NAME OF COLLECTION
Attendance at Selected Cultural and Sporting Events and Venues
OVERVIEW
The Attendance at Selected Cultural and Sporting Events and Venues (ASCSEV) topic collects data on attendance at a range of cultural venues and events as well as attendance at sports events. The ASCSEV topic was collected in 1991, 1995 and 1999 as a supplementary survey to the Labour Force Survey. In 2002, ASCSEV was collected as a module in the General Social Survey and most recently in 2005-06 as part of the Multi-Purpose Household Survey program.
Attendance is a key performance indicator for a number of culture and leisure venues and activities. The survey also collects socio-demographic details on attendees and non-attendees to enable cultural and sporting bodies to understand the profile of their audiences. Principal users are the National Centre for Culture and Recreation Statistics (NCCRS) of the ABS, the Cultural Ministers Council Statistical Working Group (CMC SWG), the Department of Communication, Information Technology and the Arts, and the Standing Committee on Recreation and Sport (SCORS) Research Group.
Data items collected by the ASCSEV are capable of being cross classified by demographic characteristics including Data Items Relevant to Migrants and Ethnicity.
