The values included in the concert organizers’ products in Europe and Latvia – high level performers’ performance, an interesting programme and innovative content, coincide with the hearers’ main reasons for the choice of the event. Concert organizers in Latvia also see the signifcance in the offer of classical values, combining them with education and alternative content, but concert organizers in Europe – educating content in combination with alternative environment.

In Latvia, despite the critical demographic situation, the tendency of concert attendance is increasing in comparison with other European countries, where it is assessed as frmly stable. According to the obtained data in the research, in the contemporary music product sales the most essential information channel is the social media, which is used for information acquisition by 43% listeners in Latvia, but for information provision it is used by 47% concert organizers in Latvia and 40% in Europe. In the Latvian concert organizers’ practice outdoor advertising (20%) is also popular and forms the point of listeners – posters (31%).
