I think paying $200/person to see a show and having it disrupted by some idiot with a phone can be more than a "minor detail going wrong". It has gotten a lot worse than a few errant phone rings or checking a text.


I was quoting the NYT article:

“It puts so much pressure on a night out,” he said, “and the second something goes wrong it becomes a big emotional issue.”

It's one thing to be upset that you spent X amount of dollars to sit next to someone checking Uber. It's another thing to get involved in a physical altercation because of that.
