Some international media outlets have cast a light on Caesars Palace’s efforts to fill seats for “Weekends With Adele” shows at the Colosseum. Here is the skinny from New Guinea:

The hotel calls in employees and and those who work for the resort’s partners to occupy seats when ticket-holders simply can’t make the show.

I actually observed this opening night, when the seat next to me was open for the first few minutes of the show until a Caesars staffer settled in (I had been thinking, “After all this, the seat next to me is going to be open?”).

The possibility of unoccupied seats was more of a concern early in the run, with a flurry of ticket purchases on the resale market, fans juggling their travel schedules for COVID-19 issues and flight cancellations.
