Ticket sales<br />

The Province of West Flanders supported BRUGGE 2002 with the organisation of ticket<br />

sales and the booking of guided tours via the newly set-up TiNCK structure.<br />

Alongside material support (hardware and software), BRUGGE 2002 also received staff<br />

support in the telephone and electronic advance sale and booking of tickets.<br />

BRUGGE 2002 vzw received 4 4,008,072.35 or 14.75% of the total revenue from ticket<br />

sales. Below is an overview of the breakdown according to disciplines:<br />

78<br />

BRUGGE 2002<br />

Exhibitions 4 2,849,416.76 71.09%<br />

Contemporary art 4 53,065.75 1.32%<br />

Architecture and monuments 4 3,629.18 0.09%<br />

Music 4 299,838.46 7.48%<br />

Performing arts 4 254,275.84 6.34%<br />

Film and media 4 10,487.60 0.26%<br />

Literature and debate 4 20,227.27 0.50%<br />

Youthful impatience 4 42,768.15 1.07%<br />

Events 4 158,478.69 3.95%<br />

Neighbourhood and world 4 16,463.10 0.41%<br />

Other 4 299,421.55 7.47%<br />

Total 4 4,008,072.35 100.00%<br />

As was to be expected, most tickets were sold in connection with the three main exhibitions.<br />

Tickets for these were also sold via foreign distributors and in-kind sponsors<br />

VUM and NMBS sold extra tickets in Belgium. BRUGGE 2002 was able to maximise<br />

revenue from the tickets for these three exhibitions, allowing other activities to be<br />

implemented.<br />

The type of discipline is important when assessing these figures. ‘Architecture and<br />

monuments’ or ‘Film and Media’, for example, had little if any revenue from tickets.<br />

The category ‘Other’ includes sales revenue from subscriptions, BRUGGE 2002 passes,<br />

Poorters passes (discount passes for Bruges residents and staff of the City of<br />

Bruges) and guided tours. In total, 9,384 Poorters passes and 1,513 BRUGGE 2002<br />

passes were sold. Also, 4,393 guided tours were requested via BRUGGE 2002.<br />

Merchandising and publications<br />

In total, BRUGGE 2002 received 4 81,543.29 from the sale of merchandising and as<br />

commission on the sale of merchandising. The final statement with the publication<br />

partners – the publishers Ludion, Lannoo and Stichting Kunstboek – will be published<br />

at the end of 2003. The expected revenue (based on sales figures as at<br />

28/02/03) total 4 148,736.11.<br />

Other revenue<br />

4 937,287.68 or 3.45% of the total budget was obtained from other revenue.<br />

The sale of exclusive productions and nocturnes to organisations and businesses generated<br />

4 334,183.25. In total, BRUGGE 2002 vzw recovered 4 259,411.70 in expenses.<br />

Thanks to a good income spread we received 4 181,620.94 in financial revenue during<br />

the entire period from 1999 to 2003.
