A captive audience is a person or a group of people who have gathered in a certain place for a purpose and are provided or exposed to information that are unrelated to their actual purpose of being there. For example, students may gather in a classroom to study physics but may be "bombarded" with soft drink advertising or promotion. People queuing up at a petrol station or at a supermarket check-out are considered a "captive audience." They are likely to stay there for a certain time and are thus "captives" for a while. Other examples may include people in a departure lounge in airports and sports stadia. Advertising for such "captive audience" is likely to be effective because there is a high probability of the advertising being read or listened or seen.

The opposite of a captive audience is a voluntary or disengaged audience. This refers to individuals who are not compelled to pay attention or participate, often because they have the option to leave or ignore the presentation or message. Unlike a captive audience, which is held in place and focused, a disengaged audience may be distracted or uninterested, making it more challenging to capture their attention.
