What is a
Ticket Sales Dashboard
? Ticket Sales Dashboards are considered revenue analysis tools and are used by sales executives and ticket managers to have clear insight into all key aspects of ticket sales revenues. Some of the main functionality in this type of report is that it uses six charts to present key metrics and below the charts it displays tables with related figures. The graphical analysis include: 1) Top 5 vendors based on ticket sales, 2) Top 5 ticket types based on sales, 3) Top 5 games based on ticket sales, 4) Ticket revenue ranked by vendor, 5) Revenue by ticket type, and 6) Revenue by game type. You find an example of this type of report below.
Purpose of

When used as part of good business practices in FP&A and Ticket departments, an organization can improve its ticket sales strategies and it can reduce the chances that revenues become sub-optimized due to lack of informed management decisions.
