The above attendance figures are inclusive of university attendance and all events and bookings
at The J. Attendance growth at The J is evident over recent years and has further increased
again to 85,089.

The cost per visit, exclusive of depreciation and internal charges, was $2.37, down 27% from last
year’s measure of $3.25. Inclusive of uncontrollable costs, this figure increases to $8.92, up 1.8%
on last year’s figure of $8.76 and due to a $100k increase in internal charges.

Another measure, which clearly demonstrates the large increase in business at The J over recent
years, is the total value of tickets sold. The graph below shows this has increased from $591k to
$1.053m in just four years.
