Portland'5 Attendance by Event FY24 and FY25.xlsx

This is an attendance and event data spreadsheet for Portland'5 Centers for the Arts documenting fiscal years 2024 and 2025 performance across five downtown Portland venues (Keller Auditorium, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Newmark Theatre, Dolores Winningstad Theatre, and Brunish Theatre). The spreadsheet tracks event attendance by venue and date, ranging from July 2023 through August 2024, and includes event categories such as Broadway productions, classical performances, comedy shows, dance performances, children's theater, and community programming. Total FY24 attendance reached 802,714, with FY25 attendance at 798,347. Events are categorized by promoter type including Live Nation, Portland'5 Presents, Broadway Across America, Oregon Symphony Orchestra, Oregon Ballet Theatre, and various non-profit and commercial partners. Ticket pricing information is provided for most ticketed events, with prices ranging from free community events to premium performances exceeding $300 per ticket. The data captures attendance patterns across multiple venue partnerships and promotional models, providing comprehensive performance metrics for the facilities currently operated by Metro, which will transition to a new single operator effective July 1, 2027.

The attendance data directly supports the concurrent Request for Proposals issued by the City of Portland for a new venue operator to assume management of Portland'5 Centers for the Arts beginning July 1, 2027, following Metro's conclusion of operations on June 30, 2027. The spreadsheet demonstrates the venues' operational scale and revenue generation capacity, with the current annual operating budget approximately $25 million, supported by service revenues (83%), City and governmental funding (13%), and miscellaneous sources (4%). The historical attendance and event data provided in this file serves as baseline performance information for prospective operators evaluating the financial viability and operational complexity of managing all five venues simultaneously. The data illustrates the diversity of programming, partnership structures, and audience engagement required to successfully operate these facilities, including significant commitments to Broadway Across America through the 2032-2033 season and existing Portland'5 Presents obligations that the new operator must honor.
