Do you remember what it was like attending your first live event? The chills going through your entire body as the crowd roared for kick-off, or the anticipation you felt as your favorite artist appeared on stage? It’s time to remind fans of these experiences again!
With the lack of live events over the last two years, our industry developed unique ways to bring the game day and concert atmosphere to our fans' homes. As a result, fans can enjoy a live game or concert from the comfort of their couch.
The desire to attend events is at an all-time high now that COVID restrictions are lifting and more live events are returning. According to Google, demand for concerts and music festivals is expected to grow by 57% this year, while the demand for sports events tickets is expected to grow by 30% this year.
However, while demand is at an all-time high, so are cancellation rates. Whether out of convenience or COVID-related, fans are more hesitant to attend live events again. This creates a new challenge: Getting fans off the couch and into the stands.
Connect with fans post-pandemic
Remind fans of the thrill of attending live events. Show your audience what they are missing by not being in person at your event. It’s not just a game. It’s the experience that matters.
