Or the enterloper could just as easily excuse themselves and move into one of the 950 empty seats. Just saying.

Speak your case, if people can't be fired up in the ninth of a close ball game, don't worry about them,
Everything else I agree with Vic. I hold tickets to FB Basketball, and baseball. If there is some one in my seats when I arrive and there are two or 4 adjacent seats or one row up or down, the last thing I'm worried about is running them off. Most likely, they aren't season ticket holders, so a good view of a good game could convince them to buy season tickets moving forward.
If the venue is full, it's a different story and I politely ask them to move.
It really comes down to the person that holds the seats wouldn't it Geaux? Whether or not you chose to say anything to people in your seats is entirely up to you. Proper etiquette in my book is if you are knowingly sitting in someone's seats, be prepared to move if asked. And you shouldn't have a problem moving if asked, because you knowingly sat in someone's seats. Now, I would hope no one would make a scene out of simply asking someone to move over so that he or she can sit in their own seats. But no season ticket older should feel guilty about asking someone to move out of their seats.
It really depends on the situation. Was that person old or unable to stand due to a particular handicap? That would be understandable. Also, it would be understandable if you randomly stood up during, say, the 4th inning where the game wasn’t on the line and you were the only one standing. If it were me, I would’ve either:
A) moved to an empty seat around where I was and remained standing
Or
B) turned around and mention the fact that the rest of the Tigue was standing as well for that last out and they should be a true fan and stand up with everyone else
I moved from a patio box to the seats in the grandstands on the last row. After twelve years of being able to stand the only way I am sitting is if a person in a wheelchair is behind me.
Well,with all due respect to you I agree that if I purchased season tickets those seats are mine. That's how I look at it and I think that's how most look at it. I would not want someone sitting in my seats that I paid for only to tell me "hey don't worry, just go sit down there".
I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with what you have just posted.
My only point was that on a game like last Saturday, I have no problem whatsoever with the University opening up seating to allow those that did brave the weather enjoy a seat where the effects of the weather are less felt.
If one shows up and someone is in your seats, you can ask them to move if you absolutely must sit in your seats and that person should move if asked.
I also however believe and saw that on a day like that, it was coincidence that one of the good fans who stayed happen to be in your seats and a consideration would be to sit in one or more of the empty 20 seats close in proximity to yours and join in with that set of fans that chose to stay like you did to support the team, and support the team with them, in those conditions.
How can anyone argue with any of this? If you feel the need to make them move then so do it. If you decide to take a more practical solution, good for you again.
