ABSTRACTRationale In professional sports, no-shows increasingly pose a significant challenge to the management. Even though previous research has already established that such spectator no-show behavior (NSB) is more widespread among season ticket holders (STHs), the related literature has produced conflicting findings on the antecedents of such potentially defective behavior, which requires additional analysis in alternative environments.Approach Accordingly, in this manuscript, we contribute to the slowly emerging literature explaining STH NSB by analyzing a previously unexplored football environment, i.e. the Czech Republic.Findings Interestingly, our findings suggest that most effects are likely robust across the different sporting environments and markets, despite a few noticeable differences.Practical implications While our results might inform more efficient STH recruitment (e.g. younger spectators, citizens of the town), they also underline that reducing no-show rates may be hard to obtain if seat supply exceeds demand.Research contribution Although future research on alternative sports and markets might be valuable, our results suggest that the marginal benefit of additional studies tends to decrease, perhaps naturally. In contrast, also reflecting on our apparent limitations, we believe that future research approaches might benefit tremendously from mixed methods approaches, ideally in cooperation with more than only one sporting association or club.KEYWORDS: Attendancedecision-makingdemandfootball/soccerno-showsseason ticketsspectator sportssubscription marketsstadiumsJEL CODES: D12L83R22Z20 AcknowledgmentsOur article is based on a chapter in the doctoral dissertation of the first author under the supervision of the third author. We want to thank the management of the Czech football club AC Sparta Praha for their tremendous support in conducting this research. Further, we gratefully acknowledge the excellent comments and suggestions from a reviewer, as well as the editorial board and the associate editor, all of which have helped us improve the manuscript’s quality.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Although no-shows, i.e., “individuals who fail to show up for a scheduled appointment without prior notice” (Schreyer, Citation2021a, p. 331), have been previously explored in various industry contexts, including the education, hospitality, and transport industry, it is undoubtedly most pronounced in the health care industry. In this context, patients omit, on average, about every fourth appointment (c.f., Dantas et al., Citation2018).
