Send us a textMinor league veteran and Game Day Advising founder Mike Van Hise breaks down how teams can squeeze more revenue from the same building—without gutting budgets or fan experience. We talk menu engineering, speed vs. margin at concessions, season-seat strategy, staffing math, and a simple “3% better” rule that compounds into real profit. If you lead marketing, ticketing, or operations, this is a tactical roadmap you can use this homestand.Key Topics CoveredClarity over cuts: Why operational efficiency starts with knowing where money flows (and leaks), not slashing line items.Concessions that move: Menu simplification, bottles/cans vs. fountain, and designing for speed so fans buy twice, not once.Presentation = price: “Cook to order” stations (grill, tacos/nachos) that lift perceived value and per caps.Ticketing mix that protects you from weather: Targeting a 33/33/33 revenue blend (season seats / groups / singles) and pushing pre-sold to 55–66%.Season seats the right way: Focus on business buyers; don't waste cycles trying to jump a single-game fan to 70 games.Change management: Killing “this is how we've always done it” by building trust and showing a clear plan.Smart staffing: Use entry-gate data, cross-train roles, and cut idle time early to avoid morale hits later.The 3% Rule: Micro-efficiencies across 150–200 budget lines, vendor prepay discounts, and compounding gains.Per-cap wins: Right number of beer taps, local SKUs for pricing power, and distributor intel (what's actually selling).Fail small, learn fast: Encourage $100–$500 tests; avoid the $10,000 mistake. Keep a “Book of Bad Ideas.”Timestamps00:00 – Why operational efficiency = clarity, not cuts02:53 – Defining operational efficiency for sports teams06:01 – Concessions: menu design, SKUs, and speed vs. margin08:59 – Ticketing strategy: groups vs. season seats (and when to push each)11:57 – Overcoming “we've always done it this way”15:03 – Baseball's timing reality: build for 90–130 sec windows17:53 – Game entertainment efficiency (and why fireworks always work)20:56 – The “Book of Bad Ideas”: inventory, concerts, and learning loops21:21 – Over-prep vs. under-prep: where margins die23:22 – Culture: allow small mistakes; forbid big ones28:12 – The 3% improvement rule (and vendor discount plays)33:11 – Per-cap levers: cook-to-order, local beer, the right number of taps37:40 – What Game Day Advising actually does (and how to engage)Call to ActionBook a 30-minute consultation with Mike and the Game Day Advising team to map your top efficiency wins for next season.Check out Mike's article on season seat strategy and grab his full-club assessment overview.

Robin DeCleur ist Director Communications der SPIEL und als solcher begleitet er die Organisation und Durchführung und gehört zum Führungsteam der SPIEL. In diesem Gespräch erzählt er, was es Neues geben wird und worauf wir uns freuen können. Achtung: Das Gespräch wurde bereits im August aufgezeichnet, es hat nun ein wenig gedauert.

Nextech3D.ai CEO Evan Gappelberg talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the early launch of the company's blockchain ticketing solution and how it aligns with its broader event technology strategy. Gappelberg explained that the initiative builds on Nextech3D.ai's recent Eventdex acquisition and its AI-powered event suite. He said: “It really adds transparency, eliminates fraud, opens up new revenue streams through the resale and royalties of tickets.” The Ethereum-based platform is designed to support global events, especially blockchain-focused ones, by enabling borderless ticketing capabilities. Gappelberg emphasised that this technology is not just a milestone, but a “revenue accelerator” for the company. Looking ahead, Nextech3D.ai is already exploring expansion beyond ticketing to areas such as credentials for continuing education and asset verification. The company is also quoting large AI matchmaking deals and sees potential to generate between $5 million and $10 million in blockchain-related revenue from 2026 onwards. Despite the focus on blockchain, Gappelberg highlighted that the business remains diversified, running over 500 events annually. The company continues to upsell services such as white-label apps, AI matchmaking, and ticketing to increase average order values. Gappelberg also mentioned that new 3D modelling and event contracts are expected to be announced within the next 30 to 60 days. For more updates like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has been especially visible over the past week with several key developments making headlines in science, health, and public speaking circles. He just released new episodes of the Huberman Lab podcast, including a widely discussed conversation with Dr. Konstantina Stankovic, chair of otolaryngology at Stanford, about the science of hearing loss, cognitive decline, and the best protocols to protect hearing. Huberman framed the growing link between hearing loss and dementia as one of the most pressing public health challenges, and the episode is rapidly climbing streaming charts. At the same time, he continued the podcast's focus on neurological essentials with another episode highlighting major advances in how the brain interprets vision and color in partnership with Brown University's Dr. David Berson. These have been spotlighted in recent roundups from academic health sites and cited on social media by science journalists and wellness influencers.Another highly anticipated story is the pre-release buzz around his book Protocols, an actionable guide to optimizing brain performance, mood, and physical health, which has now opened for pre-order according to his official website. Given the early attention and relevance to wide health-conscious audiences, some outlets predict Protocols could become a reference on science-driven lifestyle strategies. The Huberman Lab's membership continues to soar, with newsletter engagement and YouTube subscriber counts both hitting new records.In person, Huberman is generating excitement for a live tour with an upcoming appearance scheduled for October 22 in Atlanta, alongside filmmaker Casey Neistat at The Eastern. Ticketing partners like Vivid Seats confirm this is expected to be a sold-out event, and fan speculation is mounting about whether Huberman will tease additional initiatives or collaborations on stage. Meanwhile, he stays active in the academic environment, notably joining discussions hosted by the Allen Institute, where he recently interviewed Dr. Christof Koch, adding to his ongoing engagement with leading thinkers in neuroscience.Social media chatter is up, with several viral clips from his recent podcasts trending on platforms like Instagram and X. Huberman's commentary on hearing health and lifestyle optimization has been featured in micro-influencer reels, and #hubermanlab remains a top-trending topic in the wellness community. There is occasional fan speculation about possible commercial partnerships due to repeat mentions of supplement and cookware brands during his podcast ads, but these remain standard sponsor reads and not confirmed equity deals. No controversies or negative stories have emerged, and the upcoming book release and Atlanta event are widely considered his next major moments.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

