BR Festivals spent $20 million on the 2013 festival. “We produced the festival for millions less — a lot less,” said Graham.

While it’s common for new music festivals to lose money the first few years, Graham said this year’s BottleRock ended up in good financial shape. While he wouldn’t provide specifics, he said, “Put it this way, the partners are very happy with the way we ended up.”

Graham said he has ideas about how to improve BottleRock in 2015. “I’m really excited about next year,” he said. “We learned a lot and we know what we can do better.”

BottleRock 2015 is already in the works, he said. While he couldn’t name dates, it will be held in the spring at the Expo, he said. Tickets are not for sale yet.

One change could include making fewer tickets available for sale. “In order to have an amazing experience you can’t have too many people,” said Graham. “We are definitely considering selling fewer tickets next year across the board so the experience for everyone is wonderful.”

Does that mean ticket prices would increase? “It all depends on the budget and what bands we bring in,” he said.
