SAN ANTONIO — Country music star Zach Bryan is clearly loved in San Antonio; he just set a new concert attendance record at Frost Bank Center.
Even more impressive is whose record Bryan broke.
On July 30, Bryan held the first of his back-to-back concerts at the Frost Bank Center, where he reached third on the all-time attendance list. But he wasn't done there as San Antonians showed out the following night and helped him break the all-time attendance record for the venue with 17,353 tickets sold.
The previous record of 17,233 tickets sold stood for almost 22 years, and was set by Texas country icon George Strait at the venue's inaugural concert on Nov. 2, 2002.
“The magic created by Zach Bryan, our incredible fans and our dedicated team, culminating in a record-breaking night, was a dream come true," said Mindy Corr, vice president and GM of Spurs Sports & Entertainment, in a press release. “While the numbers are impressive, the true measure of success is in the unforgettable experiences we’ve created for our fans. None of this would have been possible without our incredible staff who worked tirelessly on back-to-back shows to deliver the ultimate experience for all attendees."
2024 has been notable year for Frost Bank Center. The venue has already hosted 25 shows, with 13 of those being sellouts, and the Spurs' home arena is on track for 50 concerts by the end of the year.
This piggybacks off a 2023 where over 400,000 people attended 41 concerts at the venue, along with a 13% rise in out-of-town ticket buyers, drawing fans from Austin, Laredo and Houston, according to the venue.
