Royal Albert Hall on trial

The Royal Albert Hall, one of London's most prestigious concert venues, has been sued by three of its members. Members are people who privately own seats in the auditorium. They automatically get tickets to most performances there, but a 1966 law allows the hall to exclude them from a third of them. Some members say they've been excluded from more performances than the rules allow. A judge denied their original request for financial compensation and ruled that the dispute should go to trial. Hosts Carolyn Beeler and Marco Werman have more.
