How is mlb attendance calculated

This year, twenty-three teams did. Ballpark Digest highlighted a few of these innovative pass products before the start of the season.

A few examples: St. Season ticket packages are expected to expand even more in seasons to come, including opportunities for more in-demand seats beyond standing room access and upper-level sections. The benefit of these products: guaranteed immunity from price inflation for the most popular games. The most telling evidence available to infer MLB no-show rates are simply the view of the stadium at any given game — several of which have made headlines and social media posts this season for their grim emptiness.

Louis Cardinals -- the team with the best record in the National League -- in town, the Dodgers announced a crowd of 44, on a day the stands appeared closer to half-empty at the 56,seat stadium. They also announced attendance of 47, for a game three days earlier against the Cincinnati Reds, but huge chunks of the right-field pavilion and the new luxury seats beyond third base were unoccupied, with blocks of empty seats sprinkled throughout each level of the stadium.

The Angels announced sellouts for each game during the Aug. The Times no longer routinely includes attendance in sports stories, because of the discrepancies between actual and announced attendance. 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.

Major League Baseball has issued no such directive to its teams. The Dodgers declined to say how many tickets were used -- or how many unused -- for that late July homestand. They also declined to provide a no-show figure for this season, or for last season.

The Angels announced attendance of 38, that day, meaning the actual attendance was close to 23, That figure was not particularly troubling, Mead said, because the game took place on a Tuesday afternoon in April, when school and work commitments can make it difficult for season-ticket holders to use, sell or give away their seats. The large number of empty seats during the games against St. Louis and Cincinnati, he said, simply reflected the reality of playing in the afternoon during a heat wave.

The local teams are on pace to set franchise records in tickets sold, the Dodgers at 3. The teams each won division championships last season and recorded an increase in season-ticket sales this season -- the Angels to a record 28, and the Dodgers to 23, The greater the number of season tickets sold, the greater the number of no-shows, Mead and Greenspun said.
