Thanks you both. Judging by the very full first answer, I probably hadn't made myself clear! The only term which was causing a problem was the exact meaning of "EN flux". The rest was just for context. Each marquee can only accommodate a certain number of people, numbers in/out have to be controlled (for safety regulations and sheer lack of space). There is one entrance and one exit in each marquee.

Explanation:
Nikki,

flux is translated as flow in all instances.

"Capacité :
- (en flux)
- une entrée + une sortie ; gestion de flux de visiteur

For your second question, I would suggest :
a visit from arrival to departure, (literally, an entry/a visit + a departure) or, depending on context : a ticket and a ride
; management of the flow of visitors.

For your first question, I would add some more structure for it to make sense in English:
Capacity : (in terms of flow of visitors)
-

I hope it helped ! Bonne chance !
Cynthia
