Attendance Numbers
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 .

Re: Attendance Numbers
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.BeenThereDoneThat wrote: ↑Sat Apr 01, 2017 12:02 am 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.

Re: Attendance Numbers
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.

Re: Attendance Numbers
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.
