I would say the question is 28mm biased.
2500 28mm would be several large armies, in 10mm it's a couple of corps, so it's a scale thing again...

I started doing the sums on my old H&R Napoleonics.
120 men per battalion, 12 battalions per division (24 per Corps) and you're there.

I asked about the maximum number of figures on the DMW facebook page where Jasper also posted this.

Also, something I did not see mentioned before is that one of the raffle prizes is a 10mm starter army from our gracious hosts. Fingers crossed...

For smaller scales like 2 or 3mm and even to an extent with 6mm you might need to think in terms of blocks rather than figures.

Certainly if someone has a decent sized collection in 6mm or 10mm then 3,000 figures might not be all that big a number compared to in you were looking at 28mm. Though given what wargamers are like with figures even in 28mm it wouldn't be that hard to build up 3,000 figures over the years.
