What do I do at the next event I want to attend? Exactly, I go early and "save" my spot, because that's what they do in TV. Right?

I think the best solution would be to have signs stating no reserved seating, etc. They certainly have signs that you cannot smoke in the square and even make a VERY LOUD announcement telling everyone smoking is not allowed. What's the difference...

Bottomline....When in Rome, do as the Romans do. So, in a sorta goofy, backhanded way, I think I'm defending the practice.

Just keeping it real....
I think you have nailed it. For all I know my neighbors did exactly that ... they saw what everyone else was doing and assumed that's the "Village Way". Until signs are posted and/or announcements are made, things are not likely to change.
