Why so many empty seats ? (2 Viewers)

That shows absolutely nothing . Watch the highlights.

There where a lot of empty seats a few minutes before KO but not once the game started apart from upper tier of main stand but a lot stay inside in the corporate areas

There were two free seats next to my wife, taken by season ticket holders and I have only known those seats occupied twice in three seasons.

There were 2 next to me and 3 in front of me in B22, always someone there, some people got other priorities on Boxing Day

My dad and grandad both went into hospital Christmas Eve and Christmas Day respectively. Sorry about that

Sorry to read this, hope they pull through okay.

Real bugbear of mine - the "attendance" figure should be the number of people in the ground (which they can count at the speed of light by the turnstiles scanning barcodes on tickets and STs), NOT the number of seats they have sold.

Wrong. Go on you tube and look. Plenty of empty seats both ends of posh stand throughout the match . Some in the north stand as well.

I don't need to, I was there.

In North American sport, or at least in ice hockey, it's common to get two figures, actual attendance and paid attendance. Added bonus when someone like Wasps try and inflate the figures paid attendance doesn't include freebies.

Also not uncommon to get a ticket gross figure so you can tell if loads of cut price tickets have been pumped out.

I was down A&E with my dad so that knocked 4 off the gate

There were empty seats. Everybody should move on.

It was a very respectable attendance.
Although for the size of the City we should be full every home match.
Too many top 6 prem supporters & too many with short arms & long pockets.
PUSB.

Not the hundreds which this thread is claiming.

Also - why is that balcony by the Mahou lounge always empty? Is it just overpriced?

I agree this is a problem. Not sure though how it should be marketed. Top price about 1000 a season.
Currently I think it's about £1500??

I think they only do it for 70-odd people if I understood what the ticket office lady said to me the other day when I looked at booking it for Sheff Weds in the cup.

I'm in an end block of the West Stand, which I assume is what is being referred to as the posh stand. Only noticed one empty seat near me, one of the old boys not there. Hopefully with family and nothing more serious.

Other than that all the usual suspects in place. Wish the guy who keeps yelling forward would have stayed at home tbh.

They are not allowed to, they have publish it based on tickets sold, applies to every club.

I thought it was yesterday.
Although reading ADM's final reasoning,it sounds like he has an issue with Wasps level of misinformation?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

My seat was empty because we've been fucking disgraceful for months and I can't watch a football team that cannot defend.

Is this a wind up, if not, I suggest you go and support a different team.

City till I die.
