Edinburgh Fringe Festival Ticket Sales 2009

How the Fringe just keeps getting Better

During 2009 the Edinburgh Festival Fringe ticket sales hit a record high of more than 1.85m tickets sold for the event; a sales increase of 9% from the previous year. The reason for this surge in sales is because many people decided to holiday in the UK rather than going on holidays abroad due to the recession. For many 2009 was the best festival in 20 years.

According to the Guardian, the festival 2009 featured a slightly larger number of shows compared with the previous year with 2098 productions. Prices were also much lower and a lot of cheap deals were offered to draw in the crowds during that tough time. The so called ‘free-fringe festival’ added to the festivals allure, presenting a large window of opportunity to see as many different shows as possible. The ‘free fringe’ is set to be even wider sweeping this year coming.

  The views for the festival during 2010 are still a bit sceptical. Economists say that the recession will still have a big impact as we are now in the recovery period. However we have experienced a large demand for festival accommodation already and it’s only March. It seems that the festival continues to grow each year and it is still a large part of Edinburgh’s economy.

We are hopeful that this year will be as successful if not more successful than last year. And if last year is anything to go by, you will be able to see lots of shows for bargain prices!

The Free Fringe Festival - the return of spontaniety.

Free Comedy at the Edinburgh Festival

Arguably, the real, original fun of the Edinburgh Fringe lies in spontaneity. Picture this: while wandering aimlessly down the Royal Mile you are accosted by a man in 16th century period dress pointing you towards his comedy on Sir Walter Raleigh at the underbelly, on the way you are given a leaflet to go to a silent movie atop Carlton Hill, live, and complete with a 22 peace orchestra. You couldn’t make it up.

 
Edinburgh weathering out the Credit Crunch

How Scotland’s Capital continues to Thrive!

The City of Edinburgh is increasingly well known for being both a financial institution and a global tourism hotspot. These industries have continued to see growth despite the ‘credit crunch’.

Edinburgh continues to be considered a key centre for financial growth and has proven to be an ideal city for a business to develop, both on the high street, with up and coming chains such as Urban Outfitters opening up alongside old favourites like Primark, and in the business sector - the headquarters of Tesco Personal Finance, attracted to the Nation’s Capital, recently relocated to Haymarket, creating two hundred jobs.
