Toyota Arena climbs Billboard rankings as a top global venue

ONTARIO, Calif. — Toyota Arena has once again solidified its standing among the world’s premier entertainment venues, earning top marks in Billboard magazine’s mid-year rankings for venues with a capacity between 10,001 and 15,000.

According to Billboard’s latest data based on gross ticket sales, total attendance, and number of shows, Toyota Arena ranks #7 in the U.S. and #15 worldwide in gross sales, an extraordinary feat that places the Inland Empire’s premier venue in elite global company.

Even more impressively, Toyota Arena ranked:

• #5 in Total Attendance
• #5 in Number of Shows
• #2 in Gross Sales among California venues
• #1 in California for both attendance and number of shows

“These rankings underscore Toyota Arena’s role as one of the most dynamic and in-demand venues not only in California, but across the globe,” said Michael Krouse, President & CEO of Greater Ontario California (GOCAL), the region’s official destination marketing organization. “This is a testament to the strength of our local market, the outstanding management by ASM Global, and the appeal of our region as a must-visit destination for top-tier talent and fans alike.”

Located in the heart of Southern California’s Greater Ontario region, Toyota Arena is situated in one of the fastest-growing population and economic centers in the U.S. Its central location, just minutes from Ontario International Airport, makes it easily accessible to millions across the Inland Empire and Southern California.

Owned by the City of Ontario and managed by ASM Global, Toyota Arena has become a model of success among mid-sized venues, hosting a consistent lineup of concerts, family shows, sporting events, and community gatherings. It is home to both the Ontario Reign (AHL) and the Empire Strykers (MASL) and offers premium amenities including 36 luxury suites, a VIP club, and a flexible seating configuration that supports up to 11,000 attendees.

“The numbers speak volumes, but more importantly, so does the fan experience,” said Krouse. “Toyota Arena’s continued rise is a reflection of the region’s energy, hospitality, and the value of strategic public-private partnerships in delivering world-class entertainment.”
