I understand, I guess, why people don't want to go to the trouble to calculate this, but I always wish things like this were adjusted for inflation for a more accurate picture. Even so, the advent of premium prices and dynamic pricing will still skew towards the newer shows, and I don't think there is really any way to adjust for that.
On the plus side, the total attendance figure does even things out a bit since it's based on tickets sold and not $$. |
