Yeah - Valencia has been having ticket selling issues for some time now - has been mentioned quite a bit in various forms of coverage. Their ticket sales were struggling badly long before Alonso's team was excluded from the event and that exclusion was seen by the organisers as a major disaster.
Then of course they had the cobbler making his comeback for a week or so until his neck problems intervened and then Renault's exclusion was so close to the race date that people would not have been able to change their plans I guess.
Lot more going on with the crowd numbers at Valencia than it being the first race after the mid season break.