On our latest adventure we chat with Ritesh Patel, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Ticket Fairy, an advanced AI-native vertical SaaS platform built specifically for the live entertainment industry. Similar to the show How It's Made, we talk with Ritesh about what Ticket Fairy is and how it was turned into what it is today, such as: thinking of the concept, coding and developing, testing it on his own gigs, beta testing with his friends, pitching and selling investors, scaling the business and product, and continuing to enhance and grow the platform's capabilities. It's a fascinating look into an interesting industry platform and what goes into building a business. Additionally, Ritesh is the creator of LOCUS, which he originally started to promote shows in 2000 and revived in 2022 into what is now two multi-day annual festivals in Tulum and Bali. We talk through both events and how they allow him to continue to follow his passion for being a promoter, which was incubated by falling in love with the rave scene while in college in Bristol. Enjoy this interesting, educational episode that is steeped in a love for live events and exploring ways to make things easier for those that put them on.Ritesh Patel: Instagram | X/Twitter | LinkedInTicket Fairy: Facebook | Instagram | X/Twitter ––––––ADVENTURES IN VENUELANDFollow on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, or X/TwitterLearn more about Event & Venue Marketing ConferenceMeet our team:Paul Hooper | Co-host, Booking, Branding & MarketingDave Redelberger | Co-host & Guest ResearchMegan Ebeck | Marketing, Design & Digital AdvertisingSamantha Marker | Marketing, Copywriting & PublicityCamille Faulkner | Audio Editing & MixingHave a suggestion for a guest or bonus episode?

