In the first two games of the series, the announced attendance numbers were the smallest (27,224 on Tuesday) and third-smallest (28,697 on Monday) non-pandemic announced crowds in the history of Busch Stadium III, which dates to 2006.
But the number of fans in seats was far below those numbers, reportedly reaching a turnstile count of fewer than 13,000 Tuesday, according to a Post-Dispatch report from baseball writer Lynn Worthy.

In a related story seats on StubHub are posted for $1. I have often stated this, that baseball overstates (lies) about its attendance figures, but now these lies can't be hidden. 20,000 people are not getting beer or going to the bathroom.
