Add and Update your own events!

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.

BOXOFFICE EVENT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Start Date

The start and end date should be listed in the date span fields. 

MULTIPLE SHOWS: For events with multiple shows, the tickets sold and gross should be an overall total of all shows combined, but the capacity should not be a combined total.  The capacity should represent the average capacity of all shows in the engagement. If you combine the individual show capacities of a multi-show / multi-day engagement, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to correct the capacity before we publish the event report. Our online form will calculate the percentage sold based on sellable capacity and tickets sold, so please double-check that your percentage sold is correct before submitting the event report. Event reports for multi-show / multi-date engagements, and for static performing arts events should be reported on a week-by-week basis. Multi-show / multi-day engagements longer than seven days should be broken out and reported in multiple reports representing weekly figures. If you report each individual show of a multi-show / multi-day engagement you risk the chance that we may make a mathematical error that we are not responsible for. We do not combine these events after the run is completed.

Add additional HEADLINER / CO-HEADLINERS

Add additional SUPPORT:

Please include any and all performers that appeared at the event in the order of their importance.

Pollstar receives tour information from agents and will often have support artists and other names for events. Because of the nature of their information, if an event reported is listed in our database as a festival, or if additional support artists are listed, we will include this information as part of the event report.

TICKET PRICE

Please report gross and ticket price in the native currency of the country where the event took place. Native currencies are converted to U.S. Dollars with exchange rate current to the month the event took place. Any currencies for event reports outside of the U.S. reported in U.S. currency will be converted to the native currency of the country where the event occurred.

Ticket price should be the face value of the tickets available to the general public.

SELLABLE CAPACITY

Represents the tickets available for sale for 1 show, or average tickets available on multi-show engagements. Submissions should subtract complimentary tickets and production kills from the capacity of the venue to give an accurate representation of the tickets available for sale.

TICKETS SOLD

Represents total paid tickets for 1 show, or total paid tickets for entire multiple date engagements. Do not include complimentary tickets or production kills on the “Tickets Sold” line.

BOX GROSS

Gross should be the total monies received from ticket sales. Do not include taxes, outlet, or venue fees in total gross.

CONFIRMATION

An e-mail will be automatically sent with each submission to the email associated with your log in account.

DISCRETION

Should you have any events that are “Not For Publication,” or “For cumulative totals only,” etc., please contact us prior to submitting the data on a circumstantial basis.

ARTIST REPRESENTATIVES

Reports are accepted directly from talent buyers and venues. Agents and managers can submit information, but the information must be confirmed with the talent buyer or venue before the data is published. Because of this, data submitted from an “Artist Representative” MUST be submitted through the Online Boxoffice Report Form. The “Confirmation” email will also receive an email of the submission. If the “Confirmation” e-mail bounces, we will not process the report. This will ensure all parties involved are aware of the submission and provide us with all the necessary information to process your report. An “Artist Representative” can only submit boxoffice data for events where their acts are the headliner of the event being submitted.

We strongly encourage agents and managers to ask talent buyers and venues to report the information to speed up the publication process. Many agents include reporting to Pollstar in their artist contracts and include a copy of our reporting form in the rider.

FESTIVALS

Festival boxoffice figures must come from the festival promoter / organizer directly. If you have festival figures you would like Pollstar to review, please contact us with the event figures and buyer contact information via the information below. Do NOT submit this information through our online reporting form. Keep in mind that no particular act will receive credit for the gross figures under review. If accepted, festival figures will serve as historical data for the festival itself.

QUESTIONS

If you have any questions please feel free to contact our Boxoffice Editor, Bradley J. Rogers, brad@pollstar.com.
