Magazine

Live music, told from the box office

Electronic music first, then everything that fills a venue. News, features and the ticketing figures nobody else publishes.

The Futura Tickets Magazine covers live music from the box office: attendance and revenue figures, resale and pricing regulation, and festival production. Every piece cites its sources and separates the figure supplied by the organiser from the one verified by a third party.

For the day-to-day of organising, there are the operational guides on the blog and the real-time sales data.
