I genuinely don't see what is wrong with that interview? He certainly doesn't give me the impression that he's "pushing for a move". He's simply stating that he has higher ambitions, as all players should in my opinion.
Assuming with 8k tickets it will be roughly 4k in each of the two tiers and there's only random tickets left in the lower with a few sold in the upper too, so would say around 4k already.
