The Convention Center says that since kids are not charged admission to the show, they are not counted in the final attendance tally, but some estimates have at least 5,000 kids attending on Saturday.
- Individual Days Records:
- Thursday: 3,000 adults -- 140% increase over 2004, the last time the NC International Auto Show was held at the Raleigh Convention Center.
- Friday: 4,700 adults -- 141% increase over 2004.
- Saturday: 17,000 adults -- 147% increase over 2004.
Organizers are more than happy with the turnout, saying that the attendance for the show has broken all records since the Convention Center opened.
