Why so many empty seats ? (2 Viewers)

[Saddlebrains]

Didn't somebody say that it is practically impossible to sell all the seats up there due to the layout

It was, but they've reconfigured loads of shit since Frasers came in solid be very surprised if that's still the case

that has been said in the past but I've not seen any more detail. How many seats are on that balcony?

Premier Lounge capacity is 1,080 for dining, the Mahou Lounge is 72 (assuming everyone is seated but unlike Premier Lounge I don't think you'd necessarily need seating for every person in the Lounge), you've then got the balcony street bar, no idea on the capacity of that.

Pretty sure there's boxes up there as well isn't there?

I sit up in the balcony. They don’t have capacity to offer enough hospitality packages to fill the seats up there so there are always empty seats, as they won’t just sell the seats due to the logistics of separating from hospitality.

It’s a shame from a revenue generation point of view but great if you are up there as there is loads of room!

it has to be a configuration thing as surely you wouldn't get anything through all the stages of planning with a plan that doesn't allow access to the number of people there are seats for.

we're having new offices built at the moment and the planners query every tiny detail, don't see how you could miss something that big.

Fall out?

That may be the case, but if i was the safety manager, i would want to know how many people were in the stadium!

Who says they don't know? Everyone enters via a turnstile with ticket or season ticket. So they will know. But the published attendance figure has to include all tickets sold and not who turned up

not sure what use that would be. if there was an incident they wouldn't be counting people out.

You've gotta love people trying to find fault with us getting c. 28k home fans through the doors while we're sitting in the bottom half and got pasted last week.

Affordable game but have no interest in going to this one.

Well I guess you would have to factor in the air fare!

If we want DK to keep prices low for similar games in future, then it really is up to our fans to turn up or else we can't really complain if he changes tack in future. Last season our fans did up for our cup games, so hopefully he will do likewise this season.

Be a I've heard Derby give away a huge number of tickets in the community, and have special deals such as free ST when you lease a car. Don't know how much of that is true. You could probably discount them anyway.

I didn't realise that every single club in the Championship has a higher average attendance than Bournemouth.

Hardly surprising given they have a capacity of less than 12k as far as I know.

We won , people have families, you spend your time counting seats at the CBS look up Pornhub if life is that bad .
Or pop into your local for a beer and talk to people.Good luck .

Out of all of the ridiculous threads and comments over the past 10 years… this is the one that made you feel that you had to create an account
