VENU's Luxe FireSuites at Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, Colorado

“Over the years, as an entrepreneur, businessman and a seasoned family office investor, I’ve learned to pay close attention to opportunity. Because of this, I have decided to personally purchase $5 million of our Luxe FireSuites through my family office. VENU’s Luxe FireSuites create an incredibly lucrative income opportunity for their owners and the demand when we open a new market is always very strong. Over the course of the next year, I intend to increase my investment to $20 million in additional Luxe FireSuites,” said J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer at VENU.

The Legacy Investment Changing Live Entertainment

VENU’s Luxe FireSuites continue to drive unprecedented demand, with the Company reporting a 250% year-over-year increase in sales, reaching $77.7 million in 2024, up from $22.2 million in 2023, as noted in its 2024 annual results.

FireSuites are VENU’s premier legacy ownership opportunity, available at all company-owned amphitheaters. Each suite accommodates 4 to 10 guests, depending on the investment level, and offers a compelling combination of long-term financial return and exclusive access to unforgettable live entertainment experiences.

With limited suite availability at each venue, FireSuites have become one of the most sought-after offerings in the VENU portfolio—once they’re gone, they’re gone.

To meet the growing demand, VENU offers multiple paths to ownership, including all-cash investments, structured financing, and triple-net (NNN) real estate options. Providing flexibility for a wide range of investor profiles.

Momentum-Driven Growth

With the live entertainment industry surging, VENU is setting the pace for the next era of venues, and fan experience. With successful entertainment campuses already operating in Gainesville, GA and Colorado Springs, CO, and active expansion underway in Centennial, CO (Denver market), Broken Arrow, OK (Tulsa market), El Paso, TX, and McKinney, TX (Dallas market), VENU is strategically scaling to meet growing demand for premium live entertainment experiences.
