Description: LYV Live Nation Entertainment December 03, 2025

Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE: LYV) is a global live-entertainment conglomerate organized into three operating segments-Concerts, Ticketing, and Sponsorship & Advertising. The Concerts segment promotes and produces live music events in venues it owns, operates, or rents, managing everything from arena shows to multi-day festivals and providing artist services.

The Ticketing segment, anchored by Ticketmaster, delivers end-to-end ticket sales and resale through digital platforms (mobile apps, livenation.com, ticketmaster.com) and physical retail channels, serving arenas, stadiums, sports franchises, museums, and theaters worldwide.

The Sponsorship & Advertising segment monetizes venue and event audiences by selling brand sponsorships, on-site signage, rich-media advertising-including live-stream ad inventory-and custom branded experiences.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached $13.2 billion, with Ticketmaster contributing roughly 55 % of total sales; the company reported a 9 % year-over-year increase in average ticket price, reflecting strong demand for premium experiences; and its venue portfolio now includes over 300 owned or operated locations, giving it a strategic foothold in high-traffic markets.

Sector drivers that shape LYV’s outlook include the rebound in discretionary consumer spending on live events post-COVID, inflation-sensitive pricing pressures on ticket costs, and the ongoing shift toward digital ticketing and data-driven fan engagement, which enhance ancillary revenue streams.
