Tickets, Tweets, and Terror: Understanding Consumer Reactions to High-Profile Event Organization in a Climate of Heightened Insecurity

We find that expressions of (mis-)trust in higher authorities, ignoring situation seriousness, and furthering personal agendas help navigate panic-stricken moments.
