How are tickets sales for this years Vans Warped Tour?
We beat last year. In this economy that’s pretty good. A lot of kids walked up today. With $40 at the door at Warped Tour, you can come down and buy a ticket. We’re in a good space. I feel strong, plus I’m watching the bands tonight and I just know how the Warped Tour picks up momentum. And the momentum behind bands like 3OH!3 and the excitement about some of these younger bands will start bringing more and more kids out. I think we’ll be fine. Our whole model’s built at 600,000 tickets. …If we can fall right in that over the 46 shows, we’ll be great, we’ll be in business another year. In the video clip below, Lyman discusses with Billboard.biz his future plans for a country-themed music tour and how philosophy on booking bands for Warped Tour has changed over the years.
