The attendance at yesterday's opener

Marv Albert started the telecast saying "A sellout crowd of nearly 80,000...". I saw an announced attendance of about 66k.

A "sellout" is the number of tickets sold. "Announced attendance" is the number of people through the turnstiles.

 

I asked my ticket rep a couple years ago, and they told me the Bills report sold tickets, not actual number of people attending, when they release the attendence numbers.

Higher ticket prices, parking, PSLs and season ticket holders required to buy pre-season tickets......

Enter Hi-def TV....Season ticket numbers down significantly. B-)

 

NASCAR is experiencing the same thing. Ticket prices and associated costs are being weighed against Hi-def TV in this poor economy.

That, and the fact that people figured out that watching a bunch of cars go around in circles, with constant cautions, is just not very fun.
