I agree that some season ticket holders wont be able to go to every match but how do you know that they count season ticket holders seats even if they arent used ?. Everything is computerised at the turnstiles now, so they can easily count the number of people going into the ground for a match. Season tickets are also transferable and usable by other people now, so if someone isnt going, the seat can still be used by a friend or relative. Also if seaon ticket holders let the club know they are not going, the club can resell the seat to someone else for that particular match. Really therefore there is no reason why there should be empty seats next year and I dont remember seeing many last time around.
