Executive Summary
2© 2014 Live Nation Entertainment

An online survey was conducted among North American (US & Canada) Ticketmaster ticket purchasers in order to understand
their mobile and viewing technology behavior. This is the third annual iteration of a survey originally deployed in December
2011. 2013 statistics are provided in colored type and 2012 statistics are provided in black type in parentheses.
Additional questions were added to the 2013 survey that were not asked in the 2012 survey. Questions that were only asked at
one time point are noted.
Attendees to music concerts, professional and college sporting events, live theater or arts events, and live family shows were
surveyed. Survey invitations were sent to 200K US ticket purchasers – 50K per each event category.
2013 data was collected from January 11th to March 31st, 2014.
For calculating overall live event statistics, the collected data was weighted to represent the actual purchaser distribution for
each event type category in the country.
