Greek Theatre Receives 'Best Small Outdoor Venue' Pollstar Award
2/15/2018
The Greek Theatre was honored this week at the annual Pollstar Conference in Los Angeles, by being named recipient of the 2017 Red Rocks Award/ Best Small Outdoor Venue. The iconic LA, outdoor venue, owned by the City of LA, and overseen by the Department of Recreation and Parks is managed by SMG. SMG, the world’s largest facility management company, was chosen in 2015 to manage the facility and completed a major transition in 2016 from an exclusive operator model to an open venue system. This change opened the doors to a diverse array of talent, promoters and entertainment legends. In 2017, the Greek Theatre hosted a record number of events between the months of April – October with a total attendance of 338,000. Under the open venue model, the City of Los Angeles reaped a record $5.5 million in net revenue from rent and services, parking, food and beverage sales, premium seating, and sponsorships, which helped to fund over $1.5 million in capital improvements for the venue. “2017 was an Incredible year for the Greek Theatre with well over 300,000 visitors. Receiving the Pollstar award was thrilling for our management team after the consistent hard work dedicated to this beloved venue. The Greek Management and Food and Beverage Team worked diligently at preparing the venue and event calendar for the 2017 season. Partners Goldenvoice, Live Nation and Nederlander Concerts put together another jam-packed season of entertainment featuring over 70 concerts to include John Legend, Logic, Buckingham McVie, Sam Hunt, Pete Townshend, Haim and Harry Styles. We look forward to again working with our partners, hosting artists and entertaining music fans in the summer of 2018!”said Becky Colwell, SMG Greek Theatre General Manager. About The Greek Theatre The Greek Theatre is a 5,901-seat music venue located in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California. It was built in 1929, opening on September 29 of that year. Designed by architect Samuel Tilden Norton, the theatre stage is modeled after a Greek temple. The Greek Theatre is owned by the City of Los Angeles, Department of Recreation and Parks, and is operated by SMG World. The venue is among the City’s most cherished public sites. The historic Greek Theatre stands as one of the nation’s most beloved and recognized outdoor entertainment venues.
