Ads
Smarter ads, built for live events.
Everything you need to reach the right fans, spend smarter, and sell more tickets — all measured against your box office. Cymbal Ads is available on the Premium plan.
Overview
Why Cymbal ads?
Most ad tools treat live events like any other ecommerce funnel. Cymbal launches smarter ads faster — using your ticketing data and music-specific signals to find real fans, not vague interest audiences.
Better targeting
Audiences built automatically from your ticketing data and integrations with providers like Spotify.
Automated carousel ads
Spin up multi-show carousels in one click — no manual creative wrangling for every event on the calendar.
Launch without leaving Cymbal
Build, launch, and track Meta ads from the same place you send your emails and texts.
