A sell-out performance at the Gaiety means your business’ advertising being viewed by approximately 700 people. Over the course of 8 performances, this could equal roughly 5,600 people! That isn’t even including all the show advertising and publicity (banners, social media, flyers, posters, public stalls/events, billboards, etc.) in the run up to the show.
