Abravanel seats = Iraq Invasion?

The uproar over the changes in seating at the Utah Symphony’s Abravanel Hall continues, with some irate patrons going to the media and describing the arbitrary repricing and roping off of seating sections as the equivalent of the US invasion of Iraq. The orchestra decided that their attempt to close off sections of the third tier as “a mistake” and instead decided to double the prices on those seats. Not exactly a good way to acknowledge a mistake.
