That's why none of them has a soul. They've sold their souls and they are all souled out.

Every skybox was rented, whether or not it was occupied. The wealthy buy those kinds of things like the Nature Conservancy for preserving our native plutocratic habitats.

If you are asking how many groundlings there were, I doubt anyone bothers to count them.

Most of the tickets are sold to corporations, or groups that give financial support, then of course you have the delegates on the floor. It looked like all the tickets were sold or given out. I am not sure if there are published figures on the seat counts.
