Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The advent of digital technology has revolutionized the events industry, with online ticket sales emerging as a game-changer in improving event accessibility. Online platforms provide a seamless and efficient means for attendees to secure tickets, eliminating geographical barriers and long queues associated with traditional ticketing systems. In Dutse Local Government Area, Jigawa State, the adoption of online ticketing is gradually gaining traction, particularly as internet penetration increases in rural and urban areas. This system allows event organizers to reach a broader audience, providing real-time updates, promotions, and secure payment options (Abubakar et al., 2023). However, despite its potential, the effectiveness of online ticket sales in this region is influenced by factors such as internet connectivity, digital literacy, and trust in online payment systems. This study explores how online ticketing impacts event accessibility in Dutse LGA, analyzing both its advantages and the challenges that hinder its optimal implementation.
