I do not see anything wrong with saving a seat or two for your friends if you are already seated there. It is the seats that are not occupied for long periods of time that keeps many other people from having a place to sit and enjoy the music.
One of my pet peeves. I've noticed this especially in Spanish Springs. We will go to breakfast at Katie Bells and when leaving around 10:00 AM notice many chairs being saved for that night. I guess even in TV you will get lazy, inconsiderate people that want to show up late and have reserved seats.
I'm surprised TV allows this.
