Miley Cyrus Tour 2014 'Bangerz' Dates, Tickets, Prices & Details: Arena Spots Creates Highest Buzz Live Nation Has Ever Seen
Social media platform Live Nation reached its highest "RSVP" levels on Saturday, Nov. 16, when tickets for Miley Cyurs' Bangerz tour went on sale, but experts are left questioning what can they do to leverage massive fan numbers into paying customers.
The respective question was one of the main points AEG Live's VP of digital Joyce Szudzik posed to the panel of digital marketing leaders at the 10th annual Billboard Touring Conference recently, according to Billboard. Executives from Facebook, Eventful, Gupta Media., Live Nation, Eventbright and Ticketfly discussed how to get marketing buzz translated in capital; how to get fans to actually make the purchases the companies want.
Content is still the reiging way to grab attention, said Ryan Okum, SVP of social media Live Nation. "Fans will do a lot of the marketing for us."
One example he gave was Cyrus' Bangerz tour, which she announced Oct. 26 on Saturday Night Live: "We put a Facebook event in place, and late last night we crossed 100,000 RSVPs, which is the highest we've seen thus far. We also know that on average each concertgoer has around 300 friends on Facebook, so it's just that hand raising of 'yes I am attending this event' -- it does wonders for us."
Icona Pop and Sky Ferreira will headline Cyrus' 38-day arena tour, which will kick off on Feb. 14 in Vancouver and end April 24 at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, N.Y.
Fans wanting to buy a premium package offered by VIP Nation to have a meet-and-greet with Cyrus will have to pay $1,000. "Smilers" will get an individual photo with the Wrecking Ball singer as well as the following:
