#PyCon2024 had 2,551 in-person attendees and was "sold out”

#PyCon2019 had 3,393 (Checked-in people).

Anyone know why the tickets were restricted to 1,234 fewer in 2024? The venue seemed massive so should have had room.

I'm genuinely curious what the difference was. 48% more seats in 2019 is a big difference.

@glyph @mkennedy @jacob Everything changed.

A middle-school or high-school, for example, has 3 different grades. Covid wiped out two of those for many sports. So now you have zero "experienced" players, no teachers who are "used" to organizing, etc.

I mention youth here because it "trickles up" in everything. I also mentor a FIRST FTC team -- same dynamic. Adult Ultimate: same. Local meetups: just beginning now. Organizers are starting from "approximately nothing" in a lot of these areas...
