Attendance at the Worlds

How does the attendance look on TV?
I think ISU or Staples tried to make the attendance appear bigger by selling more tickets that face the cameras.

I expected Worlds to be a sellout but so far, none of the sessions have even come close to selling out.
There are entire sections that are empty, even in the lower section.
I would guestimate that men's final has been the most well attended so far and that was only about 2/3 to 3/4 full.

As for the flag waivers, Canada is WELL represented.
followed by Japan and France.

Hmm...you do know there is a recession, not just in the USA but all over the World? The only empty seats I noticed on TV viewing were behind the judges just as they have been ever since the judges were caught years ago signaling to one another with their feet by ,I believe, Canadian TV.
