New Survey Shows Just 19% of UK Theatre Patrons Ready to Return

by BWW News Desk: “The survey, called ‘After the Interval’, was conducted by Indigo… The venues then sent the survey out to their patrons, and received over 86,000 responses. 93% of respondents said they missed attending live events, and only 17% said they are actively booking now for future events. However, just 19% of people said they would consider attending events again at this time, even if venues are looking to reopen. 

Out of that group, 26% of respondents are under 35 years old, and 14% are over 65.

75% of the total respondents said that they would feel safer in venues if there were social distancing measures in place, including limits on the number of people who can attend (76%), avoiding long queues of people (72%) and seats spaced at 2 meters apart (65%).”
