I have first hand knowledge/experience with these types of reports- I've filled them out myself. The data isn't meant to be scientific- its a collective courtesy by the promoters to share the data that they want to present. There's virtually no auditing process by Amusement Business/Billboard, or Pollstar. I have a professional working knowledge of virtually all of the venues Fleetwood Mac are playing on this tour. I can tell when seating capacities are fudged.
But, hey, don't just take my word for it. If you think that a half-curtained venue in a major market is a runaway sellout success, don't let me stop you.
