I believe it was during 2020 that a bunch of k-pop fans reserved tons of seats at a rally and embarrassed the admin by having a pretty empty venue. Maybe it happened later, but that’s how I remember it.
Did they actually embarrass them or did the cameras focus on the filled areas and then the administration points to the number of registrations as "proof" that it wasn't empty?
That's pretty much the outcome I expect from this. :(
For anyone curious, there are likely going to be no/few bleachers. This seems to be mostly a standing event.
So this won't lead to "empty seats" in the sense that there are a bunch of actually reserved spots that nobody shows up to, but rather that they'll probably just over-count the number of expected guests, and maybe leave a bit more of a gap behind the barriers than they otherwise would have, which could just make the crowd look sparser compared to their predictions.
I'm guessing that (n)867-5309 is tapped out... 🤣
(FYI: it's worked like a dream for me at pretty much every "enter your phone number to use your available points" moment, from gas to groceries and more. Have fun!)
