TH TORONTO ENTERTAINMENT SURVEY SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS REPORT DATE: APRIL, 0 CONDUCTED BY FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT ANDREW ARNTFIELD AARNTFIELD@FIELDDAY.COM TEL -0- EXT

INTRODUCTION In February 0, Field Day conducted its th Toronto Entertainment Survey to gauge the interest in, and attitudes towards, Toronto s live entertainment offerings. The survey looked at nearly 00 GTA attractions in six categories: theatre & performing arts organizations; galleries & museums; festivals, fairs and events; destinations; sports; and concert or arts venues. In addition to Toronto attractions, the survey also included major Southern Ontario attractions such as African Lion Safari, the Stratford Festival and Shaw Festival. The survey asked respondents to identify which attractions they attended in the 0 calendar year, how often they attended each attraction in 0, and the average size of their group. Respondents were also asked to identify their three All-Time Favourite attractions. Finally, respondents were asked where they typically learned about attractions, and their motivations for attending live attractions. This document contains selected highlights of the survey results and analysis. METHODOLOGY The survey was conducted online. Survey invitations were distributed via email to Field Day s database of,00 Southern Ontario residents who have opted in to receive survey and contesting information. The survey link was also promoted via social media (Facebook and Twitter) and on Canadian contesting websites. As an incentive to participate in the survey, Field Day offered a chance to win a Grand Prize of $,000 CDN cash, or one of four Second Place Prizes of $0 CDN cash. Respondents were required to complete the survey prior to entering the contest. Field Day gathered over,00 responses from adults living in Southern Ontario. Respondents provided basic demographic information including their FSA (the first three digits of their postal code), age, household income, education and gender. This demographic data was used to weight the responses to accurately reflect StatsCan demographics. The survey has a margin of error of less than % with a confidence level of %.

0 SURVEY KEY FINDINGS NO CHANGE AT THE TOP (SEE P ) For the first time, the top three All-Time Favourite attractions remained the same as the previous survey, with the, Ripley s Aquarium and Canada s Wonderland retaining their top positions. THE RESURGENCE OF THE LEAFS (SEE P ) The popularity of the rebounded in the 0 survey. After falling in the All-Time Favourite list for consecutive surveys, the team bounced back to th place overall this year. 0: st place 0: rd place 0: th place 0: th place 0: th place THE RISE OF THE RAPTORS (SEE P ) The Toronto Raptors saw their popularity rise in the current survey, reflecting their performance on the court. The team rose from th place in the 0 survey to th place in the current results. THE DECLINE OF PRINT MEDIA (SEE PS -) Audiences of all ages are less likely than ever to rely on newspapers for information on events and destinations. Reliance on both newspaper advertising and newspaper articles declined sharply with all age groups in the two years since the last survey. THE SOCIAL ERA (SEE PS -) Word of mouth and social media especially Facebook are the primary sources of information for all generations. While some reports claim that Facebook is no longer relevant with younger audiences, it is still the most popular source of information for those age -. Since the previous survey, Facebook use declined somewhat with younger respondents, but increased with those + years of age. Twitter use declined slightly with all age groups, while Instagram increased in popularity with all age groups. URBAN, SUBURBAN & RURAL: HOW THEIR CHOICES VARY (SEE P ) Depending on where you live, your entertainment choices vary. Some attractions are equally popular no matter where you live particularly the, Ripley s Aquarium and. However, the Toronto Raptors and Art Gallery of Ontario appeared in the top 0 All-Time Favourites of City of Toronto residents (postal code M) but they were not on the top 0 lists for suburban or rural respondents.

0 ALL-TIME FAVOURITE ATTRACTIONS Respondents were provided with a list of nearly 00 GTA and several Southern Ontario attractions. They were then asked to select their top three All-Time Favourites. Attendance in 0 or at any other time was not a criterion for selection. ALL-TIME FAVOURITES REMAIN THE SAME The remained Southern Ontarians All-Time favourite attraction for the second straight survey. The Jays ranked # in the 0 study, and # in 0. Meanwhile, Ripley s Aquarium and maintained their respective # and # positions. THE RESURGENCE OF THE LEAFS AND THE RISE OF THE RAPTORS The recent successes of Toronto s sports franchises was reflected in the survey results. Toronto Maple Leafs popularity had steadily declined in the previous two surveys, slipping from # in 0 to # in 0, and finally landing at # in the 0 survey. This year the Leafs rebounded to the # position, and their rise mirrors their improvement on the ice. Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors climbed from # position to # in the most recent survey.

