Thanks -you could well be right. But if these tickets are given to a variety of folk who are entitled to complimentary seats, then the ones handed back would surely be random, yet all these are tightly packed together. I am not trying to be pedantic, honestly, just to me it seems strange.
I am rather surprised that a block of seats can be released late on in the process. Why would this be the case, when they presumably are not season ticket holders' seats or else they would not be available. Why are they not available immediately? I am NOT suggesting anything untoward or even...
