How Many Sellouts Did the Phillies Have at Citizens Bank Park in 2024?

The Phillies wrapped up their regular season home slate Wednesday with a 9-6 win over the Chicago Cubs. They did so in front of 42,428 fans — or at least that's how many paid to be there— a sellout crowd at Citizens Bank Park.

For the Phillies, it was the 47th time in 81 home games that they sold out Citizens Bank Park. Outside of the stadiums that are tourist attractions like Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, most teams would kill for between five and 10 sellouts a season. The Phillies had 47.

The total attendance for the season at Citizens Bank Park was 3,308,638. That marks the second consecutive season with more than three million in attendance — the final regular season attendance in 2023 was 3,052,605 – and ninth time in 20 seasons that Citizens Bank Park has crossed that threshold.

Back in 2010, the final regular season attendance at Citizens Bank Park was 3,777,322, which still remains a stadium record. How can the Phillies top that? If they win their first World Series since 2008, perhaps they could challenge that number in 2025.

There is a reality that Citizens Bank Park was still relatively new in 2010, and after a few years of tremendous success, the season ticket base was built up. The Phillies are still digging themselves out of the hole from not making the playoffs from 2012-2021. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic kept fans from attending games in 2020 and limited attendance for parts of 2021. All those factors should be considered.

Still, Citizens Bank Park is an objectively nice place to watch a game at, and looks even better when the stands are filled. Quite a few people agree with that sentiment, as Baseball Reference estimates that only the Los Angeles Dodgers — who play in a stadium that seats 56,000 fans — have drawn more fans in 2024.
