Dew Tour Sets Attendance Record in Ocean City

OCEAN CITY, MD — The Dew Tour’s inaugural stop in Ocean City saw the highest attendance numbers of any of the tour’s events since its first in 2005, and it is being touted as a resounding success by resort and tour officials.

An estimated 73,000 people came through the Pantech Open’s Boardwalk entrance during the four-day-long event, setting an attendance record, and Demoflush statistics — culled from the number of times toilets are flushed in town — estimate a figure of more than 320,000 were in town during the weekend, a 7 percent increase over last year’s corresponding dates.

“We really couldn’t have been happier with the event, and that’s a sentiment from everbody involved,” said Dew Tour General Manager Chris Prybylo. “It was just packed from start to finish, and we certainly had great success with everything we were able to control.”
