Consumer behaviour in the event industry is a multidimensional concept that examines how individuals, groups, and organizations make decisions regarding attending, participating in, or purchasing products and services related to events. Understanding consumer behaviour in this sector is essential for event marketers and promoters, as it helps in tailoring experiences, improving customer satisfaction, and ensuring the success of events. Consumers in the event industry include attendees of concerts, sports events, exhibitions, festivals, corporate gatherings, and virtual or hybrid events.
