Where does ESPN get their attendance information?

No way.  Even including PSL owners there's no way 95% of tickets were sold yesterday.  That's what the Panthers reported to the League and where ESPN gets their information.

PSLs, then they put up the single game tickets and they pre-sell those. That’s how it was designed to operate.  It’s why the games are never “blacked-out” locally.

Per NFL policy, a game cannot be televised locally if 85% of tickets are not sold.

They sold 95%. It’s just no one showed up.

Still something very fishy there and I'm not on a boat in the ocean.  I think someone hit the nail on the head with "distributed" tickets, i.e. charity.  They can donate 5,000 tickets to a corporate sponsor or charity and not sit on those tickets.  I think they are on the hook for any tickets on hand. 

I bet PSL holder rate is nowhere near 100% and the single game seats sold probably were a blip.  Again, fuzzy math.

There were not .45 cents tickets.  As with most things on social media, that was made up.  

They were extraordinarily cheap, but not 45 cents.

That .50 per ticket went viral. It even hooked a couple small time writers and I had a couple friends text it to me. Shows how fast fake info can spread if people want to believe something.
