i dunno if youre overestimating, but id prob guess yes. considering they were giving away verve tix (1/2 price tix were available night of), i cant imagine MBV is going to create that much more buzz. I think Roseland might even be bigger than the WAMU theater (but i could be really wrong on that one).
wamu: "The WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden, which seats between 2,000 and 5,600 for concerts"
roseland: "The venue according to its website can accommodate 3,200 standing (with an additional 300 upstairs)".
i'm thinking that the capacity for the verve was at wamu's higher end, since they had a pit instead of seats. so it appears that the verve @ wamu held more people then mbv @ roseland will, but not by a huge amount. and TM was offering half-price verve tix several days before the show, i remember that i got an e-mail and pulled up a pair of sec 300 row A.
