Streamers Likely Benefit From Rising Cost Of Sports Attendance
}
The rising cost of tickets to attend sporting events “likely contributes” to more time spent watching sports on TV, according to researcher CivicScience. Almost two-thirds (62%) of regular sports event attendees say they avoided buying tickets in the past six months because of price hikes, matching last year’s number and up from 54% in 2022.
Overpriced concessions also are a turnoff, with about a third of respondents saying the price of concessions affects their decision to buy game tickets a lot. Another 27% of respondents say the concessions have at least a little effect on their plans.
