🎟️ Meet the GAPTA Board: Vice President Rebecca Simmons 🎟️

Next up in our Getting to Know You series is Rebecca Simmons, Regional Ticketing Director at Live Nation and longtime Box Office Manager at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre.

With 21 years in ticketing, Rebecca has done almost everything—starting at a racetrack and ballpark (including a few tarp-pulling intern shifts!) before making stops at Ticketmaster, an NHL arena, performing arts venues, and eventually the concert world.

One of her favorite parts of the job? The people watching. From black band tees and cowboy hats to duck onesies and chains, Rebecca says every event brings something new—and unforgettable.

Rebecca first got involved with GAPTA in 2008 while new to the Atlanta market, building connections with fellow box office managers who even helped support early major shows at Ameris, including the Eagles.

She credits her success to having a sense of humor about it all, and having both a supportive family and an employer that encourages work/life balance—things everyone in live events knows is invaluable.
