The SMG-managed INTRUST Bank Arena finished as the 39th busiest arena in the United States and 81st in the world in Pollstar Magazine’s 2018 Third Quarter Top 200 Arena Venues Rankings. Rankings are based on tickets sold worldwide for shows played between 1/1/18 and 9/30/18. INTRUST Bank Arena was also the fourth highest ranked arena in the continental United States managed by SMG, the Philadelphia-based venue operator that manages more than 230 facilities, nearly 70 arenas and over 1.75 million seats worldwide. The totals do not include tenant sport team ticket counts, some family shows, or SMG-produced special events. Pollstar is a weekly trade publication covering the worldwide concert industry.
