Ocean Center Entertainment Consulting Services

Ocean Center staff reserve the right to review and approve all artists and performers to ensure alignment with our venue’s standards and audience expectations. When booking events at the Ocean Center, it is essential to consult the available calendar, which includes city-wide events such as Bike Week, Biketoberfest, Daytona 500, Coke Zero 400, Jeep Beach, Rolex 24, Welcome to Rockville, and other large-scale activities. These events can significantly impact venue availability and must be carefully considered during the booking process. Some events may provide opportunities for concerts or performances that complement the city's activities, while others will restrict booking due to scheduling conflicts or logistical challenges. Additionally, the arena has dates reserved for other contracted events, and all bookings should be coordinated with both the building-wide event schedule and other county events that may affect availability. To ensure smooth planning, please refer to the Ocean Center Calendar for 2025-2027 for the most current scheduling information. For all technical details and requirements, please refer to the Tech Pack, which includes necessary descriptions and specifications. Currently, the Ocean Center is a Ticketmaster venue and will manage all ticket sales for both Promoter-driven and Internally-driven events. The contract with Ticketmaster is up for renewal in 2026, and the OC may transition to another ticketing provider. Regardless of the ticketing platform, the Ocean Center will continue to manage all ticket sales. The deal structure is included in the Tech Pack. All contracts with artists and acts are open to negotiation based on agent requirements, including promoter bumps, ticket rebates, merchandising, backstage catering, and other relevant terms. The booking agent will work with staff to develop mutually agreed-upon terms. The Ocean Center General Manager will serve as Point of Contact.
