Our impact
The show ends. The connections can continue.
We believe the best Jewish gatherings create more than a good night out. They give people a reason to show up, something to share, and an opening to meet someone new. We're measuring what happens in those rooms, who comes back, and which connections continue.

Returning audience
People don't just show up. They come back.
More than 1 in 4
Checked-in tickets at our New York City shows in 2026 were identified by Eventbrite as returning customers.
What began as a live entertainment experience is developing a recurring audience. As The Jewish Dating Game has grown, the share of checked-in tickets associated with returning customers has increased, suggesting that people are finding reasons to come back.
A growing returning audience
Eventbrite marks a ticket as Returning when the purchaser has bought from us before. Figures refer to checked-in Eventbrite ticket records at tracked New York City shows. 2024 and 2026 cover partial calendar years. 2026 is based on 486 checked-in Eventbrite ticket records across 10 performances, January through September 2026.
