On average, how many fans do attend concerts or festivals with NO playing? Barney says (in 316) they play for over 20000 fans. At Tara Schevenko in NY, it under 1000 in 1981.

In London, they could attrack 20 000 people on their own.
They filled the Brixton Academy 3 times in a row in 2001.
In the US, the Aragon is 4700 places, so if they sold out, you'll have your idea.
Biggest crowd must have been the Robbie Williams support in Koln in 2001 (2002?)

I guess theres more fans in the dance/ techno field than the Cult/Punk/Goth music.

And they never quite made it to the States, right as the States was buying into the post-punks.
In Sydney at the BDO they played infront of 50000 people. Mind you not all of them came to see the order. A couple a days later at the Hordon Pavillion they pulled about 5000.
would it made a difference that Americans got Punk/goth like JD? Just to think of it; if they toured US, punk music would be popular, erm just a thought.
We were 50,000 fans at Reading 98 jumping to World In Motion, you can see it on the stage screens, nobody gave a shit for the other bands, the 90% of the people were there for New Order...

Apart from the first time they played the Electric Ballroom in August 1979, when there were 1200 present, and the Lyceum gig in 1980 that had over a thousand. The Good Mood club in Halifax in 1979 attracted one spectator, who left during Wilderness (!), and the final show at Birmingham High Hall was to about twenty people.