UNIQUE VISITORS: SOME KEY FINDINGS WHERE IS TOMORROW S AUDIENCE FOR PERFORMING ARTS? Many performing arts organizations have seen declines in attendance as their audience ages, and they are examining both their product and marketing with an eye to building an audience for the future. But where are their audience gaps? Many of Toronto s performing arts organizations share the same challenges: their greatest appeal is with residents of the City of Toronto proper (postal code M). Among Toronto performing arts organizations, the anomaly is Mirvish Productions which draws a larger audiences from the suburbs (postal code L). Other organizations that draw well from either suburban or rural areas are Canadian Stage, the National Ballet of Canada, Second City, Soulpepper, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Young People s Theatre. Out-of-town organizations like the Shaw Festival and the Stratford Festival draw well from all geographic areas. Shaw is more likely to attract audiences from postal code L than Stratford. Lessons can also be learned from the audience breakdown by age. Many smaller performing arts organizations see a decline in attendance with the year old age group, when their priorities are often focused on their children. However, some organizations are increasing successful in drawing the - age group, including Canadian Opera Company, the National Ballet of Canada, Soulpepper, and smaller organizations such as Factory Theatre, Opera Atelier, Tafelmusik and Tarragon Theatre.

GEOGRAPHY MATTERS CITY OF TORONTO Many attractions draw their audience almost exclusively from City residents (postal code M), while other attractions have strong appeal with those outside the city. Toronto s smaller theatre and performing arts organizations and performing arts venues attract few attendees from the 0 or beyond. GTA (EXCLUDING CITY RESIDENTS) Family activities, auto racing, and football draw heavily from the postal code L the Greater Toronto Area surrounding the City of Toronto. The attractions on this list get their largest audience from the GTA, but they also draw well across all three regions. Only the Toronto Caribbean Carnival failed to draw an audience from Southern Ontario outside the GTA although it regularly attracts tourists from outside of Ontario. THE REST OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO Family and tourist-oriented entertainment and regional attractions drew the majority of their audience from beyond the GTA. The attractions on this list count on Southern Ontario residents for between /rds and half of their audience base.

CONSUMER MOTIVATIONS PLEASE INDICATE HOW MUCH EACH STATEMENT DESCRIBES YOU. We asked respondents to rank each statement from Not at all to Quite a lot. Scores from were assigned to each of the four options (see below), and then the average response was determined, weighted against StatsCan data. The chart below shows the overall average ranking, as well as the average rankings by gender, location and age. = NOT AT ALL = A LITTLE = SOMEWHAT = QUITE A LOT The numbers below represent the average ranking of all respondents.

WHAT TYPE OF EXPERIENCES ARE RESPONDENTS MOST INTERESTED IN? Live music is the most popular form of entertainment. Younger respondents are more interested in live music experiences. As well, younger respondents are more likely to be interested in easy, escapist experiences. Respondents of all ages are not likely to attend an event or destination by themselves. WHO MAKES THEIR ENTERTAINMENT DECISIONS? On average, most respondents make their own attendance decisions. Younger respondents age - are slightly more likely to let a family member or friend make their entertainment decisions. WHICH GROUPS ARE THE MOST ADVENTUROUS? Overall, all demographic groups prefer escapist experiences to challenging experiences. Repondents age - are most likely to try new or unfamiliar experiences. Respondents age - have the most diverse interests, and they enjoy both challenging and escapist experiences. As respondents age, they are less likely to attend unfamiliar experiences and to have diverse interests. They are also less likely to enjoy both challenging AND escapist experiences. Urban respondents are slightly more interested in attending unfamiliar experiences and they have more diverse interests than their suburban and rural counterparts. Urban respondents are also more likely to enjoy challenging experiences AND escapist experiences. Females are more likely than males to enjoy both challenging and escapist experiences.

CONSUMER MOTIVATIONS IF YOU DIDN T ATTEND IN 0, WHY NOT? If respondents indicated that they didn t attend any attractions or events in 0, we asked why not. The chart below shows the overall average ranking, as well as the average rankings by gender, location and age. Over half of respondents cited cost as a reason for lack of attendance. Cost was particularly important for the youngest respondents, and less of an issue for older respondents. It was also more important for rural respondents than urban ones. Lack of free time was more of a concern for younger respondents especially those age - than for older respondents. Travel distance an issue for rural respondents. Males were more likely than females to cite lack of interest and preferences for home entertainment or other leisure activities.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION WHERE DO YOU LEARN ABOUT EVENTS? Where do customers learn about events and attractions, and do their sources of information vary by age, location or gender? The survey asked respondents to identify their sources of information. Respondents could select all choices that apply and could write in additional sources. (Write-in responses were statistically insignificant and not included here.) SHARING THE EXPERIENCE Nearly half of all respondents selected Facebook and word of mouth as sources of information. Word of mouth was relatively equally important across all demographic categories: gender, location and age. Friends and family are viewed as reliable information sources, so it is increasingly important for attractions to develop advocates and encourage them to share their positive experiences with others. DIGITAL VS TRADITIONAL MARKETING The chart on the following pages show the marked swings in media use by different age groups, and how it has changed since our previous survey in February 0. Facebook is still the top source of information for all respondents and dramatically so for those age or younger. Facebook use declines with older respondents, but it is still a viable source even for those age +... and usage has increase with those age + since the previous survey. Conversely, newspaper advertising and newspaper articles have declined sharply with all age groups since the previous survey. Online advertising and online news articles emails from attractions were highly ranked by all demographic groups. Emails from attractions were popular, especially with middle aged respondents. Instagram has also increased in popularity with all age groups since the previous survey.
