Revenue grew 12% with show count and ticket sales tracking ahead of the prior year by double digits, while Venue Nation fan count was expected to grow at a double-digit rate. The DOJ settlement and regulatory uncertainty remained the key overhang, though secondary ticketing faced a mid-single-digit structural headwind from broker inventory restrictions. Premium hospitality monetization and Ticketmaster product innovation with AI continued advancing.
