The Online Event Ticket Sales industry suffered a significant downturn during the pandemic, with a major drop in ticket sales. However, as constraints eased in 2021-22, revenue began to recover thanks to consumers returning to live events. Record crowd attendance at various sporting events in 2023 and 2024 has partly driven this resurgence. The return of international performers like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay to Australian shores has also boosted concert ticket sales significantly. This strong revival has seen profitability climb significantly between 2022-23 and 2024-25, as growth in revenue has resulted in lower average fixed costs. Industrywide revenue is on track to grow in 2024-25, yet venue capacity limits and congestion may limit the scope for increased sales volumes. Overall, industry revenue is expected to climb at an annualised 18.9% over the five years through 2024-25 to $512.8 million, including an anticipated bump of 2.3% in 2024-25. Ticketmaster Australasia Pty Limited (Ticketmaster) and TEG Pty Ltd (Ticketek) dominate online ticket sales. Exclusivity agreements with artists and event organisers, along with binding contracts with major locations and stadiums, uphold their market command. The market share held by these two giants in 2024-25 is expected to exceed 70.0%. The future of the Online Event Ticket Sales industry looks bright, with a significant hike in revenue anticipated over the next few years. As the industry evolves, investment in technology will become critical, especially for maintaining consumer sentiment and withstanding potential venue turnarounds. Major players like Ticketek and Ticketmaster will maintain strong market shares, protected by their exclusive contracts with key venues. Even so, market saturation is set to progress, leaving less scope for new entrants. That's why smaller companies will face challenges in a market dominated by large, established firms. Revenue is forecast to expand at an annualised 4.6% through the end of 2029-30, to $640.7 million.

The concert industry in North America – additional information

Despite physical music sales declining, the concert industry in North America remains healthy. A ranking of the highest grossing music tour each year held in North America since 2000 reveals which artists had the largest audience draw each year. In the 16 years since 2000, the Irish rock band U2 have held the title for the highest grossing music tour four times in the years 2001, 2009, 2011, and 2017, which reflects not only the longevity of their career, but also their popularity with fans. However, the accolade of bestselling concert in this timeframe goes to Taylor Swift, because her 2015 tour generated revenue of almost 200 million U.S. dollars.

The revenue generated by concerts and tours heavily relies on the number of tickets being sold. The high price of tickets can often act as a deterrent for consumers. From 2011, the average price for a music tour concert admission has been slowly on the rise. In 2011, the average price was approximately 78 U.S. dollars, but this figure increased to almost 85 U.S. dollars in 2017.

Live music has always been popular. A chance to see some of the world’s biggest musicians in the flesh is often too big an opportunity for fans to miss.

However, the most popular answer during the poll would see audiences travel in further in time to the 1950s, as 22 percent wished to see Buddy Holly and the Crickets perform live.

Frequency & pricing Since the pandemic, the annual number of movie tickets sold across the UK stood below 150 million for the first time in the 21st century.
