If you buy the reserved seating, how early do you need to be at the show?The reserved seating is in the center section of the stadiums, about half-way up - not in the soak zones.
I would say that in mid-August you would be okay with not purchasing the reserved seats. Starting on August 16th, the park hours shorten from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM until the 30th. That is an indicator that the park predicts the huge summer crowds will die down. If you get to the shows at least 30 minutes before they start, you can typically find decent seats.

Where is the season pass holder (we have platinum sesame passes) located?
