Show me a link to it.

 

 

Common sense.

 

They have to for insurance purposes. They know at all times how many people are in that facility. Employees in the offices have to scan in and out and vendors have to enter turnstyles.

It isn't reported for publicity reason, would be my guess. There is a legal limit, a max capacity, and the facility has to be able to prove they don't have too many inside the park. That is why there are turnstiles with counters. Why else would they count people going in and out?

I don't believe the turnstiles have counters anymore. Those hand held things are probably more accurate. I'm sure they keep track of the attendance actual and tickets sold or accounted for, but remember this you aren't going to ever have more people than total of tickets either comped or sold. I don't believe the fire marshall is ever going to have a problem with the amount of people at USCF. As far as vendors and White Sox employees having to "swipe" in, that's pretty routine practice today. I would venture to guess that's more for security reasons than worrying about going over capacity.

Nope, at least when I last worked there, even with the PDA's, the turnstiles still had counters. And when there was someone in a wheel chair, they would go around and we'd still have to turn the counter for them. The PDA's are just to make sure there isn't a duplicate ticket that's inside the building and to stop counterfeit tickets.

They still count. And yes you can have more people then tickets sold or comp'd. Children under turnstyle height don't need a ticket.

And if they are under turnstile height, they aren't going to get counted by the turnstile or anything else.

 

 

Yes they do. Everytime we take our nieces and nephews they walk us around with the stroller and they turn the wheel for each one of us.
