2023 Ticket sales in the US and Canada reached 93% of 2019 levels.

The Spektrix Ticket Sales dashboard is designed to help you benchmark your sales against current sector-wide booking patterns, updated every quarter to track recovery across the arts industry.

Throughout this dashboard we're looking at the number of tickets sold, not the value of those tickets. That means we're comparing how many tickets, in total, were bought and paid for in 2023, compared to the same month in 2019.

  • 2022 ticket sales in the US and Canada reached 82% of 2019 levels

About the Ticket Sales Dashboard

Where does our data come from?

Spektrix works with over 600 arts and entertainment organizations across the US, Canada, UK and Ireland. Our Ticket Sales dashboard includes real sales data from the vast majority of our users, meaning our figures are based on what we believe to be the most comprehensive dataset of its kind in the cultural sector.

  • We’re comparing 2022/23 to 2019 because of the interruption to ticket sales caused by the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in 2020.
  • Our data is based on the date of transaction, rather than event date. Tickets that were subsequently returned are included in the data, as they’re still representative of customer behavior at the point of booking.
  • We’ve included data from all organizations currently using Spektrix, for which we have data from both 2019 and 2022/23 (447 organizations in total). 
  • Months are all calendar months, and may therefore be impacted by one-off events or days of the week - for example, January 2019 contained four weekends, whereas January 2022 contained five.

Presenting the data

All three charts use the same key, which shows negative figures in orange and positive figures in blue. This color contrast has been chosen to be visible to as many viewers as possible, including people with color blindness or other visual impairments. Similarly, blue has been chosen to represent positive numbers because it enables more people to distinguish between different shades or scales.
