Potentially stupid question:

Not really. If the seats are empty they cost you nothing. Give the tickets away requires you to PURCHASE that seat. They aren't yours to give away just because they are unused.
Booking fee and whatever you purchase the tickets for are a COST. You book the arena and sell seats. You don't own every seat in the arena that isn't used.
Ring up ticketek and ask. Happy to be proved wrong.

In summary the empty seats aren't your to give away without incurring a cost.
Every 'free'(empty) seat incurs a cost. By all means give them away and go broke.

When putting on an event Ticketting agencies will only make a provision for x amount of comp tickets to be printed as they make a comission on sales. If a club does want to hand out thousands of tickets they would have to pay penalties or comissions to the ticketting agencies (ie. ticketek/ticketmaster)

One of the problems with giving lots of tickets for free to fill the stadium means the paying customer who is a legitimate fan is going to get jacked off. In the process of trying to lure a new customer, you are going to lose paying customers. It,s a fine balancing act.

Mick do you really have a clue?
Any empty seats are empty by definition.

Give them away means you purchase that empty seat, and by giving them away you LOSE money.
