Venue Managed Services (VMS) Deployment Extends the Company’s Live Event Technology Footprint Across Gulf Coast Markets

Two-Day Festival Confirmed for September 25-26, 2026

HOUSTON, TX and BOGALUSA, LA - June 24, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - PickleJar Entertainment Group, Inc. (OTC Pink: PKLE) (“PickleJar” or the “Company”), a music and entertainment technology company, today announced that it has been selected to provide ticketing services for the Bogalusa Blues & Heritage Festival, a leading blues festival in the Gulf Coast region. The engagement is a new commercial deployment of the Company’s Venue Managed Services (VMS) platform and adds to PickleJar’s growing presence in live event technology.

Held annually in Bogalusa, Louisiana, the Bogalusa Blues & Heritage Festival has built a regional reputation as a cornerstone destination for blues music in the Gulf South. The 2026 festival is scheduled for September 25 and 26, with a full artist lineup to be announced in the coming weeks.

A New Channel in PickleJar’s Live Event Strategy

PickleJar will power ticketing for the Bogalusa Blues & Heritage Festival through its Venue Managed Services platform, helping festival organizers streamline ticket sales, improve attendee access, and capture audience data. The deployment reflects PickleJar’s strategy of building single-event engagements into longer-term platform relationships through its integrated suite of venue and fan-engagement tools.

Through the PickleJar platform, the festival will have access to:

• Flexible ticketing fee structures designed to support organizer margins
• Direct-to-consumer ticket sales with integrated pre-event fan engagement
• Data capture tools that provide audience insights for future marketing and retention
• Year-round attendee communication tools to build loyalty and lower audience-acquisition costs for future events

This engagement is consistent with management’s stated strategy of deploying VMS technology across regional festival markets - with the goal of converting single-event engagements into multi-year platform relationships alongside the Company’s nationally syndicated radio and artist-promotion businesses.
