In the world of event marketing, maximizing ticket sales can be both exciting and challenging, especially as the digital advertising landscape grows more complex.

That’s where Quantcast’s integration with Ticketmaster comes in—a solution designed to help event marketers tap into the full potential of digital advertising. Leveraging Quantcast’s cutting-edge AI technology and Ticketmaster’s comprehensive reach, this integration offers unparalleled access to audiences on the open web, delivering impressive scale, efficiency, and real-time optimization to boost ticket sales like never before.


Why Quantcast + Ticketmaster Equals Ticket Sales Success

Quantcast’s unique approach to targeting through its Ticketmaster integration means your campaigns are set up for success from the start. By adding Quantcast’s p-code to Ticketmaster, you allow Quantcast’s algorithms to learn from Ticketmaster page activity, helping you reach ticket buyers right when they’re in the decision-making process. With this data-driven approach, campaigns can drive incredible reach and engage audiences across multiple channels like display, video, CTV, mobile, and audio—giving you full-funnel performance with measurable ROI.


Drive Ticket Sales with Conversion Events

Quantcast’s Conversion Campaign Objective combines prospecting and retargeting strategies to reach potential ticket buyers, balancing new customer acquisition with retargeting previous site visitors. With proprietary algorithms that adjust in real time, Quantcast campaigns continually refine audience targeting to optimize CPA (cost per acquisition) and ROAS (return on ad spend). To get the most out of these campaigns, make sure you’re tagging the conversion event closest to a completed ticket purchase, such as the purchase confirmation page. This ensures accurate performance tracking and helps Quantcast’s AI identify high-intent audiences.


Maximizing Reach Without Over-Targeting

While targeting can be effective, over-restricting your ad sets may limit your reach. Quantcast’s AI models are powerful enough to target audiences based on behavior and interests, so limiting your targeting to lookalikes and retargeting can yield the best results. Broadening device targeting—across mobile, desktop, and tablets—ensures you’re meeting ticket buyers wherever they are. Additionally, keeping viewability goals reasonable and site lists broad allows Quantcast’s algorithms to optimize effectively without cutting down audience size.


Audience Segmentation & Geotargeting

One of the most impactful tools in Quantcast’s arsenal is its audience and geographic segmentation capabilities. Through real-time data, Quantcast can identify users based on past behavior, like attending concerts or sports events. Whether you’re targeting concertgoers or local sports fans, this segmentation allows you to connect with audiences who are more likely to purchase tickets. For events with regional significance, geo-targeting is a powerful tool to reach potential attendees near specific venues or in cities with high fan engagement.


Creative Optimization: Capture Audience Attention

Creating dynamic, eye-catching ads is essential to standing out in the crowded event marketing space. Quantcast makes it easy to run a mix of ad formats—including video, display, and rich media—that captures attention with clear calls to action like “Buy Tickets Now” or “Limited Seats Available.” A/B testing helps identify the most effective creative assets, so you can continually optimize for higher conversion rates. For added relevance, implement dynamic creatives tailored to different locations or event dates, and use limited-time offers to drive urgency.


Strategic Budgeting and Bidding

With Quantcast, you can tailor budget allocation based on demand, prioritizing high-interest regions while scaling back in areas with lower ticket sales. As the event date approaches, ramping up bidding can capture last-minute buyers who are ready to convert. This ensures efficient spending that aligns with the event’s timeline and optimizes for sales in critical windows.


Timing & Frequency: Perfecting Your Ad Schedule

Timing is key when it comes to event promotions. Quantcast’s tools help you plan the timing of ads to maximize engagement, particularly by focusing on peak periods like evenings or weekends. To avoid overwhelming users with ads, set frequency caps to prevent ad fatigue while ensuring ads appear enough to capture attention. For a solid ramp-up, start campaigns three weeks in advance with increased ad frequency and budget allocation as the event draws closer.


Measure & Optimize with Full-Funnel Attribution

Quantcast’s robust analytics make tracking performance across the entire sales funnel easy, so you can see where campaigns are excelling and where there’s room for improvement. Key metrics like ROAS, CPA, and CPSV (cost per site visit) allow you to assess both top-line and bottom-line performance, ensuring that every ad dollar is contributing to your ticket sales goals.
