Live events face mounting pressure to increase revenue and refine promotional spend, especially as market seasonality and shifting consumer preferences challenge traditional sales tactics. This case demonstrates how automated, agentic AI approaches allow ticketing and event organizations to cut through data complexity—clarifying which customer segments to prioritize and surfaces hidden opportunities for upsell and cost efficiency. In a landscape where fast, integrated insight is critical, this story exemplifies why embracing automated data storytelling and machine learning isn’t just a competitive advantage—it’s a future-proof necessity.
Scoop’s automated analysis delivered clear revenue optimization guidance and concrete, explainable business rules regarding segmentation, pricing, and promotional efficiency. The data revealed a strong seasonality effect, substantial variance in customer behavior by payment channel and geography, and previously unquantified margin leakage from discounts and fees. The most critical gains included pinpointing high-value segments, clarifying which factors most drive AOV and premium pricing, and exposing partner-driven discount inefficiencies. With Scoop, the team rapidly moved from fragmented reports to a unified, action-oriented view.
Key outcomes include:
Analyzed revenue across 519 transactions over six months, giving a robust foundation for pattern recognition and forecasting.
The average transaction masked extreme variance—ranging from small, low-margin to high-value group purchases exceeding 9,300—requiring nuanced segment strategy.

Discounts exceeded 50% of net revenue, highlighting the need for tighter calibration, especially across company affiliations and group deals.
Illinois contributed over 70% of transactions and 76% of revenue; a data-driven focus on this core and a handful of secondary states optimizes marketing ROI.
Live event organizations operate in a complex sales environment, with highly seasonal demand and a need to balance ticket, merchandise sales, and partnership arrangements. Traditional reporting surfaces high-level trends but rarely provides actionable segmentation or predictive insight at the transaction and customer level. Highly fragmented data—spread across ticketing systems, payment processors, and finance—limits the ability to optimize pricing and promotional spend. BI tools often struggle with nuances like fee attribution, discount thresholds, and causality between customer demographics, payment method adoption, and purchase behavior. Teams faced questions on how to best segment customers, which payment methods drive the highest value, and how to calibrate product bundles and discounts without leaving revenue on the table. A lack of advanced machine learning capabilities further hinders the detection of emerging patterns and dynamic optimization of offers, leaving value untapped during peak and off-peak cycles.
This engagement analyzed a comprehensive dataset comprising 519 anonymized transactions from a live event sales system captured over a six-month period. Data fields included customer demographics, transaction value, ticket and product quantity, payment method, detailed location, discounts, and associated fees. Nearly all transactions reflected completed purchases, spanning both ticket and product sales with significant variance in order value and purchase structure.

Scoop’s agentic ML surfaced drivers and patterns invisible to conventional BI:
These insights, generated instantly and explained via transparent business rules, created a diagnostic and prescriptive clarity that dashboarding alone cannot deliver—removing the guesswork from revenue, pricing, and segmentation optimization.
Drawing on these AI-driven insights, the team has begun tailoring promotional strategies to further encourage bundled, premium purchases among Visa users and Illinois-based segments. Preferred discounting practices for specific partners are under review to safeguard margin integrity, and resources will begin shifting from generic discounting to highly targeted, segment-driven offers—especially those bundles empirically linked to higher conversion value. Payment channel monitoring will be enhanced, watching for shifts that could erode average revenue per transaction or signal emerging opportunities. For future cycles, they plan to expand the use of automated agent analysis to additional events and regional launches, aiming for continuous, self-optimizing revenue strategy based on live pattern recognition and ML-driven recommendations.
