I have not heard anything like that, I was in there yesterday as an exhibitor.

BUT there is no public access to the back rows against the walls - has been like that the last few years A & B block.

They have barriers up with a small sign on it.

Something to do with fire hazard. (mind you the place is full of fire hazards!)

Some sections definitley had no public access. We were at the back of B block and there was no public access. Really you couldn't have the public wander down there as there is not enough room for there to be a barrier between the benches and the public.

Looking at the blocks in the bottom section i would say they were blocked off for the same reason.
