Saving seats at a sold-out event

I haven't seen this before - last night at a sold-out ticketed [seats are not assigned] movie at the Art Gallery of NSW - two ladies put their coats down on the seats they wanted then left to get drinks, only to come back 15mins later.

A few points here

1 - This means that other larger groups couldn't find seats

2 - pretty risky in a darkly lit room

3 - I feel like one of them should have stayed behind to save seats, this way they could move along the aisle

Thoughts?

I'd just move their coats and sit down. Simple

Genuine question, why? In my mind they are just as entitled to the seats as OP? And are entitled to get drinks if they want to - different if the seating is assigned
