Sports – Ticket Sales Analysis

What is a Ticket Sales Dashboard? Ticket Sales Dashboards are considered revenue analysis tools and are used by analysts and ticket sales managers to monitor sales by ticket vendor and seat type. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it provides analysis from four different perspectives: 1) Pie chart - Total ticket sales by seat type for the current and prior year seasons, 2) Column chart - Total ticket sales by seat type for the current and prior year seasons, 3) Pie chart - Total ticket sales by vendor for the current and prior seasons, and 4) Column chart - Total ticket sales by vendor for current versus prior season, ranked by vendor sales. Using the filters on the top of the screen, the user can filter by year, regular season/pre-season/Post-season as well as Home/Away games. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.

Purpose of Ticket Sales Dashboards Professional sports organizations use Ticket Sales Dashboards to give managers an easy, single screen interface to monitor essential ticket sales metrics. When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) and Ticket Sales departments, an organization can improve its revenues and related strategies, and it can reduce the chances that any ticket vendor or seat type performance issues are not quickly discovered.
