I was writing this sentence:
Why are there more of them on some nights than on others?
Is is or are correct here? I was told that is is correct, but to me, are sounds better.

You indeed use "are" because "them" is a plural noun.

"Them" is not a noun. And "there is" for plural is non-standard but perfectly common and grammatical, as has been covered many times over on this site. Commented Oct 28, 2013 at 18:55
