Are the $5 Nats tix for empty premium seats that weren't sold or just for Grandstand nosebleed seats? No, you say they are standing room.
Or can you buy your way from the nosebleed to an empty seat behind home plate where you get unlimited food & drink for 5 bucks once the game starts? Otherwise there's no point of comparison to the premise of this thread. Because Delta isn't willing to do that, as you say.
