PickleJar to Power Ticketing for Bogalusa Blues & Heritage Festival

PickleJar Entertainment Group, Inc. (OTC Pink: PKLE) has been selected to provide ticketing services for the Bogalusa Blues & Heritage Festival, a premier blues event in the Gulf Coast region. This marks a new commercial deployment of the company's Venue Managed Services (VMS) platform, extending its live event technology footprint across Gulf Coast markets. The two-day festival is confirmed for September 25-26, 2026, in Bogalusa, Louisiana, with a full artist lineup to be announced soon. PickleJar will power ticketing through VMS, helping organizers streamline sales, improve attendee access, and capture audience data. The platform offers flexible fee structures, direct-to-consumer sales with integrated pre-event fan engagement, data capture tools for audience insights, and year-round communication tools to build loyalty. This engagement aligns with management's strategy of converting single-event contracts into multi-year platform relationships, complementing the company's nationally syndicated radio and artist-promotion businesses.

Kristian Barowsky, President and Co-Founder of PickleJar, stated, “We’re excited to partner with the Bogalusa Blues & Heritage Festival to support their continued growth. Our platform is designed to help organizers better serve their attendees through competitive ticketing, while giving them the tools to stay connected with fans year-round and build momentum for future events.” Michelle Goode, Executive Chair of the festival, added, “We are excited to partner with PickleJar to help us grow the festival and understand our patrons in greater detail, so we can serve them better as we grow bigger and better each year.” The partnership reflects PickleJar's three-pillar revenue model: syndicated radio via PickleJar Up All Night (now on over 82 affiliate stations), artist promotion and fan engagement, and live event services through VMS. Regional festivals like Bogalusa represent an underserved market for integrated ticketing solutions, and PickleJar's platform aims to serve this segment with capable tools at accessible prices while building audience-data assets.
