As a city, Sheffield isn't blessed with an obvious focal point. But for two weeks every year, in the run up to the May bank holiday, the World Snooker Championship takes centre stage. As Kyren Wilson closed in on a deserved victory in an improbable final, thoughts turned to how many more times the shepherdess trophy might be lifted at the Crucible Theatre. Barry Hearn has made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that sentiment will not cloud any decision on the future of The Crucible and has openly used his platform as a sales pitch to invite an offer from the highest bidder. History is vital to sport: it provides context and identity. Idiosyncrasies are what makes sport special. The Colosseum and Rome are inextricably coupled. Here's the solution: 1️⃣ 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞  Retain the Crucible as Snooker's Centre Court, doing away with the two-table setup but preserving all of the atmosphere. Work with Sheffield City Council to build or identify a neighbouring venue (there is literally another theatre next door) to instantly double the number of tickets available and create a central tournament hub for fans. 2️⃣ 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 Genuine fans will always miss out at an intimate venue. But make sure tickets are going to the people who attend by understanding your data. Nobody wants to see empty seats, which there were in every session. And yet try to buy tickets for 2025 now from Sheffield Theatres, having launched on general sale yesterday, and you'll find sparse pickings beyond the highest tier of hospitality. A failed rocket launch might be a good place to investigate untaken spaces. 3️⃣ 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬  The WST should work with directly with players to identify what would help them perform at their best and feel supported. Fund improvements by selling the prestige of association with the historic venue to Eastern sponsors and consider backstage opportunities that Formula One harnesses so well to drive digital engagement by framing the sport around personalities. It's only a game but... you better believe I'm right 🎶 #sheffield | #sportsbiz | #sportstech

Introducing...CARV - The California Action Retailer + Venture Expo, taking place June 20-22, 2025 at the San Diego Convention Center. CARV marks the return of a west coast-based expo where manufacturers can showcase the latest outdoor, adventure and sport-related products. "The West Coast is where many of the action sports brands and retailers are headquartered and, yet, for many years now the only expo available has been on the opposite side of the country. This location also improves access to retailers and brands from Hawaii and beyond," said Josh Rifkin, Co-Founder, CARV Expo. "We’re excited to launch CARV and bring an action retail show to California so it's easier for our industry to connect on a regular basis and showcase the culture and energy that has made surfing, skating, and just getting outdoors a way of life for so many of us." CARV will take place over two and half days in a casual, convenient setting that will give brands and buyers ample time to connect both on the show floor and outside the convention center. The date pattern is as important as the location, giving the opportunity for retailers to pre-book orders for all of the brands’ spring releases as well as a chance to place immediate orders. Exhibitors can expect to meet with key buyers from across the United States, representing some of the country's most well-respected and groundbreaking independent retailers as well relevant chains and large tourist attractions. Buyers can expect to see the premier names in outdoor, adventure and sport-related products. Exhibitor registration is now open: https://hubs.ly/Q02CDXdP0 #surfexpo #skateexpo #snowexpo #bikeexpo

Great to see OARO continue to lead and pioneer the live events industry. Whether it be scalping, fraudulent tickets or illicit reselling, the legacy ticketing system has its fair share of issues. This is hardly surprising from an industry that has scarcely innovated beyond digital barcodes over the past decade. Example of the UEFA Champions League Final in Paris, with claims of fraudulent tickets causing massive delays and bottlenecks at security checkpoints – resulting in clashes between fans and authorities. The event has since put a spotlight on conventional ticketing issues, with many pushing for digitisation, with blockchain-powered NFT ticketing touted as the solution. The NFT tickets contain an unfalsifiable and unique QR code that can be used to gain access to the event – keeping out unauthorized individuals and streamlining the experience for legitimate customers. A significant step forward.
