The attendance figure touched 33.5 million, marking a 20% growth from the 27 million in 2019. In addition, 100 million tickets were sold up until July 2022, whereas the figure stood at 74 million in 2019. Consequently, the upsurge in live entertainment events is fueling the expansion of the online event ticketing market.
