There is no reason to have more and more rules. Everyone knows for the most popular entertainers to arrive very early and take a seat for yourself and your date. If you find no available chairs and there are "roped off" large sections with no one in them, there is nothing to prevent you from taking one or two of those. There will be no confrontation except maybe a "those are saved". Just sit down anyhow or move them. The person may grouse a bit but nothing more. No physical altercation has ever happened as that would be an assault and would be duly noted in the online paper.

Once again, get there early. You cannot expect to come at 5:00 for Rocky and expect to find empty seats
At my age and physical condition, I would feel very intimidated doing what you say here. I suspect you would witness seat saver rage immediately. Unfortunately, we do need a rule and it must be enforced for thebenifit of those of us that limp into the squares only to find all open seats roped off.
