How willing and able are patrons/visitors to buy real-world tickets or digital experiences? How does this vary based on the different elements of your offer?
Which repertoire/exhibitions will encourage patrons/visitors to attend, or which artists, at what time?
Where is the headroom to increase prices without undermining demand? Should strategic discounts be targeted at certain segments?

Expert insights tailored to your audience
This research perfectly complements sentiment tracking surveys.
