The Nats use dynamic pricing for their tickets. And they use Stubhub. It’s not clear to me why extra Season ticket holders would drive down prices. Those tickets are being sold on the secondary market either by the Nats or by a plan holder. Plus a person actually having a ticket makes them more likely to go.

Also, the Attendance number is based on ticket sales, not turnstile clicks.

Essentially alot of non fans/ticket brokers or non diehard fans bought 2020 season ticket plans in order to get WS tickets to either go to or make a profit.  Their plan is to sell their season tickets either as a block or to individual games (in order to recoup their cost or make profit) which will flood the resale market driving prices down.

In terms of Attendance number, it's the look test.  It may say sold out but if the stadium is half empty then it's a half empty stadium.
