Official figures of attendance
Ahoy mates, glad to meet you all there at pyratecon...we've got the figures for attendance...
finaly ticket sales 1800
parade attendance 2700
parade attendance figures come from city official's estimates based on number of blocks. We spanned 6 blocks for the parade!

I'm impressed by the number of ticket sales. No wonder the vendors room was packed at times (gotta get a bigger room).
Does "parade attendance" mean who marched in the parade (in which case where did 900 more pirates than bought tickets come from), or does it mean how many spectators were watching the parade?
Thanks,

Lots of "non-ticket-holders" jumped into the parade. Our intention was to bring some locals into the event and it looks like it worked! Next year will include a bigger vendor room (hopefully only one big one instead of two). We're still crunching numbers and recovering plus we want to give everyone a chance to recover from PyrateCon2008 before we start hyping 2009's big event. . . .so stay tuned!

...and I'll bet they didn't count the spirits of Pyrates past - there were many in Pyrates Alley to be sure!
Not to mention the well wishes of our mates who were busy plundering elsewhere!
