According to a September 2017 study, from August 2016 to August 2017, consumers paid a whopping $56 billion to attend sporting events. The study, conducted by the website creditcards.com, factored in the cost of transportation, food and drink, and ticket price.Breaking the figures down by earnings, it is no surprise that income played a large role in determining which demographics attended sporting events. Fans who made less than $30,000 a year only made up for 26 percent of that $56 billion, while sports fans making over $75,000 a year made up 49 percent. The study also found that older people attended less sporting events than younger sports fans. 21 percent of respondents were 53 or older while fans between the ages of 18 and 52 accounted for 43 percent.
