Show Radar

A live snapshot of what the Fringe is actually booking. We check ticket availability across the whole programme every few minutes, so you can see what is selling fastest, what is nearly gone, and decide what to book next. One board is not live: Outsold their room ranks each show against what its venue, room size, price and slot predict — a standing measured over the whole run so far, shown beside live availability.

Time

Final season board. The Fringe has finished and these figures are the last readings taken, not current availability. They are kept as a record of how the season ended.

Fullest shows i
Share of allocation gone
How much of each show's own ticket allocation has been taken, averaged across its remaining dates. This is a percentage, not a ticket count — we don't know venue capacities, so a full 30-seat room ranks above a half-empty 300-seat one. Unlike the other panels, this one ignores the "available only" filter: hiding what is nearly gone would hide the top of this list. Readings are whole percentage points, so shows sharing a figure are tied — they are ordered by current pace.

Fast-moving tickets i
Sales velocity (%/hour)
How fast a show's allocation is going right now — "2.5%/hour" means 2.5% of its allocation each hour. Taken from the fastest-moving of a show's remaining dates, measured over a 4-hour window, so it resolves to about 0.25%/hour.

Building momentum i
Acceleration (%/hour²)
Shows that are selling faster over time. "+1.5↑/hour²" means sales speed increases by 1.5% each hour. These shows are building buzz and might sell out soon!

Outsold their room i
Sold more than the room predicts
How much of its allocation a show sold, against what shows in the same size room, at the same price, in the same time slot usually manage. It measures demand, not quality — and it can’t tell you whether you’ll like it. Standing is measured over the whole run so far; availability is live.

Book soon i
Closest to gone
Ranked by how little of the allocation is left, lowest first — the shows nearest to selling out. Where we can also estimate a time ("~6h") it is remaining allocation divided by current sales pace, shown as a label only: it is a projection that assumes the pace holds, and it is absent for a show whose last few percent have stopped moving. Ranking on that estimate instead put shows with 98% still left above shows with 6% left.
