Beware the Seat Poachers
In the event that there is a cancellation, people known as seat poachers will show up extremely early in the morning to try and take the seats of people who are late or couldn’t attend. In the event that this happens, Ellen’s production team finds that it’s better the seats get filled, regardless of whether that person had been on the show before or not. As long as they can pass through a security check, they are welcome to join.
