Artists, promoters and those who work with them should get their due for the hard work and creative strategy that leads to people showing up to events. Markets around the world should be able to show how well they are performing, which promoters are having success and generating traffic, who is doing business worldwide.
Pollstar is the most credible source and final word for boxoffice data, and we very much believe that posterity should hold the final reckoning of the power of live entertainment, the artists that play the shows, the venues that host them, and the promoters who present them – all over the world.
Pollstar’s charts and rankings are an important marketing tool for agents and venues. Talent buyers and others depend on boxoffice histories to make informed choices. This is particularly true for international markets, as the industry has increasingly become more global in nature and tours are plotted on a global level.
We believe that success can and should breed success. Promoters who showcase their wins can use that data by way of Pollstar – the respected, acknowledged industry tracker and concert business trade of record – to generate more concerts, more partnerships (brand and artist), and more success.
