Because if they sold all over the shop they would need to supply stewards for groups of small people all over the place, pretty simple really isn't it!
I hope you guys aren't too wet and cold! Looking forward to the game - might wander into torremolinos tomorrow and see if I can find a bar showing it! Lovely and hot here!
More likely to sale more tickets if people can actually choose where they want to sit, which in turn will pay for the extra stewards . Simples ...
I don't understand the argument about extra cost of Stewards .maybe me just being dim, for instance ,they've already sold 24,000 tickets, as apppsed to the average gate of, say 19,000, surely the extra revenue from the 5, 000 would more than cover the cost of opening up the remaining blocks and providing stewards for said blocks in an attempt to get a full house, rant over ..
