ABSTRACT
The management of event arenas is considered at length in the publication Arenas [1], so arena events as such are not covered in this chapter, though they are covered brief ly in chapter thirteen on programming. Suff ice it to say, however, that all events need good planning and organization. Whilst most top-level major events are organized by promoters or by governing bodies and associations outside the control of leisure facility managers, community related events, joint promotions and ‘own’ promotions call for considerable expertise on the part of leisure managers.
