I can't imagine there are any cost savings here.
EDIT: ok I actually read it and it is purely for optics and an attempt to create demand for tickets. Wow. Poor Ottawa.

To be fair, the Flames did the same thing with the nosebleed sections prior to 2004 when they literally had tarps over the seats.
I still fail to see how it would not be more profitable to at least blow these seats out for pennies on the dollar than let them sit empty. A butt in a seat is going to spend money on concessions, beer, merch regardless how much the ticket costs.
