Prepare and distribute surveys and questionnaires and collect, tabulate, and analyze the data
Events catering to active participants are…
more likely to have some type of registration process in comparison to a regular-season contest attracting passive spectators. Registration is likely to be the first interactive experience the participant has with the event
Personal seat license
a contractual right a person acquires for a fee that allows the purchase tickets for specific seat
Providing meals for participants:
Many sporting events have meal functions for the participants, which may take place at the host hotel or sport venue
Concession operations
The need and sophistication of concession operations will vary based on the type of event being planned. Another important aspect of concession operations is determining whether the venue will serve alcohol. How many spectators will attend? How many points of purchase?
