Associated Banc-Corp, ASB
The partnership extension runs from 2026 through 2031 and covers six Milwaukee venues. Those venues include Pabst Theater, Riverside Theater, Turner Hall Ballroom, Vivarium and The Fitzgerald. Two of those venues, Vivarium and The Fitzgerald, are new additions under the latest ASB agreement.
Associated Bank retains its title as the official bank of the Pabst Theater Group. The bank has long positioned itself as a core supporter of Milwaukee’s cultural and entertainment economy. This renewed deal reinforces ASB’s strategy of aligning with iconic local institutions.
New Perks and VIP Benefits for Associated Bank Cardholders
Associated Bank cardholders gain a new 10% bar discount when presenting a debit card at participating venues. The perk adds to an already strong lineup of benefits available to ASB customers. Customers also receive a 10% merchandise discount on in-person purchases, excluding artist merchandise.
Additional benefits include free coat check services at Pabst and Riverside Theaters. Cardholders who opt in as eMembers receive pre-sale access and exclusive ticket offers. ASB also offers surprise seat upgrades to its premium Green Row Seats at select shows.
The Associated Bank VIP Green Row Seats sit in the front row of center balcony sections. The seats feature the Associated Bank and Pabst Theater Group branding in signature green. These seats represent the top concert experience across both the Pabst and Riverside Theaters.
Shared Wisconsin Roots Anchor the Long-Term ASB Partnership
Associated Bank and the Pabst Theater Group both trace their roots to Wisconsin. That shared identity drives the spirit behind the renewed ASB partnership. Pabst Theater Group CEO Gary Witt described the collaboration as two born-in-Wisconsin brands with a shared vision.
Associated Bank Executive Vice President Bryan Carson stated that the bank’s funds should strengthen the communities it serves. He confirmed that supporting organizations creating lasting cultural impact aligns directly with ASB’s core mission. The 10% bar and merchandise discounts reflect that commitment to passing value back to cardholders.
ASB holds its position as Wisconsin’s fastest-growing bank and a major lender in the Milwaukee metro area. The Pabst Theater Group remains Wisconsin’s top independent music promoter. Together, both organizations continue to shape the entertainment and financial identity of downtown Milwaukee.
