bipartisan MAIN Event Ticketing Act and strongly supports Senator Ben Ray Luján’s newly introduced Guaranteeing Honest Ownership in Secondary Ticketing — or GHOST — Act. The MAIN Event Ticketing Act would strengthen enforcement against illegal bots, give consumers a direct way to report suspected violations, improve coordination among regulators and law enforcement, and require greater accountability for BOTS Act enforcement. The GHOST Act would establish a nationwide prohibition on speculative ticketing, preventing resellers from listing or selling tickets they do not actually possess. We are especially grateful to Senator Luján for unveiling the legislation at Taos Mothership, a NIVA member venue, and hearing directly from the independent live entertainment community. NIVA thanks Senators Marsha Blackburn and Ben Ray Luján and Representatives Diana Harshbarger and TROY A. CARTER, Sr. for their bipartisan leadership on the MAIN Event Ticketing Act. As these meaningful reforms advance, NIVA continues to oppose the TICKET Act as written, which fails to fully prohibit speculative ticket sales and lacks the stronger protections and enforcement that fans and independent stages need. Congress should pass the MAIN Event Ticketing Act and advance the GHOST Act to deliver real protections for fans, artists, and independent stages. Read the full release: https://lnkd.in/ej7BwZbt

A lot of what I do comes down to trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. A meeting planner tells me what they need for their event, a venue has what it has, and those two things are rarely a perfect match on the first conversation. So I go back and forth between them, sometimes for weeks, finding out where there's flexibility on each side and adjusting until I have something that works for both. The planner doesn't know our venues and the venue doesn't know the planner's constraints, and if I just hand them each other's phone numbers and step back, the deal usually doesn't come together. What I try to do is find the common ground and smooth out the edges before I ever make an introduction. By the time the two parties actually talk, most of the hard questions are already answered, the planner has a reasonable idea of what they're getting, the venue knows roughly what's coming, and what's left is mostly paperwork. I don't know how standard that approach is in other markets. It's just how I've always done it. (Luckily once the Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit Convention Center opens next year, I'll have a lot more purpose-built space to offer and my matchmaking will be a lot easier!)

A new report from Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator shows that Americans audiences are paying $11 billion to corporate resellers and online ticketing platforms each year. Imagine what our arts and events industry could look like with $11 billion going directly to artists and venues. And imagine what our economy would look like with $11 billion in Americans' pockets. I'm proud that Vermont's ticket resale law is included as a model example of what is possible. https://lnkd.in/gB3RgTfW

A smooth event is not created by one team doing everything. It is created when every team knows what they own: and what they do not. Before event day, planners, venues, presenters, performers, and production teams should be aligned on the details that can quietly create major problems: Who is providing power, and where is it located? Who has access to the room, stage, loading areas, and equipment? What is the load-in schedule, and who can approve changes? Who is supplying presentation files, videos, music, and other content? Who is responsible for operating microphones, slides, playback, lighting, or other show elements? What happens if the schedule changes or something stops working? These are not minor production notes. They affect safety, timing, communication, and the experience of everyone in the room. Clear boundaries do not create distance between vendors. They create accountability and give everyone a better chance to do their job well. The best event teams communicate early, document responsibilities, and make sure there is no confusion about who is handling what. That preparation gives the client confidence and allows the event to feel seamless when the doors open.
