If there were nowhere to sit, I would not start sitting on the floor....I'd probably grab a quick Starbucks to go and leave. With that said, I've visited AS Lounges multiple times throughout their relatively small network during various days and times and I can't remember even one time where there was not a single seat left and I had to leave.
There's probably a maximum capacity set by the fire marshall.
