Episode 19: Justin Andrews (Danny Wimmer Presents)

Justin Andrews is the Director of Ticketing at Danny Wimmer Presents.

Justin’s ticketing resume is long and varied, having spent time at the Orange Bowl Committee, Live Nation, the Tampa Bay Lightning and his current role at Danny Wimmer Presents.

DWP has a typically hectic summer schedule, with some of North America’s biggest festivals such as Welcome To Rockville, Sonic Temple, Aftershock, Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life, to name just a few.

Needless to say, Justin is very well versed in the art of co-ordinating high demand on sales, which we talk about in this interview. We also talk about the challenges of changing ticketing strategy midway through an onsale, trends in sales cycles, best practices for selling early bird tickets, and the fact that at a time where many festivals are struggling, Danny Wimmer Presents are on track to have a record year, and we look at what they’re getting right.
