(16) The actual figures which were recorded were based on ticket sales and do
not provide an accurate account of the actual number of people who visited the
Olympic Museum. For example, "family" tickets could be purchased and no record
of the number in the family was noted. Similarly, no record was kept of the "VIPs"
and "helpers (such as Queensland Rail personnel, service clubs - such as Rotary
or Lions). Actual ticket sales were as follows: Adults - 2,625; Children - 1842; Fa
mily - 1348, School - 8,390; Total - 14,195. The total estimate of 20,000 plus is ba
sed on the average "family" ticket comprising 4 persons; plus an allowance of 35-
40 persons per town who had "free" access.
