In 2013 over 52, 000 visitor bed nights were produced with an average spend of $1288 per visitor group. The total amount that interstate visitors associated spending was $17.9 million. There was an approximate value of $9 million with 2012 367,000 tickets being sold. Adelaide Fringe does not run venues itself, aside from the Fringe Club. Nevertheless, what the Adelaide Fringe does do is encourage and assist other venues to be artistically and financially successful as possible. This includes assisting the grouping of artists with venues and providing scheduling, programming, funding, marketing and publicity advice. One of the key operations of the Adelaide Fringe is to support, encourage and assist registered artists. It works to guarantee that all of the artists and presenters have the best possible experience from the beginning registration process to their performances and exhibitions.
The Adelaide Fringe is a festival for the entire family, there are a range of people that attend and they range from old to young and female and male.

What my fair means to my community was the question, but the answer I concluded was most intriguing. For some the fair is something to come and connect with old friends, colleagues or relatives perhaps. For others the fair is to bring their animals to compete, or see who has the best showmanship and the best quality of animal. For the other individuals of the community they come to our fair because they want to take part in showing their business or vending. That is one of the great parts of our fair because usually the products are handmade and unique to their own kind. For some they come for the art, the music, the rides, the food and the list goes on. Overall the most meaningful about my fair is that the community not only comes together,
Corporate hospitality is a private event held by corporations and businesses to entertain and build good relationships with their staff and clients and to encourage new businesses. For example a company hires a venue such as the Hinitze Hall in the Natural History Museum which offers galleries for a range of evening events with catering facilities and staff which will be used only by the business team.
This is also the reason why stage production of the festival in Adelaide is so small. This can be seen when figure a (FOMO Adelaide) and figure B (FOMO Gold Coast) are compared. As you can clearly see from taking a quick glance at both festival sites with very similar lineups, the gold coast venue got a lot more people attending with the same amount of promoting and marketing. This clearly shows that there is something that hinders people from attending artist shows and festivals in Adelaide, which isn 't there in cities like Brisbane or Melbourne. The manager of the festival and I had a word and he said that the only reason they are bringing the festival to South Australia is so that they can use Adelaide as a testing ground and see if there is much potential for future events. The turnout was better than expected for this festival but still no where near as good as the other sites. Ever since the festival, BBE has been bringing in artist shows to Adelaide, such as Diplo, which I also worked on primarily as a marketing assistant, and his show was a lot bigger in the other cities as well, with higher stage production, more lights and a lot more crowd interaction.
Contemporary Australian theatre mainly focuses on the reflection of the ‘real’ Australia and communicating to the audience real and modern issues/ideas that respond to the social climate and community. Australian theatre practitioners use various performance styles, techniques and dramatic conventions to help portray their ideas to their audiences and make them feel a particular way to the ideas presented in a play. Without the use of these styles, techniques and conventions it wouldn’t be possible for the practitioners to emphasise their ideas.
Following meetings with the Festival and Event Liaison Officer (FELO) at Brisbane City Council and Major Events Unit at Queensland Police Service it is agreed that for safety reasons the event site will be fenced. Ongoing discussions are occurring to seek some in-kind support for this. Backstage area will also be fenced for security.
Whether it is through the contributions made to the economy through the training and advancement of technology at the University of Oklahoma, or through Norman’s consistent acceptance and pursuance of new business throughout its 189 square miles, the city is consistent in its pursuit of both growth and excellence. Norman hosts large festivals throughout the year, including the Norman Music Festival, the Medieval Fair, Jazz in June, and 89er's Day Festival. These festivals all bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars to the city of Norman and its businesses, plus they help to increase the popularity of tourism in not only Norman, but also across Oklahoma.
The community festival is a nonprofit organization that has a tax exempt status as well as a history of over 20 years. The organization and the event are run by a board of directors and a small, permanent staff composed of no more than five employees at any given time. The goal of the festival is to promote local arts and crafts and to support local artists by providing a venue through which they can sell their work, advertise their work, and develop and expand their customer base. Because the festival has been held for many years, it is well-known in the
This is a free event but booking is necessary because space is limited. For more information and booking details go to www.spiritofanzac.gov.au
The third viable alternative for the festival is to use the market penetration strategy. It has been observed that a lot of people have been unable to attend the festival because of out-of-reach places and scarcity of tickets. Thus, if the
From a human resources standpoint, FNL currently has a great relationship with its clientele and is rich with performers and entertainers eager to take part in the events. This is demonstrated by the growth of visitors to 25,000 in the last season with additional growth expected. By last year’s numbers alone, 2,800 visitors can be expected, demonstrating the objective is not out of reach (see Exhibit 1). As the venue’s maximum operational capacity is limited 5,000 people, a sellout is plausible, creating a feel of exclusivity, encouraging people to buy their tickets in advance. A sold out event would be a huge success not only in achieving the desired attendance, but also for the future episodes in the
The festival which already receives funding from major companies, can seek out new music focused company sponsorship's that will provide aid for the costs of the concerts. The last opportunity for the festival includes the role it can provide in educating the local youth about local cultural music, theater, and arts. Many may grow up to have a strong appreciation towards their own communities’ festival.
Last Sunday, I attended the Melbourne improv conspiracy theatre session called "Girl Jam" of the Melbourne Fringe Festival with my group members. The show is run monthly from 6pm to 7pm and it is led by a group of professional actors. The "Girl Jam" is a comedy improv show where self-identifying women get to jump on stage and share the joy of improvising together. The show is very much related to playback theatre style except one story could be divided into 6 scenes and each scene went on for about 10 minutes.
In recent years the growth of the festival’s attendance has created a problem for many visitors in their ability to find lodging. Resulting in many having to stay in motels and/or bed and breakfasts as far as 60 kilometres away. Readings and musical events sell out within hours after tickets go on sale. Additional readings have been added, but the demand still exceeds the supply.
