Snapshots like this from event-based sites that receive relatively heavy traffic for short periods of time are probably better than information coming out of longer term audience-based sites. The audience based sites have a tendency to show trends according to the specific user profile, where as events will have a much broader user spectrum.
I suspect that you're really only objecting to one specific paragraph, which is kinda sad really, as the other information regarding stats is an indicator of number of people that accessed this application in the short life of the event and interesting, though not surprising, marketing related information. >I'm guessing you must be volunteering your time.
