Pollstar, the concert industry’s leading trade publication, ranked Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse No. 12 in its list of the top 100 arena venues worldwide for entertainment ticket sales in its first quarter (Q1) analysis report for 2022. The ranking is the highest in venue history and jumps Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse 15 positions from the 2021 year-end report, which ranked the venue No. 27 in the world.

 

The Q1 report covers the global concert business (and does not include ticket sales from the venue’s sporting events) from mid-November 2021 through mid-February 2022. During this time, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse hosted seven touring acts that also made Pollstar’s Q1 Top 100 Worldwide Tours measured by gross revenue – Genesis, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Sebastian Maniscalco, Andrea Bocelli, Kacey Musgraves, Bert Kreischer and Kane Brown, as well as Disney on Ice, the Harlem Globetrotters and the sold-out final stop of Machine Gun Kelly’s “Tickets to My Downfall” tour.

 

“To see such a strong comeback after a two year pandemic that shut down the industry is a testament to the strength of the Cleveland market and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse as a major tour destination,” said Len Komoroski, CEO Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. “It’s a great indication of what is yet to come as more and more tours hit the road.”

 

Following the bustling three month span, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse rounded out February with NBA All-Star Weekend 2022 and JoJo Siwa, then rolled right into an action-packed March – the FieldHouse’s busiest month since its $185 million Transformation in 2019. With 35 events in 31 days, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse hosted 10 Cavaliers games, seven Cleveland Monsters games, the 2022 MAC basketball tournament, New Edition, WWE Monday Night RAW, Eagles, TOOL and the 2022 Greater Cleveland Sports Awards.
