THERE WERE ONLY THIRTY THOUSAND AUDIENCE AT THE EMIRATE STADIUM THE LOWEST EVE.

During the EUROPA LEAGUE cup match played between Arsenal and Bate Borisov, played at Arsenal's famous Emirate stadium. But there were only a total of thirty thousand seats occupied by the fans, the Emirate Stadium has a capacity of 60,400 seats. So it was only a half filled stadium, but outside there was notice board stating Stadium full. But why is this so confusing ,so let me explain it here. The tickets are sold very much in advance for each match, and in this particular match Arsenal had already qualified for the next round, that is he group of 32, thirty two clubs ,without even kicking the ball, so it was a half empty stadium. The notice board was not at all misleading in any way here. In truth all the tickets were sold out very much in advance could have been months in advance, so in case the crowds came later there would be utter chaos. Attendance in a football match is always taken from the number of tickets sold for a certain match, and never according to the seats occupied. The real number of tickets sold was 54,648, fifty four thousand six hundred and six hundred and forty eight only.
