What is Sold Out Event?

Definition

An event where all available tickets have been purchased and no more tickets are available for sale. Sold out status can be for the entire event or specific ticket tiers, dates, or sessions within a multi-day event.

Why it matters

Selling out creates urgency for future events, validates demand, and can increase resale value on secondary markets. Sold out events also eliminate last-minute capacity concerns.
