This happens are concerts. It's endemic and has spolit the event, globally. Recently I saw a film director talk and all phones were locked away. Everyone in the room (2000 people) got to hear, and see, what they'd come for. I wish more events would do this. I really do.

But for musical scenes like classical music or jazz that are small and fragile and can’t afford to split their audience, this is a real problem.
