SAN ANTONIO – Comedian Shane Gillis broke Frost Bank Center’s record for tickets sold at a comedy show, according to a press release.

Gabriel Iglesias' 2024 show, Kevin Hart’s 2022 performance, and Adam Sandler’s 2023 show round out the rest of the rankings.

“Shane Gillis' performance brought our community together in a way that is truly fun,” said Mindy Corr, VP and General Manager at Spurs Sports & Entertainment. “Laughter has a unique ability to connect people and create lasting memories, and we are incredibly proud to have hosted this record-breaking show and provide a platform for such a unifying experience.”

This record marks the second milestone for Frost Bank Center in recent months. Country music star Zach Bryan broke the venue’s all-time paid tickets record during his concert on July 31, 2024.

Bryan surpassed the record previously set by George Strait on Nov. 2, 2002.

Frost Bank Center capped off a strong 2024 with 47 shows, including 20 sell-outs. The venue’s success follows a similarly impressive 2023 season, during which over 400,000 attendees flocked to 41 concerts and events—a 21% increase from 2022.

The record-breaking attendance figures highlight Frost Bank Center’s continued status as a premier destination for entertainment in San Antonio.
