I live in SF Bay Area, CA US.
I need to conduct a market research for my future business project. I know how to do that and what I need (I have experience in this area). What I don't know is the law.
Where can I do that? Can I ask people on the street? Do I need a permission to do that?
My target audience are Russian People living in Bay Area. So I was planning to get to some music show (concert) and ask people outside. I have just talked to one guy who manages concerts in this area, and he prohibited me to do it inside in the lobby. Well, I wonder, can I still do it outside on the street, can I ask people who are coming to this show? Do I still need his permission to do that if I will do it right in front of the entrance? Do I need a venue permission to do that? I just want it to be legal. It's a very decent research about movies. This guy's argument was that he doesn't want this kind of thing happening at his concerts.
I will appreciate your advise on that.
Little note: I have no budget for this project, so I can not pay for any outside help. That's why I want to do it myself in the first place. I have professional experience anyway.
So, how to do this having no budget and without a risk of being convicted by asking people questions out in the streets?
Thank you!
