VENU's Ford Amphitheater Reports Exceptional Premium Seating Performance Across Back-to-Back Shows

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Venu Holding Corporation ("VENU" or the "Company") (NYSE American: VENU), owner, operator, and developer of premium live entertainment destinations, today announced that its flagship Ford Amphitheater reported strong premium seating demand, with both performances reaching sellout or near-sellout of available inventory, across two recent performances, Alex Warren on June 3, 2026 and Yo-Yo Ma with the Colorado Symphony, with Peter Oundjian, Music Director, on June 5, 2026. The back-to-back results underscore the strength of consumer demand for VENU's unique, premium live entertainment model and the growing market position of the award-winning Ford Amphitheater as one of Colorado's premier entertainment destinations.

"This overwhelming demand is a direct reflection of what we have built at Ford Amphitheater," said JW Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU®. "When you put the fan experience first and deliver a truly elevated product, the demand follows. That is the model and it is working- there is a great season ahead."

The premium inventory at Ford Amphitheater includes the venue's signature Luxe FireSuites® and Owners Clubs, offering in suite service, and an elevated hospitality experience unlike anything else in the market. The consistent sellout performance of these offerings demonstrates the commercial viability of VENU's premium seating strategy and its contribution to the Company's diversified revenue model.

Ford Amphitheater has hit the ground running in the 2026 season, with standout performances from John Mulaney and Turnpike Troubadours setting the tone for an exceptional year ahead. The 2026 season features an impressive lineup of world-class artists and events including O.A.R., AJR, Dierks Bentley, a Star Spangled celebration, Disney’s Frozen in Concert with the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, The Black Crowes, Sublime, Lindsey Stirling, Alison Krauss and Union Station, Lauren Daigle, Danny Elfman’s Music from the Films of Tim Burton, Ty Myers, Brantley Gilbert, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and for King and Country. Additional performances are expected to be announced as the 2026 season continues to take shape.
