event-goers

Those who attend

Event-goers are people who attend events—concerts, festivals, conferences, sporting matches, or other organized gatherings.

The term is neutral and functional, used mainly by organizers, venues, and journalists: Event-goers lined up hours before the gates opened.

It emphasizes attendance rather than participation or fandom.
