There is no industry standard for attendance calculations at pop culture conventions. In practice, at least three methods are used:. For example: An individual with two single-day tickets say, one for Friday and one for Saturday , would count as one attendee using the first approach and two using the second and third.
On the other hand, someone with a single four-day ticket would count as one attendee using the first and second methods, but four using the third.
