Pollstar Exclusive: Ticket and Festival Giants Announce Partnership

“(Front Gate Tickets’) ability to handle high-volume festival on-sales and complex ticketing options, while still making the online buying process intuitive and seamless for patrons, is unparalleled,” said Danny Hayes, CEO of Danny Wimmer Presents. “There is no doubt that Front Gate will be an integral part of DWP’s continued growth and enhancement of the festival experience.”

Maura Gibson, President of Front Gate Tickets, also expressed excitement about the partnership.

“Danny Wimmer Presents touches hundreds of thousands of rock & rollers in music-loving cities across the country. We couldn’t be happier about our partnership and the opportunity to continue this journey together.”

DMP produces North American rock music festivals such as Rock on the Range, Monster Energy Aftershock Festival and Louder Than Life. Most of these festivals are held in the eastern half of the country.

Front Gate Tickets, which was acquired by Ticketmaster in 2015, represents one of the largest festival ticketing platforms in North America, with services that include ticket sales, marketing, and on-site sale technology. Ticketmaster is a division of Live Nation Entertainment.
