The Globe Theatre was for the exclusive use of the **** Chamberlain's Men which became the King's Men about four years after the Globe was built and ten years before it was burned down and rebuilt. The records of how many attended the performances of plays during this period (some by Shakespeare, some not) are not available so we don't know exactly how many attended. Scholars believe that the maximum capacity of the Globe was 3000 but it is unlikely they ever reached that.Henslowe's records do give an idea of attendance at the Rose and other theatres he owned in the early 1590s. Not an exact idea, because he recorded the receipts which included people paying admission of more than one penny. The Rose was a smaller theatre, but even so the take was much less than capacity. For example, a performance of Marlowe's Dr. Faustus on December 17, 1596 brought in a mere nine shillings. That's only 108 people if they all were groundlings, and so probably the attendance was less. Some performances brought in more money, suggesting that up to 816 people were there.
