Yes, the revenue shared would be based on tickets sold and not actual attendance.
I don't know how Arsenal structure the deals with their in-ground advertising but I suspect it's the television cameras that they're interested in. The images of Arsenal playing get broadcast around the world to a number that makes the 60,000 capacity of the ground itself pointless.
