discount certificates, brochures handed out, police requirements for crowd control or visual estimates.
Representative Survey: Information collected directly from individual visitors/ participants. A representative

can be reliably projected to the entire population attending an event and includes margin of error and confidence
level.
Informal Survey: Information collected directly from individual visitors or participants in a non-random manner
that is not representative of all visitors or participants. Informal survey results cannot be projected to the entire
visitor population and provide a limited indicator of attendance because not all participants had an equal chance of

example, one jurisdiction estimated attendance by dividing the square footage of the event area by the international
building code allowance for persons (3 square feet).
