At a guess (a total guess, and based on comparable UK venues which may have different fire regs and stuff)...

Venue 2000
8 Seconds 1000
Common Grounds (someone will reopen it, won't they? :cry: ) 500
Atlantic 350
1982 120
Spin Cycle 200
Rum Runners 180
Flaco's 70

Maybe? Who knows. Just my perception.

Common Grounds is like 300-400
the Atlantic is probably around 200

hence the queue problems with both places

kenny should be pretty accurate... I would have maybe said venue 1.500 .. not sure if the fill up the 8 seconds till the back, but if a 1000 would be right... 1982 I guess you can get in 150/170

commond grounds is 500 venue and atlantic a 300 but I don't think they fill it up that way... but great to hear durty nellys is back... cap there should be 100/120

fun fact: even though they aren't an official Fest venue, legally wayward doesn't have a capacity, it's just however many can fit which was definitely tested at the pre-fest show last year during Iron Chic

Actually, Jeremy, Wayward does have a capacity, I think it's only like 36 or something. Rules are just made to be broken sometimes.

ehh....last year the door guy at the Atlantic even said that they were waiting for at least 10 people to leave before they even let one person in. considering that people had to enter and leave through the same opening, it didn't make sense that they couldn't do an equal 1 for 1, 2 for 2, etc. exchange.
