Paul E. Ranney has been to every Niagara County Fair since 1949, so it's only fitting that he serves as the fair's official historian. As the fair prepares to open Wednesday for its annual five-day run at the Lake Avenue fairgrounds, Ranney said he thinks that some changes being made this year will perk things up and produce additional .
This paper explores the demand for attendance at professional sporting events using a data set that includes ticket prices and a price index reflecting prices for ancillary goods associated with attendance. Previous research has focused on attendance at Major League Baseball games, but this study also includes attendance at NBA and NFL contests. The analysis largely confirms existing findings that attendance demand is price inelastic, a result that is often thought to be at odds with the monopoly status of professional sports franchises. The analysis shows that ticket pricing in the inelastic portion of the demand curve is consistent with revenue maximization by monopoly teams that also set prices for related goods and services like concessions and parking closer to the elastic portion ...
Year after year, the Zoo provides a unique and wonderful experience and great value for the community. In 2009, 'Dinosauria,' lots of new animals and our Vitamin Z advertising campaign helped drive attendance," said Executive Director Ron Kagan. "We're grateful to tri-county voters for passing the zoo millage, which has allowed us to make continued improvements to facilities and guest service. The Zoo's "Vitamin Z - Part of a Complete Childhood" advertising campaign highlights immersive experiences at the Detroit Zoo, including the Arctic Ring of Life, Australian Outback Adventure, Butterfly Garden and Giraffe Encounter.
In the post-9/11 world, managers and owners of large public venues face new challenges. Since stadiums are potential targets of terrorist attacks, sports venues may experience falling ticket sales as the public becomes more concerned about the threat of terrorism. This paper estimates the risk to business disruptions by examining how baseball fans respond to increased terror-alert levels by the U.S. Homeland Security Advisory System. Using game-day attendance for each Major League Baseball team for the period 2002-03, the results indicate that during the early days of the nation's first-ever increase in the terror-alert level (i.e., raised from yellow to orange) attendance decreased by as much as 12%. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that a team may have lost more than a half...
They are seen by many as cultivators of old-fashioned virtues: punctuality, responsibility and that all-American ideal of stick- to-itiveness. Yet Erie County's top public health doctor describes school "Perfect Attendance" awards with another name.
The paid attendance for last week's 35th girls' high school basketball State Tournament saw an increase of 13 percent over the 2010 crowds for the four-day event. Charleston Civic Center General Manager John Robertson said Tuesday that the official combined paid attendance for the eight sessions last week was 23,496. That's up from 20,811 last March.
Coming on the hooves of a record-breaking attendance at the Kentucky Derby, organizers of Baltimore's Preakness Stakes are hoping for some of the same luck -- without having to rub any horseshoes. Ticket sales for the 136th running of the Preakness, which will be Saturday at Pimlico Race Course, are up 16 percent compared with the corresponding time last year, Maryland Jockey Club President Tom Chuckas said.
