My friend has two tickets for me and him to be seat fillers when Raw comes to Philly. Just wondering if anyone has ever done it before. What's it like?

They had a bunch of left over tickets. So they gave them away to fill up the arena. So it looks full. Just like at OVW TV Tapings when no one shows up, in the winter or bad weather. They made every one sit on the camera side. |

I heard they did that for No Way Out 2005. I'd be very surprised if they did, as that was a Pittsburgh show and the Mellon Arena is always packed for WWE events. |

I'd do it, I wouldn't care where the seats are.

They made every one sit on the camera side. That happened to me at a TV taping for the original ECW back in 1999 (it was a Hardcore TV taping, not TNN). ECW booked a hockey arena in a city they'd never been to before and got about 2,500-3,000 people to show up. Which was a very good showing for ECW, but the arena held 7,000 for a wrestling match, so the place still looked empty. They sent Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten into the ring to get on the mic and ask the fans to cram into the sections that were on camera the most, to make it look better on TV. |

My sister's friend did it at Hell in the Cell at the Prudential Center.She goes to Seton Hall and they asked for volunteers to sign up but she was already going with me so she didn't do it but what they do is walk around with the producer or whoever and if someone gets up to go use the bathroom or something on the TV side they sit them there til the person comes back so it doesn't look empty.

They made every one sit on the camera side. Not true.. They will have a group of 10-20 people they will use as seat fillers...they use them every show including sell outs. You will sit on the non camera side during the show and when someone in the center section of the lower level on the tv side gets up to use the bathroom or do whatever the producer (usually steve) will round up how many are need you and you sit in that persons seat until they come back. |

I remember hearing that show had horrid attendance. It's the only Mellon Arena PPV I didn't attend personally, but I remember hearing from friends that it wasn't up to the usual crowd attendance and with a Big Show vs. JBL main event I'm honestly not surprised. |

I will usually agree, but NWO 05 had most of the E & F sections tarped off. Most of the lower bowl was filled, but some of D was taped off aswell. But yeah, every other show there is usually filled to the brim. |
