people thought it was us squeezing an extra person (our 4 y/o, who did in fact have his own ticket) into the row. His seat was pretty much gone because someone down at the end of the row was taking up an extra seat. Really, really annoying

I mean, I guess if nobody else is sitting there yeah, but don't count on it

Where is he going to fit in a sold-out stadium?

No.

Seats are numbered, so, not without taking someone else’s space, no.

No. "We can squeeze him in". No you can't. Don't. People hate idiots that do

Thank goodness it’s getting more difficult with all the pre-installed chairs

50% of the reason that I buy them

Not next to me. It's too crowded as it is. Tell him to go sit where he's assigned.

Please don't. It makes it a worse experience for others on the row.

No! That would mean you’re trying to cram an extra person into a sold out row that’s already tight.

I have hated this over the years. I would take one of my kids when they were

Maybe every stadium has idiots like this? I don't know because I don't go to

Manti

No. Maybe you can all go to the ROC.

O Gaucho

No. It's that simple. No. People have paid record prices to sit in LES tomorrow. Don't steal part of the space they

Probably better if you go and try and fit in with him in the top of the ROC

But it is still a finite number of seats and they are all sold.

It would not go well for you if you sit by me.

He can sit on one of your laps. Don’t ruin the seating space for others around you.

Hate to pile on (no I don't). Absolutely not.

You can try. You will fail and your neighbors will hate you. Bleacher seats are

Seating is already too tight, please don't try to squeeze in another person.

Sorry to pile on with another post but why do you (original poster) think the

Sure thing! I can't think of any problem with it.

The responses to this thread should be duplicated every week when several people post asking for “one ticket”

Only if he sits on your lap

Let them both go over to the ROC section

Please don’t. There’s hardly much worse than people who do this.

Thanks all. Consensus opinion coming through loud and clear 🙂

Wouldn’t your son rather be in the. ROC with his friend anyway?

blueaussie

Oct 11, 3:48pm

Absolutely, so long as he sits on your lap the whole time or you go down and sit

notaboy

As long as you 3 are all over 5’8” and have a combined weight of <250 lbs

Please don’t do this unless you have a seat for them.It isn’t fair to others

Would it be acceptable to squeeze him in your row on a first class flight if he

NonmormonYfan89

if he has a ticket for that seat then yes, if not, send him to the ROC

CougarLucas

Well the roc gives out more tickets than are in the roc section so yall can

Veep

No. Shove it. No one should have to "squeeze" when they paid for a seat number.

Manti

The ROC was 15% over capacity against K State. Stop whining about one dude in

If this happens, are ushers available to correct this?

Good question. I should've texted the stadium support line that time. I imagine

Have your son join him in the ROC - the more the merrier
