Carvana PPA Tour ticket sales, attendance hit new highs

There’s no denying the popularity of the Carvana PPA Tour. The numbers tell the tale.

It was announced on Tuesday that gross ticket revenue for the first seven tournaments of the 2025 season has topped $1.7 million.

That represents a 29% increase over 2024 and a 147% increase over 2023.

“The first events of the 2025 Carvana PPA Tour have been absolutely electric - we’re breaking records at nearly every event and showcasing the best players in the world to more fans than ever before,” said Connor Pardoe, Founder and CEO of the PPA Tour. “We’re looking forward to our next event, the Veolia Atlanta Pickleball Championships in May, and are incredibly excited to see what the rest of the year brings.”

Attendance stands at 104,011 thus far this year, up 16% over 2024.

And 2025 has already featured the top 3 highest-grossing events in tour history - the Carvana Mesa Cup, the Veolia North Carolina Open and the Veolia Cape Coral Open.
