They were called the groundlings who got in cheap on condition they stood through the performance.
People who stood and watched plays in historical contexts, particularly in ancient Greece and during the Elizabethan era, were often referred to as the audience or spectators. In Elizabethan theaters, those who stood in the pit to watch performances were called "groundlings." They typically paid a lower admission fee and were known for their lively and sometimes rowdy reactions to the performances.
Records in diaries and so on suggest that people at Elizabethan theatre performances, which presumably includes performances of Shakespeare's plays, ate apples and oranges, hazelnuts and gingerbread. They could get beer in bottles.
The Battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861, which was the first major battle of the civil war, had spectators. See http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/bullrun.htm, " On the day of the battle, carriages filled with spectators eager to see the Confederate defeat flocked from Washington to the battle site"

Your teacher has misinformed you if you think that all of the performances of Shakespeare's plays during his lifetime took place at the same time. Performances at the open-air "wooden Os" like the Theatre, Curtain, Rose and Globe took place at 3:00 p.m. because they relied on the angle of the sun being right to illuminate the stage and not dazzle the eyes of the spectators. But many performances of the plays took place indoors in people's homes, halls and palaces even before the company acquired a permanent indoor theatre, the Blackfriars, in 1608. Performances indoors could take place any time and often were held in the evening.

The Globe Theatre could hold approximately 3,000 spectators. It featured a variety of seating options, including the open courtyard for standing patrons and tiered seating for wealthier audience members. This design allowed for a diverse audience to enjoy performances, making it a popular venue during Shakespeare's time.
An audience.
The spectators to the wrestling matches came from the village and all of the neighbouring villages.
Between 1599 and 1613. They were performed at the Globe, and most probably around midday as performances during the night were not possible to see, as there was no electricity for lighting. Hope that helps:) the original answer someone wrote something silly :)
In 1592, specific attendance figures for Shakespeare's Globe Theatre are not well-documented, but the venue could hold around 3,000 spectators. Popular performances could attract large crowds, with estimates suggesting that thousands might visit in a week, particularly during the summer months when more plays were staged. However, without precise records, it's challenging to provide an exact number for any given week in that year.
