UC nearly full?

Hi
My friend may now be joining me to NYC, so I went I to my seat booking to see if the seat next to me was free or move to the 2 at the front and it seems that all of the seats in the nose bit are taken except for 2, in the section behind 4 have already been taken. This trip isn't until December 29th JFK to LHR, does this sound right?
Didn't really want to go into the other section should my friend come but I will have to but just thought maybe Virgin have blocked them out for some reason?
Thanks
Kelly
