StubHub

Creator live events are booming right now - so much so that they are selling more live tickets than your favorite musicians. Interesting writeup in Axios by Maxwell Millington. Here are some of the key points... 📈 According to StubHub data, social media influencers, podcasters and authors sold nearly 500% more tickets this year compared to 2024 💰 Creator tour ticket prices were nearly 40% less than traditional live events on average - average across all live entertainment in 2024 was $159, compared to $99 for the top six creator tours 🏅 The top-performing creator tours included Alex Cooper's "Unwell" tour, Crime Junkie's podcast tour, and Mel Robbins' "Let Them" tour I'm not sure I could be any more bullish on IRL creator experiences I understand that an in person event has an insanely high cost per engagement than social media But community is built in the real world, and I'd rather have 100 loyal community captains than 1,000 social media followers. It's why we've taken the Creator Economy Live podcast on the road and done 5 in person recordings The connection we build with the audience is so much deeper than the thousands of people who listen at home but never get to see us in person I definitely have empathy for the people who have to prove the ROI on in person experiences, it's not an easy thing to do But smart marketers know that it's the sum total of the different digital and physical experiences we create that builds a loyal community No one tactic will do it, and no amount of digital shortcuts will build the necessary trust So let this article be a reminder that if you are not focused on IRL, you are missing a big part of the story #influencermarketing #socialmedia #creatoreconomy

After reports that the Cowboys are trading Micah Parsons to the Packers, ticket sales for the Cowboys vs. Packers game on September 28 surged 4x, and interest spiked by 375%. The Micah Effect. #nfl
