As a promoter albeit a smaller show
I always put the best "attractions" if that was the players signing or JSA or anything like that in the back of the room.
My thought process was the people who are coming to see them, well they will walk the extra mile so to speak to find them.
And yes, I made exceptions such as when Wally Moon was signing because he had a walker and I wanted him to walk as little as possible as a courtesy.
Funny thing about Wally, supposedly he couid be ornery with promoters but he liked me and we loved having him at my shows. I think there was 3 reasons, I was always considerate of his needs, we had a mutual friend who sat with him and that made him comfortable and when his grand kids came to the show (They lived in Plano) they gladly paid the $1 admission and when he introduced them to me -- I just went and gave them back their admission fees. Why charge a family member?
But other than Wally, I always put the guests in the back of any room I was in. Granted the rooms were not that big but still.
