I went to TGV cinema since it is near my house. last week i watch the beruk movie, it was a sold out. however, there are 7 seats (good location seats) empty.

i went online and i notice they always leave this 7 seats empty no matter what movie and what timing.

anyone know why ?

I buy ticket in TGV at the counter. She say the grey seat is available. I buy the one beside the red (occupied). I go in, I sit, I watched, no one sits beside me all the while. Not one time. A few times.

The explanation was given in the HK movie Troublesome Night 1 (1997).

Do not sit on those "reserved seats" in cinema.

Rather than looking for answer here, you would do much better to email them regarding this matter.

since many here said for ghost so i go google 'cinema reserved seat for ghost' and found this

https://coconuts.co/bangkok/lifestyle/there...nema-reassures/

quote: “Those seats are backups in case customers book broken seats or spill water on their seats. For those who suspect that the seats are left for the guardian ghosts, customers can be ensured there are no such thing (as ghosts) in our theaters.”

i think this answer is reasonable

Those seat are reserved for those who ends up in broken seats or those who booked tickets online but had issues in getting the ticket details despite payment going through. The latter happened to me before

for visitors from the other world to watch

if not how genting earn so much?

you think so pure kah

even hotels leave certain rooms empty

its more like a feng shui thing

you give them something, they help you back

but once you help them.. its a consistent thing already as they will always be "searching" for it

Out of the hundreds of ppl booking tickets, what is so surprising if some cannot make it or changed their mind or even forgot about it?

The surprising thing is that those seats are said booked all the time, but those seats are empty all the time.
