There did seem to be small patches around the place, but they filled by about 3-4 songs in, that photo is taken during Last man standing - the first song when there were still people arriving to the venue.

I've been to many 'sold out' shows to find empty seats scattered around the place, these can often be explained by some companies that get allocated free batches of complimentray tickets and never use them, other unofficial ticketing sources that didnt sell/touts etc etc

So, judging for example for Croke park id guess somewhere around 79.000ish would of been there, and MK2 seemed to have more at it than MK1 as the side bits of the hill were more covered on the 2nd night.
