Good article here on how much the difference between "tickets sold" on "attendees" actually is at some clubs.
Wonder how easy it would be to do something similar in Scotland.

You need total tickets sold for Tax reasons, and total attendance at the game for Police, emergency and Safety reasons.
This seems to clear up what people on here have always griped about with other teams attendance figures.
It appears it is what figures the journo asks for is what's printed, hence sell out with loads of empty seats!!!

Prior to that we always counted attendees. At the time there was about a 10per cent difference between the two numbers. I don’t know if that difference has changed now.

The way tickets are sold has altered, as now the majority are sold in advance by season or web. Clubs are entitled to count those fully. It is only really airlines who are reliant on a different model. The only fan value I can see is when you have the Arsenal scenario of frustrated waiting lists. But again that is more about overall numbers rather than specific games. I am pretty sure the club will have a good grasp on how dates, days, TV and times impact crowds.
There is an underlying trend of people not showing up for things , as restaurants are finding to their cost.
