Why, do we have a habit of buying tickets and not turning up?

The stand has sold out before and there has still been plenty of seats to the left hand side of the sticks empty.

Just cause it sells out doesnt mean that everyone turns up. Try sitting n the left hand side of the stand rather than the scramble for seats down the middle next time and then you will see what im on about.

Because there is unreserved seating they are only allowed to sell 90% (I think) of the seats. It's probably more to do with that than with people not turning up.

With unreserved seating a certain amount of seats need to be empty for safety reasons. Maybe this is the reason?

What is the point of unreserved seating?

it makes it easier for the clubs printing the tickets, and for the fans. it also gets people into the ground earlier, thus spending more dosh at the bar.

I've not picked up my tickets yet so don't know - is East Stand reserved seating? I assume it is.

Yes East and West will be reserved as many of the seats in that stand are taken by season ticket holders. North and South both unreserved.
