JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Theatre is celebrating a big win. According to Pollstar magazine, it’s the fifth most-attended theatre worldwide for venues with 2,000 seats or fewer.
Pollstar, a leading concert industry magazine, released its year-end numbers for 2025. While the Florida Theatre landed at #45 overall among all theatres, it soared to #5 in its class, with more than 184,000 tickets sold this year.

“Being ranked #45 overall is extraordinary, but standing at #5 among our peers shows the passion of our audiences and the strength of our programming,” Kevin Stone said, Interim President and VP of Programming.
Stone added that the 98-year-old theatre continues to play a key role in Jacksonville’s arts scene.
Other top theatres in this category included venues in Dublin, Mexico City, and Belgium. The Florida Theatre’s strong attendance proves that historic venues can still draw big crowds.
