2005 - Attendance figures that count tickets sold, not turnstile clicks, make it hard for fans to reconcile what they hear with the empty seats they see
The NFL traditionally has permitted a team to announce whatever attendance figures it chose, including no-shows. However, the league distributed a memo this month encouraging teams to limit their announcement to tickets sold. “When no-shows become a significant factor,” the memo read, “clubs should respond factually to inquiries from the media.”

After living in the SF Bay area for a long time I have friends that are season ticket holders for the 49ers. They are feed up with the NFLs antics and used to be able to sell tickets for specific games in the secondary market. This season they can’t even sell them at a heavily discounted rate.
