For those wanting to briefly glance through respondent likelihood in the USA, here’s what you need to know.

1. State-wise Likelihood For Attending Live Concerts

States across the western & central region of the USA appear to have a higher inclination compared to other parts. Highly populous states like California and smaller states like Idaho and Utah also appear to have a sizable audience willing to attend concerts.

2. Likelihood of Attending Live Concerts With or Without Regulations

While fans are likely to attend concerts, they appear to prefer having safety measures at the venue. The likelihood of attending indoor concerts with regulations is lower than that of attending an outdoor concert without or minimal regulations.

The mandatory regulation of wearing face masks and maintaining a distance of 6 feet from strangers appears to be the most preferred amongst survey respondents. Learn more about Choosing An Indoor or Outdoor Venue In The New Normal. 

3. Region-wise Likelihood of Attending Live Concerts

The likelihood of attending concerts, in general, appears to be higher amongst concert attendees in the West and Midwest when compared to those from the Southeast, Southwest, and Northeast.

The likelihood of attending outdoor concert performances is higher compared to indoor concert performances across fan categories.

4. Top States Most Likely To Attend Indoor & Outdoor Live Concerts 

Respondents from US states which are smaller in size and less affected by COVID-19 appear more likely to attend a live concert over other states.

Fans in Wyoming and South Dakota are more likely to attend concerts once they resume. Idaho, Utah, and Louisiana residents are particularly likely to attend indoor concerts, while Kansas, Tennessee, and West Virginia residents prefer outdoor concerts.

Concerts

Concerts can get tricky as they have multiple dimensions such as talent buying, production, ticketing, and patron building. This is why having a good talent buyer can serve your casino well. Through concerts, you can pull in audiences who never would’ve never stepped into your casino. They might end up spending a few bucks at the slots or craps table in the process of strolling through your casino.

Live Music Bands

Live music bands are usually placed in diners and lounges that lure patrons in. Food and alcohol are classic chasers that complement any genre of music thus adding to the overall casino business. Running a casino might be your forte, but foodies don’t mind returning to your casino just for the elegant vibe they experienced through your lounge services. 

Dancers and Performers

Another classic form of Vegas showbiz is having individual artists and performers that contribute to a fun, high-energy environment on the casino floors. No casino floor is complete without the glitz and glam of these dancers, magicians, fire performers, and acrobats adding a bit of sizzle to the casino.

Masterchef

An extension of the popular TV series, Masterchef events are well-known to draw participation from your patrons. Food is a universal social glue that is bound to please the masses. Whether your guests are participating or simply watching, it’s a fresh idea to boost your overall entertainment value. Throwing in a celebrity chef in the mix will also add a whole new flavor to the entire event.

1. Focus on quality. You have to keep your press release to-the-point, undoubtedly, but that shouldn’t disturb the essence of your article. Normal people are going to read your press release, and it might be the first impression you create in front of them. So, make sure the language you use is publish-worthy and appealing to the readers.
2. Find the sweet spot. Every event has a highlight, a sweet spot, which is responsible for roping in 70-80% of the target audience. Make use of this when you’re writing the headline for the press release. This may be an exclusive speaker, an exquisite venue, or a scrumptious cuisine – you ask around and see what interests people the most about your event.
3. Use bylines. A byline comes right under the headline and is not more than 15 words. The function of a byline is to enhance your press release and bring out a key factor of your event. For example, if your press release is titled “Wildhorse: Next Stop For The Tenors”, your byline could be a little elaboration of the title and could be something like: “The Tenors to continue their Under One Sky tour and perform live at Wildhorse Resort”
4. Cover the 5 W’s. As mentioned earlier, journalists are busy folks and definitely not big fans of long-form. Cut your press release short by addressing the 5 W’s – what, where, when, who, and why – in a nutshell.
5. Back up your body with quotes. Quotes are pretty impressive in press releases, so go ahead and put in words of your guest speakers, past attendees, or other mentions that your event has received elsewhere. This will boost up your event’s identity in front of your readers.
6. In conclusion. The last paragraph of your press release should be very crisp, where you wrap up the story and include contact information about your client and maybe your team as well. Also, put in a few details of what exactly your client does in this paragraph.

If you really want to excel in the art of writing press releases, you can adopt these habits:

1. Read plenty of good newspapers.
2. Refrain from using hyperbolic adjectives.
3. The press release should be written in the third-person format (no ‘I’, ‘We’, ‘You’ etc. unless it’s a quote).
4. Don’t exceed 300 words.
5. You can add a pitch letter along with the highlights of the story.
6. Place three “#”s at the end of the press release, center aligned.
