In the broader entertainment marketplace, questions of domestic market conditions, product saturation, quality and price points for ticketed live entertainment have beguiled producers and left Broadway musicals facing a financial crisis, according to the New York Times’ Michael Paulson, who explains that none of the 18 commercial musicals that opened last season have turned a profit. Furthermore, costly productions like Tammy Faye, Boop!, Smash, Cabaret, and Gypsy all closed at a total loss despite big budgets and, in some cases, strong reviews. Since the pandemic, only three new musicals have recouped investments (MJ, & Juliet, Six), all bolstered by government aid. Paulson cites rising labor, material, rent, and vendor costs – combined with average ticket prices that aren’t keeping pace – as the main culprits for the predicament. Meanwhile, famed composer Andrew Lloyd Webber observes that “Broadway is not a business anymore. The statistics are terrible. I am very worried. I look at the economics of this, and I just don’t see how it can sustain.” To wit, long-running blockbusters like Hamilton, Wicked, and The Lion King remain strong, but producers fear the struggles of new works will chill creativity and job growth. Investors are also increasingly wary, with some shifting to plays, which are cheaper to produce and have lately been more profitable thanks to celebrity-driven limited runs. Industry leaders also point the finger at both inflation and a post-pandemic oversupply of musicals for recent failures, though the number of new openings is now shrinking. (link)

Team presidents from MLB, MLS and NWSL discussed how they are approaching revenue growth, fan engagement and facility investment in a wide-ranging conversation at SBJ’s AXS DRIVE event in L.A., moderated by SBJ Publisher Abe Madkour. Panelists included San Francisco Giants President/CEO Larry Baer, Arizona Diamondbacks President/CEO/General Partner Derrick Hall, LA Galaxy President of Business Operations/COO Tom Braun and Chicago Stars FC President Karen Leetzow. When asked what the next major revenue stream might be, Hall pointed to international opportunities tied to star players and said teams need to rethink ticketing models. “The old days of just season tickets are over with. Now we have to come up with summer passes or season passes and convert them hopefully into season ticket or advantage members.” He also emphasized the need to activate facilities year-round, noting “it’s about retail, it’s about office space, restaurants, bars, activation, year-round – that’s revenue.” (link)

While athletic departments around the country continue right-sizing the capacities of newly constructed or renovated facilities, SBJ's Bret McCormick reports Live Nation is making venue development a core growth driver, launching an $1B+ expansion with 18 new projects, including builds in Salt Lake City (with Smith Entertainment Group), Raleigh, Pittsburgh, Orlando & Atlanta. McCormick explains the new Live Nation venues are typically indoor music halls with capacities of 3K to 6K seats, a flat floor ideal for dancing (unlike the old theaters that populate many major American cities) and a balcony. Live Nation’s in-house design practice, Blueprint Studio, handles the fit-out of the purpose-built buildings that are engineered to the music fan’s specs and fill a (capacity) gap in the market. The MGM Music Hall at Fenway, a joint venture between Live Nation and Fenway Sports Group, opened in 2022 and grossed $28.5M in 2024, validating the model and prompting a 4K-capacity Pittsburgh project near PPG Paints Arena. In downtown Atlanta, Centennial Yards President Brian McGowan says live events businesses have been drawn to the 50-acre development adjacent to Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena for obvious reasons: 23M annual visitors to downtown Atlanta; proximity to three pro sports teams and major touring acts; and, in Live Nation’s case, a vibrant music scene that could support a newer, mid-sized venue.

Introducing: Margins of Victory
A new podcast featuring in-depth conversations with revenue generators inside and outside of college athletics.

Episode 1: Maryland AD Jim Smith joined host Craig Pintens, AD at Loyola Marymount, to discuss how he has been applying his experience from the NFL, MLB, and MLS to his new role leading Terrapin Athletics. Topics included in the conversation:

➤ Stratification of Ticketing: Creating high-value, differentiated products to "squeeze the middle" of ticket inventory.
➤ Fan-First Pricing: Adopting the Falcons' successful model of fan-friendly core concession prices to drive trust and engagement.
➤ Culture, Experience, Revenue: Prioritizing a championship culture and enhancing the fan experience as the primary drivers of long-term revenue growth.