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has cemented his position as both a neuroscientist of record and a public phenomenon in the past few days. Most notably, he continues to dominate the science-media landscape thanks to the enduring popularity and influence of the Huberman Lab podcast, which remains a perennial chart-topper on Apple and Spotify and is currently lauded as the number one health and fitness podcast globally. The October 6th episode features an in-depth conversation with retired Navy SEAL DJ Shipley, offering listeners almost four hours of insights into mental resilience, trauma, physical and psychological recovery, and tools for self-mastery. Listeners and reviewers have responded with high praise, with Apple Podcast comments and community responses likening Huberman's life advice to “a Nobel Prize for this podcast,” and calling his insights life-changing. A major headline in recent days has been the enthusiastic reaction to his exploration of how to become “unbreakable,” with the episode itself trending on social platforms and on podcast charts, fueling further interest in his work.Simultaneously, Huberman's latest guidebook, “Protocols,” remains on pre-order and is already being hailed across health-and-wellness communities as essential reading for optimizing brain function, mood, physical performance, and behavioral transformation. Science and wellness influencers have lit up X and Instagram with shout-outs about its anticipated release. On the media front, his advice about smartphone habits was highlighted by Men's Journal, where he attracted attention by suggesting that mindless phone breaks—even those done with the intent of recharging—may not always deliver the desired restorative effect. This nuance sparked a flurry of social media debates and think-pieces, capturing both public curiosity and criticism.In terms of public appearances, Huberman was a featured main-stage speaker at the high-profile Network State Conference in Singapore on October 3rd. Sharing the bill with tech and blockchain luminaries like Vitalik Buterin and Brian Armstrong, he tackled themes including the neurobiology of community and digital society, again generating buzz among science, tech, and startup circles. Clips from his Singapore remarks were widely shared and discussed on both X and YouTube.On the tour circuit, fans are already abuzz about his scheduled event at The Eastern in Atlanta on October 22, 2025, where he's set to appear alongside YouTube sensation Casey Neistat. Ticketing platforms report brisk sales and substantial online chatter, indicating his evolving influence not just as a scientist but as a bona fide public intellectual and live event draw. Overall, this stretch has been marked by a string of high-visibility, high-impact moments that are likely to further expand the long-term footprint of the Huberman brand, both in science and the broader public conversation. There are no significant controversies or unconfirmed personal rumors circulating; the narrative remains one of relentless professional activity, growing influence, and mainstream appeal, with every headline and hashtag amplifying his cultural and scientific stature.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with Stephen Parker, Executive Director of the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA), which represents over 1,500 venues nationwide. Together, they discuss the Federal Trade Commission's lawsuit against Live Nation and Ticketmaster, which alleges deceptive pricing practices that have enabled scalpers to exploit both artists and fans for billions of dollars.Ari and Stephen break down the logistics of the case, its potential impact on the future of ticketed events, and the incriminating evidence pointing to Live Nation and Ticketmaster's complicity. They also explore the broader issue of monopoly power in the live music industry, the push to separate the two companies, and the policy and legal strategies that could protect venues, artists, and consumers moving forward.https://www.nivassoc.org/https://www.nivassoc.org/fixthetix/model-legislation5:10 Introduction and Overview of Live Nation's Situation10:10 FTC Lawsuit Against Live Nation and Ticketmaster15:10 History of Live Nation and Ticketmaster Merger20:10 Role of NIVA and Its Advocacy Efforts25:10 Impact of Ticket Scalping and Resale Practices30:10 Discussion on Ticketing Reform and Legislative Efforts35:10 Challenges Faced by Independent Venues40:10 Artists' Perspectives on Ticketing Issues45:10 Future of Ticketing and Live Events50:10 Closing Remarks and Call to ActionEdited and mixed by Peter SchruppMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

This all came crashing down last Monday night at JFK when I boarded a Delta flight to Seattle around 5 p.m. I consider JFK to be as close to a prison camp as I care to get. The Delta terminal is vast and crowded and ugly, endless lines at Ticketing, TSA agents whose badge entitles them to freely express hostility and contempt, miles of concourses lined with souvenir shops, the smell of bad food. Naming the airport for our late lamented president did him no service.We boarded the plane and sat at the gate for a while, then pulled out and sat on the tarmac. A massive storm was moving east. The pilot came on the horn every 15 minutes to apologize for the delay and say that Air Traffic Control had no idea when, if ever, we might leave. Five became six p.m. and then almost seven when suddenly he said we were clear to go and the plane sprinted toward the runway but something changed, we were too late, and we returned to the gate canceled.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: A listener named Mike says, To what degree do you think it's appropriate to talk with your peer managers about people that have moved from their team to yours? How much weight do you give their criticisms of an IC that they used to manage that is working out just fine under your leadership? How do you know if it was mostly due to a conflict in their relationship, or if there's a nugget of truth you need to look out for? Hi, thanks for a great show. I've listened to 400 episodes in a year - thanks for making my commute fun! I've been at my current job as a software developer for a year. It's a great company overall, but we rely on a 30-year-old in-house ticket system that also doubles as a time reporting tool. It lacks many basic features, and project managers often resort to SQL and Excel just to get an overview. As you can imagine, things get forgotten and lost easily. Everyone dislikes it, but the old-timers are used to it. They want any replacement to be cheap and also handle time reporting, which really limits our options. I suggested to keep using the old system for time reporting only for now, but the reaction made me feel like I'd suggested going back to pen and paper. While the company is old and set in its ways in some areas, it has made big changes in others, so I'm not ready to give up hope just yet. How can I at least nudge the company toward adopting a more modern ticket system to improve visibility and planning? I've shown examples that save time and offer better overviews, but it hasn't made much impact. Where should I focus my efforts—or do I just have to learn to live with it? Some more context: This is in Europe and the culture at the company is generally open to feedback and discussions from anyone. I have 10+ years experience and a relatively good influence. My manager is driving change successfully to make the company more modern but I suspect he might have given up on this one.
