All I know is if I wanted to attend a Trump rally but thought there were going to be 500,000 or 1,000,000 people vying for 35,000 seats, I’m pretty sure I’d pass. So, to say they didn’t affect turnout is absurd.
Oh, I agree it affected turnout, but I think it was more changing the date, protestors and COVID that affected attendance. BOK seated 20k. I wouldn't have gone unless the weather was awesome, had some beer around, didn't have to wear a mask, there were a ton of chicks in skimpy clothing and reserved tickets were under 30k.
Trump had this small rally of
1,400, but had 20,000 in reservations. There is always going to be that threshold and it wasn't Tik Tokkers that saved the day here.
On a separate note, as I told Klam, 100k in data points to keep building your "digital copy" of a mean, hateful Democrats is invaluable.
BOK seats 20, but with the SRO I would imagine packed would be more like 25k (if the Firemarshal allowed that many)
Firemarshal said tickets 6,200 scanned (not including staff, security, VIPS, etc).
Yep on the 4 reasons keeping the crowd size down
-Think the virus kept away a lot, esp the older.
-Threat of violence kept away alot, including families and older.
-Changing the date some.
-Ti Tokkers some.
If pro sports were going on right now and allowed fans, there's no reason to limit them. They'll limit themselves over virus fears.
