 For the third year running Theatre Forum has conducted its audience benchmarking research. Over 28 venues and six festivals participated. This is the only longitudinal quantitative study of arts audiences currently available in Ireland.

 • how much are they paying for tickets?
 • are they coming back?
• how big is the audience for theatre and for dance?
