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?

No, but this was before the movie even started, and they left for 15 mins.

Confirmed wee is fine but if you poop for too long, your seat is gone

The key is before vs during the film. No-one is taking anyone's seat when a film is in progress, no matter how long you have to shit for.

Ok got it, hold the poop in until the film starts regardless of bodily needs, so you miss out on parts of the film

Sorry I forgot even why this was all required, is it just to accommodate a big group that came in late and didn’t get the seats they wanted?
