NHRA and the tracks never announce capacity for a venue. When they say an event is sold out, they never tell you how many tickets were sold. Without giving the capacity or the number of tickets sold, any claim that an event is sold out is meaningless. The crowd may looked packed but that does not mean it is sold out.
Not that hard. What would happen if I walked up to the ticket window and tried to buy a ticket? If the person said "yes, here's what we have left", not a sellout. If they say "no, we don't have any left to sell you", congrats, you have a sellout.They do have a formula for announcing a sellout, and they don't keep that a secret.

So all you have to do is put only 1,000 tickets on sale and you'd have a sellout.Not that hard. What would happen if I walked up to the ticket window and tried to buy a ticket? If the person said "yes, here's what we have left", not a sellout. If they say "no, we don't have any left to sell you", congrats, you have a sellout.
that would be a big NO ...... am i correct in remembering that you would read attendance figures in the digger, back in 90's?So does anyone know if on the days NHRA has announced a sellout have they turned away anyone ?
