It's the number of TICKETS sold to that game, they don't count the number of people that pass through the turn-styles, they just cound the number of tickets sold.
The diff. in tickets sold and number of people who show up is made up by people who buy season tickets and don't go to every game, people who buy a ticket at the begining of the year and don't get a refund (if there is such a thing) etc. etc.
so you're friends guess that it was 2k more people at this game than last is correct.
How many people bought tickets and didn't show up....i don't know, but that's why the box office number sounds high.
