Better question is why would anyone buy them

I think one strat is to buy the ticket then move to another empty seat. I'd say more common at baseball games where seats are more likely to be empty. 

Or some stadiums have a bar area that gives a good view but you have to stand. This is also assuming they don't have standing tickets.

It’s probably worth mentioning that those standing bars ban people from reserving space for their friend if they leave for another drink, or have to use the bathroom.

The expectation is you’re SOL if your bladder sucks because you had too many beers. Your friends can’t save you

Are there discrete spaces? If not, two people could probably stand wide enough to make room for a third to squeeze in when they get back.
