CSO seats worth dying for?

If somebody wouldn't get out of your CSO seat, wouldn't you (at least) punch him before you quickly left (avoiding arrest) ?

Of course, you don't know that's what happened. The guy throwing the punches was also at least 30 years younger than the guy receiving them. And normally issues where someone is sitting in your seat get resolved before the close of the second movement of a work. I somehow don't think the press reports are telling us the whole story.

My bet is that it improves ticket sales.

My bet is that it improves ticket sales.

There's the CSO's new marketing campaign: "Come for the music, stay for the fights!"

"I went to the fights, and a concert broke out!"

Well, it was Brahms 2, the only "tuba symphony"
Punchy's teacher (or the TNFJ) probably told him to go listen to it.

What color did they propose to dye the seats and why was that an issue worth fighting over?

My favorite part was that Muti kept going!

Maybe they should plan for more "unexpected" activities to keep the concerts interesting. They could have a flash mob break out in a chorus of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody during intermission or something.
