Scary time to be a Blazer employee :MARIS61:

 

[Nikolokolus]

Are these figures actual attendance or just ticket sales? Somehow I suspect those months of "sellouts" that the Blazers kept touting when there were tons of empty seats might be inflating the numbers.

I always interpret 'sold out' to mean the Blazers sold all their tickets, not how many people walk through the turnstiles.

What's a team supposed to do if they sell the ticket and someone doesn't go?
