6. I am skeptical in a different way

To me the thing that doesn't compute is that appeared to be an open-ended amount of tickets. Therefore it seems perfectly logical that even though there was some viral effort to request tickets among that 800,000 tickets requested there must have been at least 20,000 real requests of people that would show up.

If they cut ticket allocation off at 20,000 that would make sense but apparently they didn't. They were planning for an outside show as big as the inside one.

Which leads me to believe that the requests by the faithful probably topped out at @ 6500. If that is true then Trumpy has huge problems - simply stated the fools buying his bullshit is getting thinner by the day.
