sixers need to put a counter on the website that counts the tickets sold in the lead up to the game. obviously there will be an instant amount from the season ticket holders etc.
i reckon 5000, give or take 100

Would cost money to set up with no real benefit. Have never seen an NBA club bothering to do it. I don't think people think "ticked over the 5,500 mark - sweet, let's buy tickets" they go to the game for specific events (e.g., Smyth's last game) or because the team is doing well, or whatever.
Old timer probably had more to do with 800 scouts families being there than the juniors not playing.

There's a lot of good reasons to get down to watch the boys.
Would be great to see the stands packed

im not saying there isnt good reasons to go, thats why i have a season ticket i just want to see the game. the idea was more just for knowing how packed its going to get. im aware it would be costly and for no real benefit but it was more of a 'id be interested to know' however i dont expect them to do it just to make me happy nor was i saying it would be cost effective. just popped into my head at the time.

Game's on the tele so theoretically that would keep a few people away, although I've read evidence that suggests it doesn't seem to make much difference in practise.

Doesn't help that the Baseball and Soccer are also on.
