Clearly it's someone attending on their ones (no problem at all), or someone who has friends/family in the same block or stand and just wants to be near them, also no problem.
This!
Hoping to sit between two other billy no mates in the hope of finding a football buddy?
As French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre once said: 'Hell is other people with access to the Albion ticket exchange'
FFS I'm feed up with ticketing systems that do this, just think about your comment. Three seats together, two mates want to sit together so they click on two seats next to each other, then are told their selection is invalid, as one of the three seats is now a single seat, which the ticketing system doesn't allow.
I once bought a pair of tickets either side of a single, like the scenario above. When we turned up the bloke in the middle refused to move! Absolutely bonkers.
Did he play for Marseille?
I moved for a couple against AEK and look how that turned out never again
Especially if that conversation goes straight through his ears rather than in front or behind him. Possibly interspersed with the question "I hope we're not annoying you- would it be easier if we swapped? every three minutes or so.I have always found the one in the middle will move in that situation - and if not immediately, then a loud conversation with your mate across the middle seat usually elicits a “do you want to swap seats” from the guy stuck in the middle.
That is indeed bonkers. I have tickets with 2 other family members and a good friend. One of my sons doesn't have a season ticket but goes when he can and numerous times, kind people have moved one seat along. It is a very unkind and odd attitude to not move, especially splitting a young child from his father.
