Does today’s weather decide if you show up next week?
Kind of.
New research shows:
The weather at purchase predicts attendance.
Unusually warm day = more no-shows.
Unusually rainy or sunny = fewer.
Projection bias in action. #emptyseats #noshows

People aren’t great at predicting their future selves.
Even in football ticket purchases.
Warm day when buying?
Higher no-show rate.
Rainy day?
Lower.
Projection bias in the wild.
Today’s weather shapes tomorrow’s attendance.

• Big ref-to-ref differences
