I should have posted this earlier but I have been wicked busy all weekend.
I got curious so I sent an email asking outright. proposed the question as if my friends and I were comparing ticket prices and wondering if they were in order, and thus representative of sales.
I got the following reply "I don't even know how those numbers were assigned so don't try and figure it out. I can safely tell you there will be far more than 46,000 at the festival." That is copied directly from my email. No truncation. Aside from a standard signature, that is the WHOLE answer.
So, take that as you will. It was very concise. As you know I am a long poster and I was expecting a little more. But oh well. Maybe that's the truth. Maybe they are just trying to discourage people trying to guess ticket sales. I thought maybe I got the rebuff because the email I sent from was "Suchandsuch Media" which refers to design/media but then how can that be guessed?
Whatever. I'm rambling. From the horse's mouth, don't bother, there is no meaning. Whether you believe that or not is up to you.
Ordered the first minute they went on sale (after the earlybird sale) on February 3rd. I'm wondering if I missed Tier 2 by 15 tickets....anybody have a Tier 2 number?
i got my tier 2 in december in the presale. i was 3517 & 3518.

I don't know my ticket # by heart yet...but by the way the other things are being said here. I think the number definitely is in order of purchase...with the exception of VIP and Payment Plan tickets, which are a reserved block in the higher numbers. So that means if any GA tickets get up to 55-60k then it will be really close to selling out. VIP are the very tail end (I don't know how many VIP tix they would sell before 'selling out' of them) but probably 77,000 or 78,000 - 80,000. And Payment plan starts at 60 or 65,000 and goes til VIP, or turns into GA if the regular GA ticket numbers run out. Make sense?

I actuallyhave 2 tier 2 tix...7000 something...there at home and 2 tier 3 i think at 18000 something.
my theory (not that it matters) - general purchases of tickets (not VIP, not comp, not payment plan) are somewhere in the low 50,000s. Payment plan tickets start around 70,000 and VIP starts somewhere in the 70,000s as well. Comps start in the 83,000s. We won't know for sure based on ticket numbers, but assuming a few thousand payment plans and a few thousand VIPs, it will be around 60,000 people there.
of course, i'm probably completely wrong. that's just how it appears from all the responses.
