1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,320
Sean Murray: All right two more
things I want to talk about

2
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,870
before before the end of the
show. The first one, I wasn't

3
00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:06,150
going to talk about this before,
but I was literally doing some

4
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:10,230
math before I came in here.
Because I was curious. There was

5
00:00:10,230 --> 00:00:13,170
a thread on Daily Funder about
Broker Fair, people were curious

6
00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:16,110
about the attendance. And you
know, what, what it would be

7
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:20,400
like this year, given COVID, and
vaccination requirements and so

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,580
forth. And so I checked the
stats of where we're at this

9
00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:28,350
year versus prior times compared
against Broker Fair 2019. So I

10
00:00:28,350 --> 00:00:31,680
looked at where we were Broker
Fair 2019, 60, 60 days out

11
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:36,150
ticket sales, versus 60, 60 days
out in ticket sales for Broker

12
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:39,240
Fair. 2021. Right. That's a good
measure. Yeah. Like two months

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,000
out from the event, where were
we last time? And where are we

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,330
now? Than you might think, well,
you know, it's a COVID year,

15
00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:48,030
it's a different time of year,
it's December, people will

16
00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:50,580
probably understand if we're
down. Right. And if that's the

17
00:00:50,580 --> 00:00:53,250
facts, that's the that's the
facts. I you know, I wouldn't

18
00:00:53,250 --> 00:00:56,490
lie about it. But I you know I
wanted to see because we are

19
00:00:56,490 --> 00:00:59,610
checking it, but I felt it was
time to give another look. And

20
00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:03,360
we're on pace with where we were
in 2019. Two months out from the

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,940
event, we've sold just about the
same amount of tickets, it might

22
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:07,770
even be a little bit more, but
you know what I mean? But I

23
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:11,160
mean, statistically, it's about
the same, right? So two months

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,460
out from the event, ticket sales
are this are essentially the

25
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:17,280
same as where they were for
Broker Fair 2019. The

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,190
difference, in case anyone is
wondering if this event will

27
00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:23,790
sell out, is that in 2019, or
venue can only hold so many

28
00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:27,720
people, so that event sold out
like a month before. Yeah. When

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,320
ticket interest grew, like
significantly, because there was

30
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:35,460
so much buzz that we had to tell
50, 60 plus people, they

31
00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:37,800
couldn't come we put them on a
waiting list, right? We could of

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,170
sold a lot more tickets, but we
were we were restricted from how

33
00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:43,710
many we could sell this time
around, we have a lot bigger

34
00:01:43,710 --> 00:01:47,670
venue. So we can sell all the
way, presumably, up until the

35
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:51,630
day of the event, which means
that we might not sell the event

36
00:01:51,660 --> 00:01:55,770
out because we have so much more
room. But we could sell more

37
00:01:55,770 --> 00:02:00,330
tickets and have more people
than we had in 2019. Right? I

38
00:02:00,330 --> 00:02:02,250
don't know where I don't know
what the final result is gonna

39
00:02:02,250 --> 00:02:06,510
be. But I would say I'm pretty
optimistic in what the data

40
00:02:06,510 --> 00:02:09,930
shows at this given you know,
this point in time. And so if

41
00:02:09,930 --> 00:02:11,730
you're out there wondering, you
know, how many people are

42
00:02:11,730 --> 00:02:14,310
actually coming, or how many
people bought a ticket? I can't

43
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:16,860
tell you how many people will
come. But in terms of how many

44
00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:19,770
people have bought a ticket,
we're on pace with where we were

45
00:02:19,770 --> 00:02:23,280
for Broker Fair 2019. And
because we have more room,

46
00:02:23,490 --> 00:02:27,030
theoretically, we could have
more people at this event than

47
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:29,850
we've ever had at any Broker
Fair ever. I say potentially,

48
00:02:30,090 --> 00:02:32,340
because, you know, we never you
never know what's going to

49
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:34,710
happen. The event itself is
going to happen. Yeah. Right.

50
00:02:34,740 --> 00:02:37,290
And there are requirements like
you have to be vaccinated. But

51
00:02:37,290 --> 00:02:40,830
in terms of how we feel and
where that where it's asked

52
00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:43,290
numerically, we're feeling
pretty good. I'm feeling pretty

53
00:02:43,290 --> 00:02:45,270
good about about the data. Yeah.
