If 25% of 'tourists' seats are empty, that's a lot less pies,pints, shirt etc sold.As far as the Club is concerned the tickets have been sold and the event is a sell out. The empty seats are, as you say, down to corporate tickets, resellers and people not bothering to turn up.
The club doesn’t really have any financial motivation to deal with the empty seat issue. Optically, it looks bad and if the Club wanted to deal with it they would have to penalise the ticket owner for non-attendance.
