@maddie I am hearing there are around 300 travelling fans to MFC.. its a crazy number for away fixture which is little bit far away.. Can you confirm it?
@shankar ; JSW offices are in Mumbai...so quite feasible that they will " send" 300 employees to watch the game. MUMBAI FC have confirmed 300 tickets sold to BFC
@karenesudhakar2050 ; Average was skewed upwards beacuse of 23000 attendance in last match with Mohun bagan. otherwise mostly it has been around 5000 mark last year. If they can maintain 11000 figure this year, it will be a massive improvement.
Could you expand on that? Are you sure they are not just doing the standard practice of giving tickets away to sponsors or officials so technically it does count towards attendance?
Attendance should be the number of people in the stadium, Complimentary tickets or not. Even the Free Passes are scanned at the entry I hope. In Cricket in England, most of the tickets at stadiums like Old Trafford Manchester or at Lords for members of Lancashire Cricket Club and MCC respectively and various sponsors. Very few are sold to common public. But attendance is counted as full capacity of the stadium. In Mumbai I remember once at old wankhede stadium, just 4000 tickets were sold out of 45000. Rest all were given away to sponsors, complimentary to (Municipal corporators, Police) and various Cricket clubs associated with Mumbai Cricket Association. If they sell those complimentary tickets in Black market, then there is no check. But then stadium was full and attendance is counted as 45000.
