With so many demographics to please, sporting event organisers can often be left scratching their heads when it comes to improving the overall fan experience. While a family with children may favour one form of entertainment or opportunity, a group of teenagers may not be as enthusiastic - and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Fan experience hinges on far more than entertainment, cuisine and hospitality - so let Provision Events guide you through all you need to know in 2024 - making your sporting event the hottest ticket in town.
The Event In Question
Sports events can of course vary in scale, budget and concept - so there’s a definite need to cater the fan experience around this. A smaller and more intimate advent may lend itself to more targeted and personal entertainment and facilities for example, while a larger event with varied crowds may be better streamlined to please the masses.
As a bare minimum of course, when it comes to encouraging people out of their homes and into live event settings, it is essential to minimise risk and provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. Once these elements have been considered, an events management company can take over and hone in for a specific and streamlined approach.
Live Entertainment
It is essential to think of other ways to entertain fans inside the venue, with exclusive activities and experiences that cannot be replicated at home. One such form of entertainment is the implementation of live acts and performers to capture the attention. It isn’t uncommon to see live bands and performers within football fan zones or on stages alongside other entertainment at a local sports event day.
Live entertainment usually captures the imagination as it’s a great way to unwind - fostering a sense of community and fun that will hopefully set the tone for an enjoyable day. Due to the universal nature of a performance too, there’s potential for those of varied ages and backgrounds to come together with locally sourced food and drink to enjoy a live act.
Interactive Elements
Interactivity is a sure way of retaining attention, and whether using mobile apps and social media to involve others from a distance, or utilising digital screens to offer behind-the-scenes footage, gamifying the event can enhance understanding and enjoyment. One such popular activity is sports simulation experiences - easily set up on-site, and always a big draw with families and friends alike.
