Sure, there are numerous intriguing components that go into ticket sales for live events, whether it be pertaining to the buyer or the seller, but one under-reported aspect of the ticket-buying process actually has much to do with the timing of it, as in-depth statistics from Vendini, a San Francisco-based live event software solution provider, suggest. In other words, the time of the year might determine when someone is more likely to buy tickets.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, January and May sell about 15 percent less than a typical month, with January consistently clocking in as the slowest month for ticket sales. This could be attributed to being the immediate comedown month following the holiday season, when most people have completed their busiest shopping sprees, as well as the end of the NFL and college football seasons. As it relates to tickets, consumers will go out of their way to acquire certain tickets, even several months in advance, for the purpose of nabbing their loved one a desired gift for the holidays. In any case, the stats paint a pretty consistent pattern, with sales steadily climbing up from that point on and ultimately spiking in the fall, before declining and bottoming out in January.
Digging further than the months, it's also been gathered that days of the week can also be a determinant for when tickets are purchased. The numbers from Vendini, who have sold over $1 billion in gross sales to date, illustrate that Thursday and Friday decisively rank as the top two busiest days for ticket sales, with Friday emerging as the No. 1 day. In fact, around 40 percent more tickets are sold on Friday compared to the weekly average. Looking at the other side of the equation, the least active day of the week for ticket sales is Sunday, which features 75 percent less tickets being sold than the weekly average. Considering this is usually a day off for people from work, Sundays tend to feature little of anything getting done, let alone consumers rushing to buy tickets.
