Mesmerizing site visualises how people travel for their passions

By published

See how huge numbers of fans traverse the planet to see their favourite sports and music stars.

Global events like The Olympics, a Rolling Stones gig, and the Superbowl draw in fans from around the planet. Fans on the Move (opens in new tab) is a mesmerizing new visualisation that depicts the complexity and scale of an event's ability to pull in people.

Not only is the site beautiful to behold, it skillfully conveys the huge population movement numbers that might otherwise be hard to comprehend.

The site, designed by Spain's ElkanoData (opens in new tab) for TicketBits, draws in travel data from over 16,000 events that occurred over the last three years.
