World Expo attendance reached 30 million on the 82nd day of the fair. The organizers expect attendance to be above 400,000 people per day from now until the Expo ends on October 31. This means the Expo will likely achieve the 70 million visitors that was predicted by the organizer before the event began. It took 36 days for attendance to reach 10 million, 59 days to top 20 million and 82 to hit 30 million. After the Expo started, daily attendance was around 300,000 and there were concerns whether the predicted 70 million could be achieved. Since July 5, daily attendance has averaged 440,000, during a period with frequent thunderstorms and high temperatures. Saturdays have been the busiest day at the Expo. The daily attendance record was set on Saturday, July 17, when over 550,000 people turned up, the Shanghai Daily reports.
