Ooooh! I *like* this idea.

For several years, for our large indoor feast event Candlemas, we've
been having folks sign up for their tables during the day to avoid
the mad, cattleherd stampede for the tables at feast time. Particularly
good for folks like myself, who aren't part of a household and thus
don't have several people to grab and defend a table.

But we've simply been putting putting names on diagrams of the tables.

(You can't reserve for folks who haven't signed in at gate yet). I
like your idea.

It also solves the token problem. They seem to be
little more than keepsakes of the event, since they aren't really
looked at to prove you paid for feast. So our barony hasn't had
site or feast tokens for several years. Although lately there has
been an effort to have one or more venders/merchants provide site
tokens to buy for those who want a site token.
