FWIW, I would operate the Concert Room in exactly the same way as BigChuck does and for same reasons.

The session room can cope with room hoppers, and I believe should be open (and has had some great room hoppers as a result) but in a concert, there needs to be more control. I think that the current situation could be likened to on one hand a person buying a ticket to go to a concert and on the other, someone poping into the local bar to join the folk club.

As for the ratings of the session room, I would like to give that an adult rating for the reasons above (I got censored a few nights ago for typing "CDNow don't really give a shit about folk musicians" - in front of 4 adults who I know well and know would not be offended) but there is no way of legislating for the odd comment (or as Sandy says being ourselves) without opening the doors for abuse.
