people! It isn't like you're all going to be having a group conversation during the event. As long as everyone is sitting next to one person they know (and even that isn't all that important above a certain age), just meet up after the event at a certain exit.

Seat savers are lower than pond scum

We don’t have that problem - ours is in an NFL stadium.

Same applies to Stake Conference.

kccougar

Please no. If people stop saving seats I won’t have an excuse to not go

You go to Stake Conference?

Iki_Balam

Of course.

I’ve managed to get reserved seats for my first

I would guess they had a Google doc.

5/22/19 3:41pm

I think it's okay to save seats until 5-10 min after start, after which it's all over. You must withdraw

5-10 minutes after a progam's start??

kccougar

5/22/19 3:45pm

I think you may be part of the problem... That mindset is not ok

boorad

5/22/19 3:46pm

doesn't it matter how many? What if it's like 2 seats?

Bob Vance

5/22/19 4:15pm

That's not terrible. But saving after an event starts is lame in my book

boorad

5/22/19 5:02pm

Not if im a party of 2 then those 2 seats are mine.

5/23/19 12:21am

10 minutes before start, not after start.

Blue Ghost

Yeah, at least for most occasions. Goodness, just be aware of what’s going on!

Your position makes sense given you tried to sneak Phyllis into the pretzel line

ok, ok, 5 minutes.

Bob Vance

I’m ok if someone saves one seat. Not more.

Let me guess.....most of your family are procrastinators and dont believe in food storage

CLCougar

People like u ruin everything. How about you just get your party there on time?

5/22/19 10:03pm

EVERYTHING IS RUINED!

Bob Vance

5/22/19 11:00pm

Nope. Tool move. You can save a drat for a person who is there. The end!

5/23/19 12:20am

Does it really make a difference whether or not you are sitting a mile away from

byubyu

5/22/19 3:47pm

Totally agree. Seat saving should be eradicated from the culture.

Our local high school started doing graduation at the Huntsman Center in SLC. It's great because there are tons of seats

Cougar-Duck

5/22/19 3:56pm

and plenty of empty seats. That place is NEVER full unless BYU is playing!

cucciolo25

5/23/19 2:43pm

There should just be a hard rule for saving seats

BradioHead

5/22/19 4:02pm

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Tricky

5/22/19 4:34pm

Who "trumps" for saving seats, pregnant or elderly?

Eddie

5/22/19 4:05pm

Moral of the story: don't save seats

Yep. We were at a children's dance performance this past weekend and people

I've had to tell friends and family members, "Sorry, I don't save seats."

Roko's Basilisk

5/22/19 4:23pm

Or money of course. If you've paid for the seat, it's yours whether you've

IdahoCoug

5/22/19 4:26pm

Yes, absolutely. I'm only referring to general admission situations.

Roko's Basilisk

This is a hard thing to tell your in-laws but it builds character.

Is this a problem everywhere, or particularly bad in Utah?

Oh boy. Yeah...it's only in Utah...(SMH)

No one should go to high school graduation except immediate family and gradparen

Doc Buff

5/22/19 5:09pm

Sorry, we have eight kids, 4 grandparents and 3 nieces

jwf

5/22/19 5:48pm

Why are you forcing them to go to a graduation? That's family abuse.

ditch

5/23/19 3:35pm

If you are all there.no need for sorry. If you arent..sorry im sitting next to U

5/23/19 6:04pm

So get there are the same time

Tricky

5/24/19 3:24pm

The worst are the Sat. night stake conference people who save seats for Sunday.

mccledg

5/22/19 6:50pm

Wow, haven’t seen that one yet

gwill

5/22/19 7:01pm

They should have rules like the NBA and ban people from future events at that

BYUBandfan

5/22/19 10:42pm

I dont allow it. I think i posted about sitting in a seat savers seat once.

5/23/19 12:16am

Also, graduation ceremonies are such a dumb waste of time anyway.

ArchbishopMitty

5/23/19 12:45am

Get there earlier than them. You want an open seat center middle you gotta pay

StalwartBraveTrue

5/23/19 8:19am

Event organizers would be smart to put rules into place.

ditch

5/23/19 3:32pm

When I am Stake President (in the next life) the first thing I will do

kccougar

5/23/19 3:51pm

Better rule. No seat saving. This precludes a seat left for bathroom etc. But

5/23/19 6:01pm

Or saving a seat for the guy parking the car.
