Lining Up: We cannot predict or guarantee how many guests will line up early. Every show is different and while the doors open at 6:30 pm guests may line up well in advance to get prime seats. We encourage guests to arrive early if they are concerned about getting the best seating. The ground level restaurant is open all day, and guests are encouraged to come in and grab a drink while they monitor the line status on-site.

Saving Seats: Each guest is permitted to save one seat once they are in the venue. Large groups are encouraged to arrive as early as possible to increase chances of sitting together. We do not reserve tables or seats outside of the Gold areas.
