One artist set new Legacy Arena ticket sales record for a female artist
BJCC's Legacy Arena ranks among the top-grossing arenas worldwide this year, according to Pollstar mid-year rankings. More than 1.4 million people attended 466 events, conventions and concerts at the Birmingham Jefferson Jefferson Convention Complex in 2024, as the city’s top venues continue to rebound from the COVID pandemic.
“It was a year full of great signature events,” said Tad Snider, the CEO of the BJCC on Wednesday following the board’s monthly meeting. “We had a couple of events with same-day sellouts, and Zack Bryan sold out two shows back-to-back. Team that with $2.4 million in gross revenue at the stadium, including a great Birmingham Bowl game with Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, and by all of our measures, pre-COVID and since, 2024 broke all those metrics.
Based on current bookings in 2025 and 2026, Snider says the complex sees the convention and meeting segment “coming back” to pre-pandemic levels.The renovated Arena Club at Legacy, where event attendees pay for a “premium” pre-event experience including food and libations, is selling at 70-100% of its 250-person capacity, officials reported at today’s board meeting.
Snider said the BJCC got feedback from the Birmingham Bowl and the 2023 NCAA men’s basketball tournament to improve the fan experience outside the venues.
