[quote=Anonymous]I've worked security at many different venues from small shows to large festivals and I can tell you that pretty much any person that wants to be disabled/handicapped/etc can be, all they need to do is say they are, or if required, they just need to ask for the little blue badge at the proper place... NOONE, is allowed to ask them what their condition is or to prove it because everyone's right to privacy when it comes to any medical condition is protected under numerous laws like HIPPA, etc... 
Many conditions are plain and simple to see, but many are not... Not only that, but when some is claiming the status, anyone accompanying them is also considered eligible for the same accommodations... And there is no way of even ranking the disability to make it fair...
I've had to let a drunken couple with a screaming woman claiming to have severe PTSD from domestic abuse sit in the front row of an elevate ADA seating area at a festival as well as both parents of child in a wheelchair to sit beside him instead of standing on the other side of the railing next to him, while forcing many people, including a US Marine who lost a leg and an eye to an IED, to stand during that same show (and we had to remove a trash can to make room for the disabled Marine)... And I can tell you countless numerous stories just like that... 
So yeah, anyone that wants to claim the seats is welcome to them, if you do, just make sure they're actually seats or you'll be standing there the whole show like a dork, cause ain't nobody getting you a chair... ;)[/quote]
