So! Many of us on the Fringe staff love numbers, and we’ve been crunching them the last few days. Here are some to mull over. (The first number, the percentage, is the total percentage of capacity including the Encore. The second number—avg house—is the average number of tickets issued in that venue per performance.)
Overall – 31.9% cap, avg house 50.6
Bryant-Lake Bowl – 67.5% cap, avg house 55.4
Interact – 42.6% cap, avg house 23.0
Intermedia – 28.3% cap, avg house 32.5
Lab – 23.7 % cap, avg house 47.9
Theatre Garage – 36.4% cap, avg house 41.9
Mixed Blood – 18.1% cap, avg house 36.1
Playwrights’ Center – 34.5% cap, avg house 25.9
Ritz – 28.3% cap, avg house 63.6
Southern – 18.4% cap, avg house 36.8
Jeune Lune – 28.1% cap, avg house 62.6
Rarig Arena – 29.3% cap, avg house 58.3
Rarig Proscenium – 18.0% cap, avg house 75.8
Rarig Thrust – 25.5% cap, avg house 117.5
Rarig Xperimental – 49.2% cap, avg house 34.5

BYOVs – 44.3% capacity
