2001 Edinburgh Fringe Facts
The Annual Report for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2002 has some interesting
facts:
- In 2001, 873,887 tickets were sold for Fringe performances - an
increase of 138,000 tickets on the previous year, a rise of nearly
19%. This is over 70% more than the total number of tickets sold for
Wimbledon 2001, for example, and more than double the number of attendances
in a season for Edinburgh football clubs Hibernian (Hibs) and Heart
of Midlothian (Hearts) put together. Including figures from the Fringe’s
free outdoor event, Fringe Sunday on the Meadows, pushes overall attendances
to the same level as those expected for this year’s Manchester
Commonwealth Games
- Total ticket income was £6,636,093
- 20% of ticket sales were made through the website
- uptake of the lottery-backed 2 for 1 ticket offer on the first two
days of the Festival saw local attendances increase by nearly 400%
