Looks great. Official attendance says estimated 500k, but looks like a huge soccer field. Maybe 100k?

Same ol', same ol'. Who - apart from you - gives a toss about the attendance?

Many people care as reflected at all shows...some of us like to know the exact amount of people and what each show grosses(obviously last night was free, unless they were paid privately). I don't know why people are bothered if some of us like to get official figures..it's the same for people who collect all the boots, all the albums, or some who love to post pics after every show...

Fair enough, Brstonesfan. Thanks for saving the "We predicted this" and "It's over™" schtick for another place...

Actually, I'm curious about the attendance too.

What a great run this Ole tour. It's great to see the Stones making such a historic statement.
Just wondering about the lack of fireworks in Cuba. Not allowed?

Attendance wise, Cuba estimated that the grounds could hold 450k. Most of the photos I've seen that were taken from a distance appeared to be using a zoom. The roads bordering the site did appear to be closed off. I think anywhere between 400-500k is probably in the ball park, 250k or less looks like an underestimation to me. But then again, I didn't count heads.
I can't imagine why anyone would want to be on a rail with a crowd of 2k let alone over 400k pressing against them. I had someone tell me I shouldn't go to Cuba because I would be taking a spot on the grounds from a Cuban, even though I had no intentions of being anywhere other than far back on the fringes. If I had gone, I probably would have bought a spot on a terrace or rooftop.
If I remember - the concert was depicted as open to anyone on a first come basis. Anyone willing to put the time in to make the rail should have their coveted foot of space. Although, at any concert I would hope that anyone who has held that spot many times would step back at some point during the concert and let someone who has never had that thrill, test out the real estate on the rail. I'd also hope that people wouldn't complain about the people who don't. For the majority of shows, the Stones have made the rail real estate beyond the budgets of some people who want to be there. When it's affordable and open to anyone who puts in the time to be there - I wish them all luck and the show of their lives, regardless of nationality.
