Osaka man reserves and cancels 1,873 seats at baseball games worth RM440,000 ‘to stand out on TV’ (VIDEO)
Monday, 16 Mar 2020 05:24 PM MYTAnti-social: The 41-year-old baseball fan also told police he ‘wanted to watch the game comfortably with no people around’. — Screengrab from YouTube/Pacific League TV Official
Not just a few seats, but a jaw-dropping total of 1,873 seats for two games, only to cancel them all except for his own so there wouldn’t be anyone within a 300-seat radius.The bizarre incident was reported by Japanese news outlet Sankei News and Hachima Kiko. Shibamura, 41, booked the seats on September 10 last year for two games, the Orix Buffaloes and SoftBank Hawks, on September 28 and 29 at Kyocera Dome in Osaka.
The games were popular fixtures with one marking the end of the season and another featuring a visiting team that would later go on become champions of the 2019 Nippon Professional Baseball .Eagle-eyed observers can also pick out Shibamura on the September 29 game highlights where a patch of some 900 empty seats can be seen.
