The seats closer to the front were labeled "premium seating". The people who bought "Premium" seating tickets (3 day) for $120 or w/e get to sit in them. They didn't show up so there were a bunch of empty seats at the front. A lot of people ended up sneaking into them and filling them up later in the event.

it's not a big deal lets not make this drama How is this not a "big deal"? You are paying $15 for 1 day of the event for seats but they don't have enough for everyone. Because you're not paying for a seat, its entrance into a venue. IDK How you can make that argument when the ticket name was "general seating". Because unless your ticket has a seat number corresponding to a specific labeled seat (like tickets to a sports game), General Seating just means You Can Come In But You're Not Special :/ I don't see why it has to mean that. I think it mean more like there are you have a one ticket for seats and can sit anywhere in the general seating area.
Well you can, but if someone's sitting in the chair, you can't kick them out. So get there early and find an open seat.

I can't believe you're actually complaining that there were not enough seats, it sounds like you've never been to any kind of esports event.
"GAME IS DED NO VIEWERS"
or
"I DIDNT GET A SEAT WHY DID THEY SELL SO MANY TICKETS"
are we really gonna do this

I'm going to assume and say Debian bought two tickets.
Also, I wouldn't mind the NASL getting a proper venue in the actual City next time. I think we've shown that we can fill a place. I figured we'd get that amount of people easily.

I was there in toronto, and I didn't have a real problem with seating. I got there t10 mins late, but it was already full.
I still managed to find like random empty seats and I just relocated the chairs around so I ended up sitting in a okay location with my friends.

Agreed. Also, what about the people who buy a ticket and only stay a half day? That should prevent other people who want to come for the second half of the day from getting in at all (because X number of tickets have already been sold)? o.O Sounds silly. I'll speak for myself and my buddies when I say we were going in and out constantly.
I've done that as well with my friends and brothers. We've been to half a dozen SC2 events and we understand the importance of getting to the venue early to get decent seats (because we've been to, like, any crowded place ever >.>) and coming up with a system so that we can take turns getting up if necessary, or if we all need to get up, we understand we might not get our chairs back. It happens, you live with it, and you move on.

Not finding a chair is not a big deal IMO. I have been to so many general admission events and concerts where I couldn't sit down and it was fine. Lesson to be learned is that you don't always get a chair.

Indeed, that's why I bring my own chairs.

Woops, I didn't see your post. Sorry. I guess that is a lot more reasonable.
They still didn't sell premium seating per day though.

No. You didn't read what I said at all. Don't oversell seating tickets. Have seating tickets based on the max chairs in the venue and sell standing room tickets for the rest of the people.

Screw you. If I'm at a concert I want GA because GA is the best. We want to dance and jump around!

I don't think they could have regardless because the premium seats went very fast.

That sounds like an awesome idea, as long as they let you bring your chairs into the venue ^^

They might have because I saw someone sitting on a leafs folding chair (unless they snuck it in?). It was only one person though so I'm not 100% sure. I guess I'll do that if there is any more events in TO.
