Not true. Do some of you just pull stuff like this out of thin air and present it as truth?

The Pelicans averaged right at 16,700 per game at 97.0% arena capacity.

Okay then I guess all those games I watched with big sections of empty seats must have been an optical illusion. Must have been that 3% always managing to not sit across from the hard camera pretty much every time.

Good to see the Mavs filled their building to 105.1% arena capacity somehow too.

People buy tickets but don't show up to games = the organisation reports tickets sold and not the actual attendance.

The English soccer club Arsenal are notorious for this; they stay reporting full capacity despite a sea of empty seats @mastermind :sas2:

A Freedom of Information request has revealed that more than 170,000 people bought tickets but did not show up to Arsenal games at the Emirates Stadium last season.

Meh, tickets were sold.

Some clubs, like Chelsea in England, do not have the luxury have claiming sold tickets @SCORCH
And perhaps even more worrying for coach Jose Mourinho was a crowd of only 24,973 at Stamford Bridge, including a distinctly unimpressed owner Roman Abramovich - a miserable turn-out for a Champions League game.
