How Many Fans Will Come Out to See the 46-81 Marlins on Barbie Night?

Trevor from Upper Bowl podcast is our resident Florida guy and sent this over:
Marlins vs. Cubs on a Friday night in Miami. The hottest ticket in town! I checked out the situation and it looks like tickets start at $8, but if you’re feeling adventurous you can spend $11 and upgrade your seats to sit behind the bullpen. If you do the Barbie thing, however, it’s $39, and you get a spot about 20 yards past the 1st base or 3rd base line. $39 x 2 tickets + a $3.50 “per order handling fee,” a $10.50 “per ticket online fee,” and a $5.46 “FL sales tax” comes out to $97.46, so not horrible compared to what you’d pay in an actual baseball town. You get a couple of Barbie jerseys, watch a couple of loser teams slug it out, and throw some pictures on the Gram. Gabe Kapler already put in an order for a slim fit extra small Barbie jersey.
