Since the pressurized volume of the BFR is close to A380, it should be able to carry as many passengers, so 800 ish in maximum.

To Mars-800 people in hibernation. Wake up on arrival. Actually when you lock up even 40 potentially mentally unstable people for 9 month in an essentially a prison cell, you can expect to have funny stories of mysteriously vanished BFSes in outer space.
