The audience_ still entering the hallis or are?
are.这里的audience比较强调个体,即观众正（一个一个的）入场
audience的确是集体名词,当强调观众这个整体的时候,后跟单数.
eg.the audience applaud to the musician.

are
集体名词

两者都不错,但这里同意用are更能突出人群感

are
audience (观众)是集体名词
family 有时也课作集体名词
⑴表示“类”的集体名词，常见的有
clothing
furniture
baggage/luggage
jewelry
traffic

machinery

如：
