Kishore Ramlagan

From the South Bay to the Valley, from the West Side to the East Side – we head to Los Angeles for this episode to chat with Kishore Ramlagan, the Manager, Marketing & Promotions at Hollywood Park, SoFi Stadium & YouTube Theater. Kishore takes us along for the ride through his unconventional career path – from playing soccer and being a fan to joining the industry through an internship with the LA Galaxy, to time with Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena) leading to his current role. We discuss the advent of more stadium tours and how what was once a rare concert play has turned into a more common touring strategy for artists. We discuss the demand for Taylor Swift tickets, of which their stadium is hosting five shows, and the evolution of ticket sales and how marketers adapt. Kishore shares pivotal career moments that shaped his path and challenged him as well as his advice for people entering the industry. From leveraging networking to a drive to add and build his knowledge, he has been able to parlay one opportunity to the next while continuing to challenge and prove himself. Enjoy this wonderful episode which includes some excellent career advice, some fun stories, and plenty of talk about WWE fandom.
