I think liberty has a moral obligation to get all the seats filled.
Even community money went into this endevour (bad choice to begin with, if extra money should be brought in (...liberty is rich enough...), it should by done by the hotels etc).
The people living there had to put up with so many traffic jams etc etc, all for that the local economy florishes by this event. Empty seats means less money brought in for the local economy.
Or maybe donate empty seats to citizens by a lottery system.
