How many people attend Indie gigs / concerts?
I'm trying to get a rough idea of how many people attend venues / gigs / concerts for more less known or "indie" artists & bands. I know it mainly depends on how popular the artist or band is and how big of a fan base they have, but it would be nice to hear some of your guys's first hand experiences with indie gigs / concerts.
Who did you go to see and how many people were there roughly? And what was the experience like? :)
:D
I saw Bon Iver come onstage to a sold out audience
I went to a gig for an indie band that weren't too well known once.
It was a very pleasant experience.
What was the band called and how many people were there roughly? :)
Usually 57 people
Sometimes 58. Depends really.

Thanks
Once i went ti an indie gig/concert and there were quite a few people there.
Another time i went to an indie gig/concert and there weren't as many people there. The other 300 times i went there was a different amount of people as far as i remember. Hope this is of some use to you.
Some numbers would be great!

50-150?
people don't really go to indie gigs
they just pretend
If you don't make 80% capacity
You're not making a profit.
Is that what you wanted to know?
Though depending on how you define "more less known or "indie" artists & bands" then it's just as likely nobody makes a profit other than the brewery and the local chippie.
If you can give me some example bands/venues I'll try and provide a more sensible and thought out answer.
Craine / Dublin Castle
Hard Working Class Heroes / Sweet Jane Andrews Lane Theatre
Both guaranteed sell outs
Thanks for the serious answer
I sent you a message regarding it
I hadn't realised it was a serious answer I'd given
You'll forgive me for not replying, but this profile doesn't convince me that it's serious answers you're hoping for...
