Festivals : capacit\u00e9 d\u2019accueil versus affluence cumul\u00e9e \u2013 comprendre (enfin) les chiffres<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pourquoi ces \u00ab records \u00bb font tourner les t\u00eates<\/h2>\n

Chaque saison, les communiqu\u00e9s rivalisent : \u00ab 60 000 personnes par jour \u00bb, \u00ab 240 000 festivaliers \u00bb, \u00ab 500 000 litres de bi\u00e8re \u00e9coul\u00e9s \u00bb\u2026 Autant de chiffres\u2010chocs repris par les m\u00e9dias, les marques et le public. Pourtant, additionner les entr\u00e9es quotidiennes ne refl\u00e8te pas le nombre de personnes uniques.<\/p>\n

Exemple 1 : un grand festival metal fran\u00e7ais<\/h3>\n

Un c\u00e9l\u00e8bre rendez-vous breton du metal annonce 60 000 personnes par jour sur quatre jours, soit 240 000 entr\u00e9es. La capacit\u00e9 officielle \u2013 valid\u00e9e par les pompiers et la pr\u00e9fecture \u2013 est pourtant limit\u00e9e \u00e0 60 000 personnes en simultan\u00e9. Impossible donc d\u2019en accueillir 240 000 \u00e0 la fois : c\u2019est bien la m\u00eame foule compt\u00e9e quatre fois. cnews.fr<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Exemple 2 : un temple \u00e9lectro belge<\/h3>\n

Sur deux week-ends de juillet, un gigantesque festival EDM revendique 400 000 spectateurs. Sa capacit\u00e9 ? 200 000 par week-end. L\u00e0 encore, le chiffre cumule les six journ\u00e9es d\u2019ouverture : un pass week-end = deux entr\u00e9es comptabilis\u00e9es. en.wikipedia.org<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Exemple 3 : un mastodonte californien<\/h3>\n

Au printemps, le festival californien le plus m\u00e9diatis\u00e9 accueille 125 000 personnes chaque jour pendant deux week-ends. Les communiqu\u00e9s parlent donc de 250 000 festivaliers\u2026 sans pr\u00e9ciser qu\u2019il s\u2019agit d\u2019entr\u00e9es cumul\u00e9es. browndailyherald.com<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Exemple 4 : l\u2019incontournable rassemblement pop-rock britannique<\/h3>\n

Outre-Manche, un \u00e9v\u00e9nement affiche 210 000 participants pour cinq jours ; c\u2019est la capacit\u00e9 maximale du site. Ici, le chiffre correspond \u00e0 des billets uniques et non \u00e0 une somme, montrant qu\u2019il est possible d\u2019\u00eatre transparent\u2026 et de battre des records r\u00e9els. ofcom.org.uk<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Exemple 5 : un festival hexagonal tout public<\/h3>\n

Dans l\u2019Ouest de la France, un grand rendez-vous multi-genre annonce \u2248 250 000 spectateurs sur quatre jours alors que sa jauge journali\u00e8re tourne autour de 65 000. L\u00e0 encore, une personne munie d\u2019un pass 4 jours est compt\u00e9e quatre fois. finistere.gouv.fr<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
