Gents,
Any of you know the circa number of people in attendance for the Legends show in 08 and 09? What have been the max attendance?
I am holding a talk at my local town about my book and want to introduce the subject as something which is very much alive in 2009

From that then it sounds as though my hearing must be defective all I know is that it is very well attended to the extent that on at least one occasion they have closed the admissions at 1200 or 1300 as they cannot get any more in.

Thanks Bograt, it is noted and will be used as an opener 🙂

Those 2009 figures are the official numbers, I have the memo in front of me.

Those numbers sounds like the ones I’ve heard before. I’ll require further to be on the safe side. Thanks!

Just below 30,000 for the weekend in 2009; I don’t have the exact numbers for 2008 but from memory it was about 35,000, thanks to some good fortune with the weather.

If you go to the IWM website – check the trader details – they expect 15k per day as an average.

In reality – I think the event in 2008 was closer to 20k due to the weather and the problems with RIAT.
If in doubt give Marion Stickley an email – as she is responsible for trade stands – so should be able to tell you.

Ask TFC or IWM – you should get authoritative counts, and if you ask for related info, you might get data such as Mike’s touched on.

How true it is I don’t know but I’ve heard 12000 a day for both days a couple of years back.
I think the record attendance would have been for something like the Spitfire first flight 60th anniversary or B of B 60th.
