Ticket prices keep climbing, fans are harder to reach, and too many shows still play to half-empty rooms. Venues need more ways to make the numbers work. Fans need easier ways to find shows worth leaving the house for.

This one is a conversation, not a product walkthrough. Eric Tobias and Scott Owens have spent years working on both sides of that problem. They'll talk openly about what's changed for independent venues, why it got harder for fans to find shows, and what it takes to get new people through the door.

‍

What we'll dig into:

- Why some nights don't sell and what actually helps

- New sources of revenue for venues beyond tickets and the bar

- Rethinking comps: filling the room with fans who come back and buy next time

- How local communities help fans find venues they've never been to

- How the Opendate + DoStuff partnership puts some of these ideas to work, and what venues like Taffeta Music Hall, The Rockwell, and The Vogue are seeing

- Live Q&A

‍

Speakers:

- Eric Tobias, CEO at Opendate, Partner at Forty5

- Scott Owens, Founder & CEO, DoStuff Media

‍

Built for independent venue owners, talent buyers, marketing managers, and box office leads.
