In 1972 1,818 meetings were held and admission fees charged ranged from 30p to 10p at Dublin tracks and from 25p to 15p at other tracks. I have no information as to the number of paid patrons who attended each meeting but the aggregate attendances at all meetings in 1972 amounted to 900,129.

This is a separate question.
