Attendance Numbers

Post by BeenThereDoneThat »

I was at the Jack tonight with my wife and grandson and we really enjoyed the continued rivalry between the best 2 Jr.B teams in Ontario. I have only one question. There was clearly 1300/1400 fans there tonight. Why was the attendance announced at just over 900. Do they only count paid customers . :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

Does the Jack even hold 1400? I think the number was about right, at the time it was announced. Nothing gained by announcing lower numbers, are there? I'm not sure about gate rules.

When the Icedogs played there they would announce 3150 as a sellout. probably seats around 2700. No nothing gained by announcing lower numbers, just wondering if that number represents ticket sales only.

That's the great attendance debate. Do you count paid attendance? Do you count season ticket holders, in regular season when they're not at the game? Are passes/scouts/media included?

This is the great debate that will never get resolved.
