It took 10 minutes Saturday to effectively sell out Pink’s Nov. 9 concert at the Pinnacle Bank Arena.
“By 10:10, we were down to singles,” SMG/Pinnacle General Manager Tom Lorenz said. “There are a couple hundred singles left in the system, but there are no pairs together and there are a few VIP packages left. But it’s sold out. It’s done.”
The quick sellout didn’t come as a surprise. Lincoln was second nationally behind New York’s Madison Square Garden in pre-sales for Pink's tour, an indicator of the strong interest in the first show to go on sale for the new Haymarket arena.
“We had strong pre-sale, so I knew it would go quick,” Lorenz said. “The Ticketmaster system allows us to sell a lot of tickets in a short period of time."
About 14,000 tickets will be sold for the Pink concert when it “goes clean.” Numbers-wise, that’s as big as Pinnacle shows are likely to get.
“Unless they do a center stage, where we can sell 360 degrees, this is about it,” Lorenz said. “This one is sold 270 degrees. Production takes up some space that might be available for other shows, but this is about as big as it’s going to get.”
The next Pinnacle show will be announced and go on sale in mid-April. The third already scheduled show will be announced and go on sale in May. There are more bookings in the works, including shows for October, Lorenz said.
Those tickets are also likely to go fast. The days of walking up to the arena box office and getting a ticket on the day of a concert are likely over in Lincoln.
“Not any more,” Lorenz said. “With the kind of show we’re getting and the high interest across the community, the shows are going to sell quickly.”
The quick Pink sellout also will help bring more concerts to the new arena set to open for events in September.
“It’s a good thing for the arena and helps put Lincoln on the map as far as (shows) looking at other buildings,” Lorenz said. “This thing sold so well and so strongly, we’re going to get a lot of calls. We’re on the map now for promoters. Now the trick is to keep things spaced between shows and make sure we don’t overwhelm the market.”
