It sounds like you did about as much as you could. This has happened to us more than once, and while free passes are nice, it still doesn't solve the problem.
Unfortunately (and I'm going to sound like a crotchety old man) kids these days aren't raised with the manners and consideration of others that we were. Coupled with the fact that they grew up with DVDs and home theater systems where they can watch a movie, text and chat all they want, they have no concept of how to behave in a public performance.
Same thing with bratty, screaming children in restaurants, but that's again the parents' fault and a whole different rant.
