I understand besides me is correct and there were only six people in the audience, but "beside me" is wrong, or does it have different meaning?

@tatsuca Well let's do some definitions here.
"Besides me" is a counter for people (excluding yourself)
"Beside me" is referring to people that are close enough to reach out and touch.
Here's an example with both.
"There were only 5 people besides me on the flight back from Tokyo, however 2 of them were beside me in the same row."

"beside me" is referring to the proximity of the people. In this example "beside me" could be replaced with "near me" or "next to me" and still have the same meaning.
"besides me" could be replaced with "other than me".

@beardedbeerbear Thank you. I see. ^^) So there is possibility that there were more than 6 people in the audience including those who are far from, "not beside" me. Am I correct?
