I have noticed that at most multi-group (three or more) events that I have attended, 25-30 percent of the audience doesn't return after the intermission. Do you stay? Why or why not?

I don't remember ever leaving at intermission. I see it happening but we are usually some of the first to arrive and the last to leave!

I recently went to a concert and the after-intermission part was excellent, each group sang 15-20 minutes each. Most of the songs that were sung were requests. Many people left during the intermission and people were even getting up and leaving while an invitation was given. I was blown away

No, I have to stay because we usually have a second set to do. If I go to see a concert as a fan, I stay to the bitter end.

I have on rare occasions left at intermission, but only as I'm forced to do so by time requirements. Sometimes I have to get up EARLY the next day, and I have to leave early to compensate. But that's a rarity. Most of the time, I take the next day off from work as well.

I have left after intermission, at concerts by certain promoters where I have been disappointed by the "after intermission" portion.
It is very disappointing for the MC to say "come back for the second half", wait 30 minutes, and the "second half" is three songs.

I have left at intermission as well, not often, and never during an invitation! Most times it is a time factor of traveling, next day activity, and disappointment factor as in the previous thoughts! It usually is not a second half but a few minutes by each group. I prefer no intermission, just go through the whole sing and go home!

I have never left early from any concert. I came to hear the music, and I want to hear it all. I usually wait until the traffic clears out before I think of heading home also.

I typically stay for the entire show, except on occasions when I'm working the door or something to help out a promoter friend and it's a group I'm not particularly crazy about...then I may leave at intermission.

I do this at Gaither Homecoming concerts. It is fascinating to watch them disassemble a large stage, lights, everything, and load it onto trucks in about the time it takes the artists to finish working the crowd and pack up the product tables.

The only times I would consider leaving at the intermission are 1) I'm not enjoying the group(s) or 2) we have a 3-4 hour travel time to get back home.

I've never left a concert during the intermission.......even if the groups weren't doing well. You never know what you might miss........

Leaving at the intermission is like buying 1/2 a Coke at the concession stand, especially if you bought a ticket. Better, it's like leaving church right before the preaching.
I don't leave a ball game until the clock says 0:00 either, my team winning or losing.
