Consumers experience increased security measures at public events, potentially longer wait times and higher ticket prices to cover security costs; however, event continuation supports local entertainment and hospitality spending.
Governments may increase public event security budgets and implement stricter venue safety protocols; potential regulatory changes to event permitting and crowd management procedures; possible increased funding for counter-terrorism and intelligence operations.

Echoes Cold War-era Soviet designation of Western institutions as ideological threats; mirrors contemporary Russian strategy of weaponizing 'undesirable organization' designations against Western democracies and civil society.
