Is PIAF in trouble?

The new look Perth International Arts Festival has hit all kinds of delays over recent months. But the programme of events published and distributed in recent weeks promises some exciting performances and spectacular events.
I certainly hope I'll be able to attend more than a few performances throughout PIAF's run, but this wouldn't appear to be a view shared by many visitors to this site. The current on-line poll is asking visitors how many PIAF events they expect to attend in the New Year. At present 50% of respondents don't plan to see anything at the Festival.
Is this figure representative? A survey of visitors to the site earlier this year:
http://cygnus.uwa.edu.au/%7egmalcolm/cgi-bin/survey/survey.cgi?action=VIEW&filebase=feedback
indicated that about 90% of respondents attended both professional and amateur theatre. Is PIAF a special case?
If you're not planning to see anything at PIAF, why?
Cheers
Grant

Simple (?too simple) reason why many poll respondents are NOT planning to attend any/many PIAF events -MONEY or to be more precise lack thereof!
Absolutely accurate as far as I'm concerned!!!!!!!!
