Pretty simple topic submitted this week...

What age bracket do you fall in as a theatre-going audience member (and visitor of this site).

Re: New Poll - demographics

It'd be best if the age groups were 13-18, 19-25, 26-..... rather than 13-18, 18-25, 25-....., because the way it is means that borderliners like myself need to decide where to put ourselves. :-S

Well spotted. I've hacked in and changed the poll accordingly. Sorry if that has put current votes out of whack, I'm sure it won't be devastating.

Re: New Poll - demographics

Have just looked at the latest figures for the latest poll. Judging by the (apparant) results so far hardly anyone over the age of 60+ goes to the theatre! As everyone in community theatre knows a large percent of our audience is composed of "seniors"!!

I'd say the results have more to do with the age of those accessing this site?

Thou dankish bat-fowling lout!

Quite right, Norma, hence my appending "..(and visitor of this site)" when I activated and announced this suggestion.

Interesting though, to see the number of 'over 76' seniors who are accessing this website.

Re: Poll Results - demographics


Age demographics poll of this website was up for a fortnight, and received 367 responses.

According to the poll:

22% (82 votes) are aged between 19-25
22% (81 votes) are aged between 13-18
17% (62 votes) are aged 13 and under
13% (48 votes) are aged between 26-35
9% (35 votes) are aged between 36-45
6% (24 votes) are aged between 46-55
3% (12 votes) are aged between 66-75
3% (11 votes) are aged 76 and over
2% (9 votes) are aged between 56-65

It ought to be noted that over a single evening, the votes in the "under 13" category jumped from about 5 to over 40....so either a whole classroom logged on at once, or one 13-year-old was having a bit of fun that night....


Results are therefore a rough guide only and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed!


Cheers,
