Where did you get the info that announced attendance isn't tickets scanned? I was at the UM game and I would have guessed it was 2/3 full just by eyeballing it--the most empty section was the student section funnily enough.Announced attendance is the number of tickets distributed, including freebies.
Attendance for Michigan was 10,000.
So, of the 10,000 tickets disributed, it would be interesting to know how many tickets were scanned. 8,000? Was CHA half full? CHA seats 15,056.
I remember a reporter in the past (might have been Dochterman) doing a FOIA, where he got the attendance & scanned ticket info for games. The differerence for some games was large.

Are they Labrador or Golden retrievers?
Inquiring minds….
Interesting, I've been to a lot of games this year and have felt that the official boxscore attendance feels pretty accurate. Usually about 50% full for the buy games and then 75% full for the UM game which is what Iowa is reporting.I thought it was Dochterman who did the story on attendance vs actual tickets scanned; I can't find that info at the moment.
In the meantime, here's a story from Jan, 2010, the final months of the Lick era.
Why don't people attend games at Carver-Hawkeye Arena?
Jan. 13, 2010 2:00 pm
Lots of empty seats can be seen just after Iowa tipoff against Tennessee State Tueday, Jan 12, 2010 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City (Brian Ray/Gazette).
There were echoes at Carver-Hawkeye Arena and not the good kind.
Early in Iowa's basketball game against Tennessee State on Tuesday, one could hear the ball bounce on the court and then hear it again about a second later. A few fans yelled at the officials and individually they were heard loud and clear.
Officially Iowa listed the attendance at 8,021. If you were playing guess the actual attendance, it might include those four numbers but it would have looked like ... 2,810.
"I thought we might have been on the road," Iowa Coach Todd Lickliter said. "No, you can't put that in there ... you'll get me in trouble."
Iowa lists its average attendance at 9,124 through 12 home dates. The attendance includes all tickets sold, although plenty of customers don't make it to the games. My guess is about two-thirds of that number is correct.
Iowa's attendance has dwindled since averaging a sellout in 2001. Iowa's has averaged less than 11,000 tickets sold in each of the last two seasons.

Please count how many seats you see occupied during the game and report back. Thanks
I would be very surprised if it's not a "get in and sit where you can" night.
That's a lot of points. But it looks like they like to run with little defense too. Took the first half -15 and over 85.
Gave the points Saturday too after some consternation. I was surprised it was that easy on an unfamiliar floor. Hopefully it's just as easy tonight.
21-21 to start the 2nd half. And that was 2018.
I have 2 seats mid court piggy back seats NN row 6 and 7 plus a parking pass that will allow you to park in the lot by the Dan Gable statue. I will sell these for a $25 dollar donation to my HWC polar plunge. So all proceeds will go to the Hawkeye Wrestling Club

Dude! That's a great offer. Sadly I'm just seeing it and already got tickets online. Very much appreciated. Merry Christmas.
