Better yet, charge $1 for the chair and give a numbered ticket as it's handed to them, and then at 7pm have a drawing for half the pot. Require the winner to be present to win. The other half of the proceeds would be put toward costs of the entertainment. Then after the drawing, a lot of the people would leave, freeing up chairs for the last 2 hours. |

All they have to do is not put the chairs out (for the nightly entertainment IN the square). Hand a chair to people as they walk in, as Brownwood does, starting a half hour or so before 5pm when music starts. Allow no more than 2 chairs given to one person entering.
I admit, even though I live less than a mile from Brownwood, I don't go to the Square very often. The few times I have gone, the entertainment didn't hold my interest. Your solution that is put into practice at Brownwood is perfect. I don't understand why this isn't done at the other 2 Squares. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again...whoever "Management" and "They" are, there is absolutely no interest in fixing any of these issues, just like confronting people misusing golf carts (allowing young kids to drive or overloading with kids, etc.), and exercise classes in neighborhood pools, or roping off and saving seats at the squares. You're own your own down here. "Management" ("They") don't get involved in problem solving at all - that's why "They" can tout TV as being "America's Friendiest Hometown" in the advertising. For the most part, it is, but when it isn't...

How about just going in and sitting with the group. If it's roped off, just go in and have a seat. If they ask, it's public property. They can't make you leave.

I have seen lots of chairs out at Brownwood well before the music starts. I am not sure exactly what the policy is but it doesn't appear to be applied consistently.

I agree. I have stated this before: there is no upside to the The Villages Entertainment for confronting a customer about seats. The only "confrontation" I have ever seen was when they asked people to move seats out of the "aisles" for safety reasons.

I think the next time I take my own chairs that I will put them right in front of the "saved" seats.

More than fair
If a row of seats are "saved" and no one is in them and you come with "your own seat" and sit in it you have every right to place your seat in front of the "empty" saved seats.

I've gone to Brownwood a number of times. I do like the way seats are just stacked on a cart and you can go pick them up...if any are left. But I haven't yet seen anybody handing out seats.
