Seats Quotations | Page 4

Of 280 seats we need, I have 63 committed. That's almost 25 per cent.

We hope to average 3,300 seats per game, which means that on different occasions we will have to have sell-outs. But I believe we'll be trending closer to 4,000 than 1,000.

We hope that fans will take their seats a little earlier than usual because they aren't going to want to miss this.

We believe an efficient and open market benefits all entities: the teams, the venues, the artists, the promoters. They'd rather have someone sitting in the seats than have empty seats. An empty seat is lost revenue in concessions, parking and merchandise.

Everything around the Games is not as positive if there are empty seats in the building.

Every inspection provides an opportunity to save a life. Last year in Texas alone, our technicians conducted more than 500 inspections and 21st donated more than 380 brand-new seats. We like watching those numbers rise, not the one that says more than 80 percent of seats are improperly installed.

The pool was almost like a theater. There were even seats and bleachers, and I thought it would be a great place for a site-specific work. I would take dancers and videotape their movements in the water. Then I would re-project the video back into the pool. ... That's when I came up with the working title 'Aqueous.' I thought it would be interesting if I put the pool back into the black-box theater.

My dad was a diehard fan, ... We had season tickets from when I was about 5 to about 12 years old. I used to go to a couple of games a year. I still remember where the seats were, too, 15-yard line, on the scoreboard side, under the awning. So if it rained or whatever, we were always underneath.

More often than not, it's a small scam. Seats aren't where they're supposed to be, or they're not as close (to the playing field) as what they told you. They can plead (ignorance) pretty easily.

It isn't so much the absolute price of oil, as it is the increasing price, ... If we sell seats based on $50 oil and then fly people at $65 oil, obviously it's not going to be good for earnings.
