GEDDES, N.Y. — Ticket sales for the first season at the Lakeview Amphitheater exceeded 200,000, Onondaga County announced in a news release.
The county was citing numbers from Live Nation Entertainment Inc. — the concert promoter for the $50 million venue located on the shore of Onondaga Lake.
When asked by BJNN how much revenue the ticket sales generated during the first season of 22 shows, Martin Skahen, chief of staff for Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney, said in an email that he didn’t have that information.
