ADELAIDE FESTIVALS

In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS (29 March 2012).

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women): The Minister for the Arts has been advised:

1. Of the total 6,532 performances or sessions held during the 2012 Fringe, 237 were cancelled.

The Fringe is unable to provide the numbers of tickets that remained unsold. While the Fringe has accurate figures of ticket sales through FringeTIX and other ticketing partners, it does not receive full figures on tickets sold as door sales by venues and artists and therefore has no mechanism to determine the number of unsold tickets.
