Well I think this can be answered rather simply. Paid attendance, and physical attendance are different things. In a games such as the All-Star Game(s) or World Series, many tickets are given away for one reason or another, so the paid attendance doesn't always reflect the actual attendance.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

I saw the attendance for game 1 of the Japan Series as 36,643, while the Fukuoka Dome holds 48,000. Does that mean 12,000 people didn't give their ticket stubs to the takers? Or had it comp'ed?
During the year, the attendance is always estimated, but during big games (i.e. All Star, and Japan Series) the figure is precise, but always significantly under the stadium's capacity. I can't quite remember the responses from the last discussion. So, what up?
