Dodgers Surpass Three Million Ticket Sales
Just like clockwork, and the fastest the club has ever arrived at that level. But don't think that means your job is safe, Marty Greenspun.Bruce Jenkins Reviews The AL West
At one-third in.

The Dodgers are selling a ton of tickets, as usual, but I was shocked at the number of empty seats on Saturday, as seen on TV. There were vasts swaths of unoccupied yellow (field level) seats clearly visible during the game. Seems a bit odd; the Dodgers are having a nice season, and on a nice Saturday afternoon I would have expected a lot more folks in attendance.
The Angels really fill up the Big A, no matter what the circumstances. I was surprised last Tuesday at the # of empty seats, which was the first time this year when there were more than a handful of scattered empties. The stadium looks pretty much full every single night for the Halos.

I dunno about that. We've got a bunch of cheap seats tickets to Angels games this year, and every time we're up in nosebleed heaven, it seems like we've always got plenty of room to spread out. I think the not-showing-up problem is endemic to both clubs.
There was a Times article about this some months ago. I believe that the Angels had a very high % of tickets used, more so than the other L.A. club.
There are always scattered empty seats at the Big A, but usually the field level is pretty solidly filled at least until you get pretty far up the line.
I tend to sit in the 400 level between the bases. There are always some empties, but I would estimate about 80% occupancy.
On Saturday, it looked as though the Dodgers had no more than 50% occupancy in the seats on the field level between the bases. I've never seen that this early in the season at Chavez Ravine, especially on a nice day. Indeed, the box shows 46,561 tickets sold, and there were a lot less than that in attendance. Compare that with Friday night, when over 55,000 were sold (i.e., a genuine sellout).
