I sit not too far from there and have family members in there, and it’s become very apparent that despite being officially sold out and with a waiting list for people to get in that area, that people are just buying these cheap season tickets and not turning up to most of the games.
At first we thought it was the holidays, etc. but barring the opening games there’s been around 20-30 seats just left empty in that area. I counted 6 seats empty seats in a row together in the last game.
I think it was @indeedido who previously highlighted the cheapness of these tickets in that area could lead to this problem of people just buying them and if they only turn up half a dozen times they’ve lost nothing. While people who would genuinely want to go to the games have to buy tickets in expensive areas of the stadium while they wait for seats to become available.
I hope the club start monitoring ticket usage in that area, as I know other clubs like Man City and Brentford do at their respective stadiums.
