Average Concert Goer?

Who do you think is most likely to be the average concert goer?Who is the Average Concert Goer?

  • Male or Female?
  • 18-24 or 25-34?
  • Married or Single?

The answers are often surprising and appear to run against intuition.  Most of my students would answer male, 18-24 and single.    According to Ad-ology 2012 Audience Interest and Attitudes  the consumers that have attended concerts are:

  • Women (56% of audience/ 5% more likely than the 18+ population)
  • 25-34 (32% of the audience/33% more likely than the 18+ population)
  • Married (58.9% of the audience/6% more likely than the 18+ population)

This research also covers other activities that concert goers connect with in high numbers (tailgating, playing music, skiing, attending other types of entertainment) all that provide information about the lifestyle; behavioral and psychographic, of the concert goer.

That said, these are average figures:  they don’t take into account variations in genres, or venues, or prices.  That requires digging deeper into even more research.   And is likely to reveal more unexpected information!
