Our hometown venue has seen more people through its doors this year than any club other than Terminal 5 in New York, the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. and Ancienne Belgique in Belgium. These numbers don't include stadiums or amphitheaters, but that's not to say this isn't the big leagues: Terminal 5 boasts a capacity of 3,000, and Denver's Fillmore Auditorium (No. 13 on the list) checks in at 3,700. The Pageant can fit a maximum of 2,300 people, depending on the event. The top ten clubs so far this year, below.
- Terminal 5 (New York, NY) 187,781
- 9:30 Club (Washington, DC) 166,955
- Ancienne Belgique (Brussels, Belgium) 163,213
- The Pageant (St. Louis, MO) 119,416
- First Avenue (Minneapolis, MN) 114,761
- Ogden Theatre (Denver, CO) 112,643
- Best Buy Theater (New York, NY) 106,903
- Rams Head Live! (Baltimore, MD) 104,538
- Stubb's Bar-B-Q (Austin, TX) 99,815

There are no other Missouri venues in the top 100 so far this year, though there are eight in Chicago -- more than any other city in the world. It's worth noting that these numbers reflect sales figures reported to Pollstar only.
