LOS ANGELES, February 27, 2025 -- AXS, a global leader in ticketing and SJC Cultural Events, Inc. announced an exclusive ticketing agreement for Florida’s The St. Augustine Amphitheatre and Ponte Vedra Concert Hall.
The 16-acre outdoor St. Augustine Amphitheatre was built in 1965 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest permanent European settlement. With a capacity of just under 5,000 people and approximately 75 events per year, The St. Augustine Amphitheatre plays host to major artists. In 2022 and 2023, Pollstar Magazine ranked St. Augustine as the top amphitheater in the US based on ticket sales during the first half of each year.
The 1,100 capacity Ponte Vedra Concert Hall is currently undergoing a substantial renovation that includes the addition of a second-floor balcony with seating and two outdoor terraces, along with stadium-style seating on the first floor to accommodate more flexible seated and standing configurations for the 100+ shows held annually.
“The St. Augustine Amphitheatre and Ponte Vedra Concert Hall are incredibly special and historic venues, and we are proud to be working with them,” said Tom Andrus, President of North America, AXS. “AXS’s flexible platform, experience with boutique venues and premium seating programs will be a great benefit to both the buildings and fans.”
“At the end of the day, it’s all about the experience. If there’s a way to make it even better—so our patrons can focus on enjoying the music and artists they love, which is what really matters—we’re all about it,” explained Elizabeth Glasgow, Chief Administrative Officer, SJC Cultural Events, Inc. “Partnering with AXS is a step in that direction, and we’re looking forward to seeing what we can do together.”
