00:00.000 --> 00:01.320
Sean Murray: All right two more
things I want to talk about

00:01.320 --> 00:03.870
before before the end of the
show. The first one, I wasn't

00:03.870 --> 00:06.150
going to talk about this before,
but I was literally doing some

00:06.150 --> 00:10.230
math before I came in here.
Because I was curious. There was

00:10.230 --> 00:13.170
a thread on Daily Funder about
Broker Fair, people were curious

00:13.170 --> 00:16.110
about the attendance. And you
know, what, what it would be

00:16.110 --> 00:20.400
like this year, given COVID, and
vaccination requirements and so

00:20.400 --> 00:23.580
forth. And so I checked the
stats of where we're at this

00:23.580 --> 00:28.350
year versus prior times compared
against Broker Fair 2019. So I

00:28.350 --> 00:31.680
looked at where we were Broker
Fair 2019, 60, 60 days out

00:31.740 --> 00:36.150
ticket sales, versus 60, 60 days
out in ticket sales for Broker

00:36.150 --> 00:39.240
Fair. 2021. Right. That's a good
measure. Yeah. Like two months

00:39.240 --> 00:42.000
out from the event, where were
we last time? And where are we

00:42.000 --> 00:45.330
now? Than you might think, well,
you know, it's a COVID year,

00:45.330 --> 00:48.030
it's a different time of year,
it's December, people will

00:48.030 --> 00:50.580
probably understand if we're
down. Right. And if that's the

00:50.580 --> 00:53.250
facts, that's the that's the
facts. I you know, I wouldn't

00:53.250 --> 00:56.490
lie about it. But I you know I
wanted to see because we are

00:56.490 --> 00:59.610
checking it, but I felt it was
time to give another look. And

00:59.610 --> 01:03.360
we're on pace with where we were
in 2019. Two months out from the

01:03.360 --> 01:05.940
event, we've sold just about the
same amount of tickets, it might

01:05.940 --> 01:07.770
even be a little bit more, but
you know what I mean? But I

01:07.770 --> 01:11.160
mean, statistically, it's about
the same, right? So two months

01:11.160 --> 01:14.460
out from the event, ticket sales
are this are essentially the

01:14.460 --> 01:17.280
same as where they were for
Broker Fair 2019. The

01:17.280 --> 01:20.190
difference, in case anyone is
wondering if this event will

01:20.190 --> 01:23.790
sell out, is that in 2019, or
venue can only hold so many

01:23.790 --> 01:27.720
people, so that event sold out
like a month before. Yeah. When

01:27.840 --> 01:31.320
ticket interest grew, like
significantly, because there was

01:31.320 --> 01:35.460
so much buzz that we had to tell
50, 60 plus people, they

01:35.460 --> 01:37.800
couldn't come we put them on a
waiting list, right? We could of

01:37.800 --> 01:40.170
sold a lot more tickets, but we
were we were restricted from how

01:40.170 --> 01:43.710
many we could sell this time
around, we have a lot bigger

01:43.710 --> 01:47.670
venue. So we can sell all the
way, presumably, up until the

01:47.670 --> 01:51.630
day of the event, which means
that we might not sell the event

01:51.660 --> 01:55.770
out because we have so much more
room. But we could sell more

01:55.770 --> 02:00.330
tickets and have more people
than we had in 2019. Right? I

02:00.330 --> 02:02.250
don't know where I don't know
what the final result is gonna

02:02.250 --> 02:06.510
be. But I would say I'm pretty
optimistic in what the data

02:06.510 --> 02:09.930
shows at this given you know,
this point in time. And so if

02:09.930 --> 02:11.730
you're out there wondering, you
know, how many people are

02:11.730 --> 02:14.310
actually coming, or how many
people bought a ticket? I can't

02:14.310 --> 02:16.860
tell you how many people will
come. But in terms of how many

02:16.860 --> 02:19.770
people have bought a ticket,
we're on pace with where we were

02:19.770 --> 02:23.280
for Broker Fair 2019. And
because we have more room,

02:23.490 --> 02:27.030
theoretically, we could have
more people at this event than

02:27.030 --> 02:29.850
we've ever had at any Broker
Fair ever. I say potentially,

02:30.090 --> 02:32.340
because, you know, we never you
never know what's going to

02:32.340 --> 02:34.710
happen. The event itself is
going to happen. Yeah. Right.

02:34.740 --> 02:37.290
And there are requirements like
you have to be vaccinated. But

02:37.290 --> 02:40.830
in terms of how we feel and
where that where it's asked

02:41.220 --> 02:43.290
numerically, we're feeling
pretty good. I'm feeling pretty

02:43.290 --> 02:45.270
good about about the data. Yeah.
