What we assumed
- “More than 50,000” is recorded as 50,000.The station gives no exact count, so the floor is the safest reading.
Sanity check
Consistent with a separate ABC7 report of 54,000 tickets sold; tickets exceed people because some visitors hold more than one. The count covers Worlds and Pokémon XP together, not the tournament alone.
