Not only were we reminded of the same stuff, but there was a blurb added at the end about not saving chairs.

Now, they didn't say you couldn't do it, she just said something to the effect of "out of respect for everyone we ask that you please not reserve seats." Not perfect, but we're making progress!
And as usual, the considerate, well-mannered people will not hog seats by roping them off for hours in advance, and the brazen, obnoxious ones will rope off as many as they please.

I don't know why they put the chairs out hours in advance. It's a magnet for the inconsiderate vultures.
