My prediction is a touch over 8k. Then with some good results we could hit 10k next home game.
PAX may be at 9k at the moment, but a fair chunk of those are promo tickets or freebies, some of which just won't be used. I've been offered some at work from one of our business partners - Revera, but turned them down as I don't need them, and hoping someone else will take up the offer.
