These are community estimates with medium confidence. Dailies and weeklies are well cross-referenced across sources, but the exact monthly event total and the paid pass breakdown show some inconsistencies between third-party guides. Redeem codes are not included in the monthly total because they are irregular (roughly every 2-3 months) and their amount varies. Treat the range as a realistic guide, not a guaranteed figure.
