Actually, if you think about it, that's really the only reasonable 
way to account for everyone (it isn't really an accurate 
representation of total attendees, but that's beside the point). 
Otherwise you have to count a 1 day ticket as 1/4 of a person.

Now granted they could just total the number of different names on 
their rosters for a count of attendees, but I see why they do it the 
other way.

Besides, it LOOKS so much more impressive!
