I asked for chances and seats available and all that he gave me was a inventory availability print-out of the day I was leaving, you know what I mean, all the flights with the classes you can buy like Y9H9B9... I asked for real numbers and he told me the flight looked good in the paper... I just left the desk and went to the city without giving too much importance, as I was a little confussed how they gave me details... I expected actual numbers and how many people whould fly in standby as me in a desired flight, but seemed too difficult to get.

just for the information - the Commercial Services (SAS Group airlines) for example "Tickets desks, Call Centres" can not see the actual situation and are not authorized to give the info on the flight due to Selling Platform Systems. This must be asked from the Ground Services agents (actual loads for service compartments). Make sure you do not ask the info before 24 hours prior the departure.
