Note: Mets sell Four Million Tickets

by Matthew Cerrone on August 26th, 2008 at 11:22 am

The Mets announced yesterday that they have sold over four million tickets in a season for the first time ever.

that is awesome…it is…that said, i have been to several games this season, and, when they announce that night’s attendance on the scoreboard, according to my eyeballs, the number is rarely ever close to how many people had actually been in the building…

…not that this matters…i mean, four million tickets sold is four million tickets sold…but, i’d be curious to know how many people actually passed through the turn-styles – because as a fan who wants the crowd to be loud and passionate, actual bodies in the building is a far more important number to me than how many people paid, but maybe didn’t show…
