The way I read it, it's the number of tickets sold or given. Not the number of people who passed the gates. It makes more sense like this, because often it seemed that they were a lot less people in the stadium than what the "official" attendance showed.

>I don't know the situation's details, but it sounds like at least the Expos counted people who actually walked through the door while the Marlins counted any ticket sold. Sounds like a plus for Montreal if that is the case.
