If you want to get a better seat at an Expos game, you could always ask the other person there to switch seats.

Different story there, anonplz. There are tons of people at Cubs games.
Now exactly WHY, is debatable. Of course, the same can be said of my beloved Fenway Park.

There are corrupt politicians on both sides of the aisle ... and I'm sure the F 'sneaks' come in both flavors.

I did something simular once. I was on a trans-con 763 3-class. I was confirmed in C class and was the last one on the plane. I originally had a window and there was already a pax in the aisle so took 5C (my favorite seat). I began to read and noticed I was being ignored for the first hour of the flight, I got up and went to galley and told them I had moved. The FA's just laughed, and wondered who I was. Turns out they counted a deadheading FA as a pax and thought I had sneaked in and were arguing whom was going to confront me. So I find it hard that some can do this from LAX-SYD without being caught.

I've seen it tried, but always an alert FA caught the deception. More so now than ever. We suffered a delay coming out of Madrid when the FAs counted and recounted.
I call it a theft. Theft of service is still theft. Enron anyone?

IMHO, this is definitely a no blood no foul issue. if he can stay up there more power too him. If he gets booted, he is the one with a red face.. other than that.. who really cares..
Is it theft, technically my guess is yes.. but I can bet that each of us in here has technically stolen something willfully and knowingly at some point (have you ever made a personal phone call from work on work time, the baseball game is a great example... I am so guilty a thousand times over on that one.. I'm always sneaking down to the lower boxes).. for most people it is of immaterial consequence and no one cares or would ever want to prosecute..
As long as he obeyed crews instructions.. its not a big deal. As for the comment about if he would steal a F seat what else might he do in this post 911 era.. come on.. now really... If he was a terroist he would buy a seat not try to steal one.. I wish I knew how to put those little icons up with the eyes rolling