Monumental Sports & Entertainment Founder/CEO Ted Leonsis says the Golden State Valkyries “might be the first or second best launch of a startup sports team.” Speaking at the CNBC Sport x Boardroom’s Game Plan Summit, Leonsis noted the Valkyries sold out every game and did “three times the revenues” of his WNBA team, the Washington Mystics. Leonsis believes their valuation is “going to be a billion dollars next year” and argues the style of play in the WNBA is “better than the NBA. … You go to a WNBA game, there’s flow, there’s cutting. It’s a beautiful, beautiful game. I can’t tell you how many times it was, ‘Sell this, dump this, it’s losing money. No one cares about it.’ We had no coverage.” Leonsis also explains: “I was chairman of the media committee at the NBA, the last deal, I was chairman of the media committee this deal. And that last deal at the very last minute, we begged ESPN to give us $12M, $1M a team with a 3.5% escalator. And that really helped. This time, the deal was much more compelling.” (link)

How have the Valkyries done it so quickly? The team’s home court, dubbed “Ballhalla” (the Chase Center), according to the New York Times’ Heather Knight and Gabriela Bhaskar, has turned into a cultural hub, blending celebrities, LGBTQ fan groups, and families into one of the most diverse crowds in sports. In fact, just 7% of those who bought season tickets had previously purchased Golden State Warriors season tickets, meaning the Valkyries have built a whole new fan base. The team has had broad appeal in its first season, and just over half of those with season tickets have been men and boys, the team said. There is also a large LGBTQ contingent, and season ticket holder Jennifer Price remarks: “I love it when we win, but when we lose, I leave just as happy. I see all types of people. All different ethnicities, all different ages, kids, parents, queers, straights.” Joe Lacob and Peter Guber combined to pay $50M in 2023 for the rights to a WNBA expansion team, and Knight and Bhaskar note the investment has “ballooned by a factor of 10.” More.

Success is not without challenges for the WNBA as The Athletic’s Ben Pickman reports on a central tension facing the league: namely, explosive growth has pushed ticket prices to record highs, leaving some longtime fans feeling squeezed out of the inclusive, family-friendly culture they helped build. For instance, New York Liberty fan Caitlin Shann explains that her season-ticket cost rose from $600 in 2023 to nearly $1,700 for 2026, prompting her to walk away. Shann also built a spreadsheet tracking renewals and found that many fans have documented 100%+ increases. League-wide, Pickman notes, Vivid Seats has reported a 43% average price jump YoY. He adds that the surge coincides with the W’s momentum: rising TV ratings, merchandise sales, and attendance; five new franchises by 2030; and an 11-year, $2.2B media deal starting next season. Yet operational costs are also rising, with multiple franchises building or renovating practice facilities. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert says the ticket price increases are a function of the league arriving as a “legitimate sports and entertainment property,” adding: “When there’s high demand, prices go up, that’s just simple economics. While I hope we didn’t price out families and a lot of our fans, I realize there are some issues in the system. But we do have to balance that with ultimately how this league has arrived in the sports landscape.” (link)

More from Monumental & a perspective on the monetization of memories: SBJ’s Chris Smith examines how cllct is positioning itself as the sports industry’s first memorabilia agency and observes: “When Monumental Sports & Entertainment announced a multiyear deal with cllct to be its cultural history and collectibles partner this past February, the plan was for the sports memorabilia firm to perform a historical audit, identifying the assets in MSE’s possession and helping to preserve the historical legacy of its teams. Except the Washington Capitals’ Alex Ovechkin kept scoring at a torrid pace, and it soon became clear that he would likely break Wayne Gretzky’s long-standing goals record before the end of the NHL season — and well before anybody’s initial expectations.” MSE President of Media and New Enterprises Zach Leonsis tells Smith that cllct sprang into action, acting in lockstep with MSE to capitalize on the moment: “We worked with Alex to ensure he was wearing a certain number of jerseys. We carved out the locker from the away locker room on Long Island. We melted the ice, we preserved the net the goal was scored on, we cut the other net up into individual pieces that we could sell and commercialize.” The Caps eventually offered their fans commemorative items featuring portions of the ice and a warmup net from the game, with prices ranging from $895 to $1,499. Lots more. (link)

