/ The brief

Tour Ticket Campaign

22 Days

2026

An independent band booked its first Southwest headline run: six rooms on four different ticketing systems, with no prior ticket numbers from any market. The dates were set before we joined, and the first ad ran 12 days before the first show. We ran separate Meta ad sets for each city on a $3,000 budget. The goal was to sell tickets room by room and steer spend on the band's real counts.

How it worked

One venue link was losing almost every click before its pixel fired, so we rerouted that city through a tracked page on Day 4. Trackable traffic per dollar rose 36x, and that city tied for the most Meta-attributed orders.

One venue link was losing almost every click before its pixel fired, so we rerouted that city through a tracked page on Day 4. Trackable traffic per dollar rose 36x, and that city tied for the most Meta-attributed orders.

Most checkouts passed back only some orders, so we checked Meta against the band's ticket counts at each checkpoint. On Day 10, Meta showed 12 purchases while the rooms had sold 109 tickets.

We moved budget that day: three cities got more per day and one was cut in half. The plan was set to finish under the $3,000 cap so the last two shows could run to their dates.

What it built

During the campaign, the four rooms with a starting count went from 35 to 304 tickets, and the run finished at 391.

During the campaign, the four rooms with a starting count went from 35 to 304 tickets, and the run finished at 391.

Meta delivered about 12,400 landing-page views at $0.22 each through Day 19. The band's counts include one market with local radio support and one home draw, and we make no claim on how many tickets the ads drove.

Every tour we run now starts with a count from each room, a tracked page for every city, and ad access held until the final data pull.
