My team was denied a place to sit twice by two different teams. I told them just take them off your list (ironically one we ended up working with in the elims and the other was never on our list in the first place).
Apparently FIRST has some sort of Poor Behaviour Reporting Forum to turn in when these things happen. So what is a civillian supposed to do when they show up and are rejected and ejected by an overzealous and territorial team? Maybe Dean needs to make nipping this behavior in the bud homework for the teams.

First off I enjoyed working with your team in eliminations. I have reasonable certainty that you are referencing my team above. We have a big team, and at this perticular event we had a large amount of parents and grandparents. Despite, I'm sorry if my team was withholding seats. I was not actually in the stands except for our own matches. However, it was clear to me that my team had taken over a significant amount of seats-- too many to not share. I can assure you that I'll be bringing up the issue at our next meeting to ensure that it does not happen again. I hope this does not too badly tarnish our reputation with you, we strive as a team to not only get along with other teams but to build bridges and relationships that will last. After all, competition is much more fun when you're in the company of friends.
Sorry again, Bryan
