Case Study: Live Nation achieves seamless peak-demand ticketing and payments with Provectus on AWS

Live Nation runs billions in ticket transactions with Provectus

Live Nation, the world's leading live entertainment company, faced the challenge of modernizing its critical ticketing and payments infrastructure to handle extreme, unpredictable demand spikes during major on-sales. Their platform needed to scale dynamically, maintain strict PCI and GDPR compliance, and integrate new fan features without disrupting service, while their sponsorship division struggled with a fragmented and slow multi-vendor payments stack.

Provectus migrated Live Nation's ticketing platform to AWS and built a Kubernetes-based infrastructure running hundreds of microservices to manage checkout, caching, and compliance. They also consolidated sponsorship payments onto a single Braintree integration. This solution allows the platform to smoothly run billions of dollars in annual ticket transactions during peak on-sales, enables faster rollout of new payment methods and international markets, and has operated Live Nation's most critical systems for over ten years.
