Then prior to the start of the event, have a couple of bouncer type guys periodically go around with a shopping cart and remove the items.
Maybe a ground roots TOTV movement. A nice printed sheet with the contents similar to the one you quoted left on the tables. The wording would need to be changed to reflect how rude the majority of folks think it is to reserve chairs rather than having the authority to move. Include URLs to saving seats threads on TOTV. Consider it an awareness progress. I am hopeful that people do not always know others consider what they are doing is considered rude.

Good advertising for TOTV too
