The BOK Center moved up to fifth place for ticket sales in the United States for the third quarter/year-to-date reporting period, according to Pollstar, a leading industry publication.
The downtown venue also moved up to 14th in the world for sales. At the mid-year report, the BOK Center was 9th in the U.S. and 23rd in the world.
“I continue to be amazed,” said Jerry Goldman, assistant general manager. “I know we sound like a broken record, but the credit needs to go to the citizens of Tulsa and surrounding communities … all the ticket buyers. They are ones who support this facility time and time again. It is because of them, we will continue to get great shows.”
