1.
attendee; visitor; person who enters a venue or event
A person who enters a ticketed or ticket-like venue — a museum, stadium, exhibition, theme park, concert, or similar event. Used especially in official counts and announcements of attendance figures.
Composed of 入場 (entering a venue) and the suffix 〜者 (person). The word is mildly formal and appears most often in written announcements, news reports, and official statistics — you will see it on event posters, signage, and in news stories about attendance figures.
