Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV) reported financial results at the beginning of the month, illustrating strong ticket sales in the first half of the year.

The company's Ticketmaster app isn't showing any signs of a slowdown. 

Why It Matters: The 2022 NFL preseason kicked off on Aug. 4, which appears to have contributed to the increased mobile app usage. 

Ticket sales have been extremely strong in 2022. During the company's most recent earnings report, Live Nation reported its highest quarterly attendance ever with more than 33 million fans across 12,500 events. 

Live Nation said it had already sold 100 million tickets for 2022 concerts, which already exceeded the company's full-year 2019 fan count. 

"Momentum across our business has remained strong in recent months and weeks, and demand combined with a substantial concert pipeline gives us confidence in our ongoing growth this year and into 2023," the company said in connection with its earnings release. 

The NFL regular season is set to begin on Sept. 8 and will be followed closely by the NBA season, which tips off in the middle of October. 

Live Nation's Ticketmaster app is currently ranked ahead of other popular apps in the entertainment sector including Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:SPOT) and Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX).
