A Study to Examine Differences in Sporting Event Direct Spending Survey Methods
Journal Title: Choregia - Year 2013, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
This study examined differences between direct spending reported through in person surveys administered during a sporting event and online surveys administered after the event’s conclusion. The same direct spending and demographic information questions were used for both surveys. Subjects for the study were participants in a halfmarathon that was held in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States during 2012. Unlike previous studies that collected data from different subjects for the in person during event and online post event data collection periods – this study collected responses from the same subjects for both data collection periods. Overall, direct spending estimates were significantly higher for the online post-event direct spending survey respondents than the in person during event survey respondents.
