I think you could trust attendees at a mellower concert to behave in a responsible way. If they are asked to follow a certain seating configuration, I think they will do so. Remember, it will be a smaller, more intimate crowd. Mature adults tend to go with the pack and would feel self-conscious and out of place if blatantly breaking the rules by moving chairs around, especially if signs are posted all throughout the venue prohibiting it. It would be similar to lighting up a cigarette in a no smoking zone.

I think we should be given the benefit of the doubt. If it turns out people are out of control, we could always put a stop to the shows again.

As for dancing, just put up signs saying something diplomatic about complying with CDC guidelines and therefore prohibiting dancing. Again, if signs are posted conspicuously, peer pressure would keep people from breaking the rules. And all the Karens (and Gladys Kravitzes) in TV would surely yell at them to sit down the moment they start.
