Why Businesses Are Rethinking Client Entertainment 

In a city filled with networking events, happy hours, and traditional client outings, many business owners are looking for more meaningful ways to build relationships and show appreciation to both clients and employees. 

Live music has become an increasingly popular option, offering a more memorable and personal alternative to conventional entertainment experiences. Across Chicagoland, business professionals are using concerts and premium seating experiences to connect with clients, reward employees, and create lasting impressions outside of the office. 

Turning Concerts Into Connection Opportunities 

John Cosgrove, Vice President of Cosgrove Construction Inc. shares how premium season tickets have become a valuable asset for his business and personal life: 

“As a business owner, I’m always looking for meaningful ways to strengthen relationships, both professionally and personally. My season tickets at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre have become one of the most valuable tools I have. 

From a business standpoint, it’s an easy win. I use it to bring clients and employees out to shows, and it stands out from the typical outings like baseball games or other sporting events. It creates a more unique, relaxed environment that people genuinely get excited about. It’s helped me build stronger connections, show appreciation, and grow my business in a way that feels authentic.” 

For Cosgrove, the value of premium season tickets extends well beyond business development. 

On the personal side, it’s just as impactful. With young kids, having a place where we can consistently enjoy live music together has been incredible. The VIP experience makes it easy, comfortable, and something we all look forward to every summer. 

It’s rare to find something that delivers on both the professional and personal side, but this truly does. For any business owner in the Chicagoland area, I can’t recommend it enough.”
