Default What would you do? v. Movie Theatre

Just wanted to see how this discussion goes --knowing how some of you feel on certain topics.

This happened last night at the IMAX theater. Sold out show for Dark Knight, supposedly someone famous (won't reveal until later) is friends with the CEO of IMAX and was given 6 seats. Two hours prior to the showing, the line to get in is well populated. As they let people in, they do no allow anyone to sit in the 6 reserved seats (last row, dead center). Imax staff were there holding the seats.

People aren't happy about the seats being taken as more and more people file in. Movie starts and the 6 seats remain free until the previews finish...people are eyeing those free seats but are turned away time after time. Some people wave the "this is America flag", some people raise the "I know a lawyer who thinks otherwise", and some just say "ok" and find another seat.

If official IMAX tape or IMAX staff were standing guard next to those seats then so what, find another seat.

If it's just regular people saving those seats last minute then yeah I can see myself being impatient.

i assumed it was official people working at the place, if it was just one random guy trying to hold six seats, i might sit there.

It's their theater... they can do what they want... I'd be more pissed at myself for not getting there early enough to get a decent seat...