The US Open (tennis) has “become a victim of its own success, generating record revenues while simultaneously alienating the very fans who built its popularity,” according to Huddle Up publisher Joe Pompliano, who observes: “Despite the USTA having nearly $300M in cash reserves, organizers are now removing thousands of cheaper seats to replace them with higher-priced, higher-margin luxury suites.” Already, Pompliano points out, the cheapest first-round tickets have “skyrocketed from $69 in 2015 to $169 in 2025, a 145% increase compared to general inflation of just 29% to 33% over the same period. Even more dramatically, the tournament’s signature Honey Deuce cocktail has increased in price from $14.50 in 2012 to $23 in 2025, a 57.14% rise that exceeds inflation by approximately 18%. Not to mention, the cheapest ticket on the secondary market for this year’s men’s final was selling for over $1,000, making it one of the most expensive sporting events ever.” The USTA’s total operating revenue grew to over $620M in 2024, a 7% increase YoY. Ticket sales last year generated $208.5M (37.3% of total tournament revenue), sponsorship deals brought in $130.5M (23.3%), corporate hospitality contributed $83.3M (14.9%) and broadcast rights added $145M (25.9%). (link)

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver last week acknowledged that the league has become a “highlights-based sport,” noting that “there is a huge amount of our content that people can essentially consume for free. So, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, you name it. … Your content is not behind a paid firewall.” Puck’s Julia Alexander observes that while everything Silver said is true, it’s still a “startling admission – and presumably one that Silver felt comfortable making only after securing a $77B, 11-year rights deal with NBCUniversal, Disney, and Amazon.” Alexander goes on to note that 70% of the NBA’s social audience is international, and viewership in markets like France, Spain, and Portugal has surged thanks to scheduling shifts and star power, giving Amazon and other rightsholders a global growth story to bet on. Silver’s framing, Alexander continues, suggests the league is redefining what success looks like: monetizing a massive global digital audience while trusting new superstars and rivalries will eventually revive traditional TV viewership, a la Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Long-term, Alexander expects NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred to make comments similar to Silver’s. “They just need to secure their version of the $77B that gave Silver the confidence to say the quiet part out loud.” More.

The Washington Capitals will offer paper tickets to their season-ticket holders for the entire 2025-26 campaign, the team announced earlier this month, and Cllct Founder Darren Rovell posits: “Physical tickets are much like airplane food. No one talked much about them when they were there, but once they were gone, it became a travesty. Over the last 15 years, as tickets throughout sports and entertainment have gone from physical to digital, ticket collecting started to emerge as a new vertical in the hobby. After tickets were the second fastest growing sector of PSA grading in 2024, the world’s largest grader created a separate office for intake to handle demand.” Rovell also notes that Monumental Sports and Entertainment, the Capitals' parent company, “has a close relationship with cllct. Monumental is one of the clients in our consultancy, the first of its kind in the collectible space. … When we met with the group about tickets, Jim Van Stone, Monumental's president and chief commercial officer, had a bold suggestion: ‘Why don’t we just do paper tickets again for a year?’ … So, we got on the horn with PSA’s chief ticket authenticator, Matt Fuller. The stipulation? Whether the tickets were used for entry or not, they had to be eligible to be used in the arena on the date of the game. That obviously means the tickets had to be printed before the game. And they had to have specific section, row and seat numbers (if not a suite) and those specific numbers could not be duplicated. Once that was communicated, it was a go.” (link)

Tylenol is looking to get more involved in the sports space, as evidenced by the company’s multiyear partnership with the NWSL and subsequent deal with Gotham FC, and Jen Gow, US head of pain at Tylenol’s parent company, Kenvue, tells Marketing Brew’s Alyssa Meyers: “As we were trying to figure out what we wanted to do to connect with our consumers and support women’s sports, it just was really clear for us [that] sports and pain relief go very well together. Greatness hurts, and we want to support great athletes.” Gow goes on to explain that the company first became interested in sports sponsorships around the Olympics, noting that “we celebrate gold, and we also celebrate bronze and silver, but there’s such a huge opportunity to celebrate just the effort and the grind that athletes go through throughout their careers. We started looking at, ‘How can we support athletes who have been sidelined?’” So far, Gow is getting the reach she’s looking for solely via women’s sports, and there are no plans as of yet to cross over into men’s sports.
