Is there anyone who think that the closest seat is the most expensive seat regardless of the kind of sports such as soccer, baseball, or basketball?
Through my travel all over the world, almost all the sports in almost all the countries can be true in this point. But there is exception. That is soccer games in England, mother country of soccer. Stadiums in England are constructed only for soccer game, so the distance between the stands and ground are so close. There is only a couple of feets length. I think there are people who think it is so expensive for the ticket, but the answer is "NO".
They see not the players but the game in homeland of soceer, England.
In short, sitting on the front seat is difficult to see the whole game but the rear and up seat can see the whole game that means it is easy to grasp the flow of the game. So VIP seats locate high to make it easy understand the whole process even in Japan.
