Instead of the Marketplace you could simply have an ideas wall, and anyone who has an idea for a session the next day could stick it up there without any feeling of commitment.
Then the next day open the Marketplace with the usual blank wall, remind people that today is a new day and all are free to do what they want, remind them to check out the wall of ideas from yesterday if they want to... and then business as usual... OR offer 15min to browse the ideas wall... then rip all the ideas down, throw them in the bin, and start the Open Space! And why are you limiting the number of spaces/sessions in an Open Space?
