FYI

The Everett Events Center is ranked No. 2 in the world in the July issue of “Venues Today,” an entertainment venue industry publication. Radio City Music Hall in New York, which seats 5,901 people, was first.

The magazine ranked venues with a capacity of 5,001 to 10,000 on total gross ticket sales between Nov. 15 and May 15. It also highlighted other numbers such as attendance and number of shows. The Everett center was second in attendance and third in number of shows among venues of comparable size.

The center, with a seating capacity of 10,000, pulled in roughly $3.3 million in ticket sales in 26 shows during that six-month period and had a total attendance of 81,453. The $71.5 million center opened in August.
