I capped off the weekend by getting Shapo to sign my chapeau.

Friday was definitely sparse as you say and that has a lot to do with the early start on a weekday - that scheduling needs to be rectified in future events. Saturday was much better attended and Sunday was a fantastic crowd with all things considered.
The world group rounds are always better attended than these playoffs simply because the competition is better. Had India been a 'sexier' draw you'd see more of the casual tennis fans come out and improve the attendance figures for sure.
