Here are some pictures of our own hospitality area in the South Stand at the Etihad:

Look at the packed vocal area below it, then see the empty seats in the hospitality section above the score/time below and under ‘Etihad Stadium’.
This area is rarely full at the start of games so would ruin pre-match displays, it’s always half empty from about 35-55 minutes and is always one of the first areas to empty at the end of games.
I’ve also posted some of my own pictures of it a few pages ago.
Here’s another one, it’s actually full at the start of a game for once, but with only a handful of people bothering holding up their display cards.

And this is the sort of thing they’re looking at putting at the front of what we thought was going to be a new special vocal stand. It’s simply not the right area for it and there are plenty of other areas they could put more hospitality.
Great post, that perfectly explains one of the issues with putting hospitality seating at the front of a home end.
