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
So we're supposed to get there at 10:00 am on Market Night with the Real Deal in order to have a seat? Some people are roping off seats as early as 10:00 am.
Do you really think that people should spend all day at the square in order to watch the entertainment?

I think that in this instance a rule, and enforcement of that rule, is very necessary.
