FP for eat to the beat concerts?

We have never done a concert before at Epcot, and we booked a trip special just to see one this year. So I'm looking for info on seating to make sure we get to see them. I'm getting confusing info so looking for someone to clarify. I'm seeing that you can get FP? Chase visa wristbands? Standby wristbands? We do have disney visa. But where do you get regular wristbands? Will they release FP? What is the way to get the closest seats? Sorry, but this is DH favorite band of all time and I switched our entire trip around this last week so it's a big deal.

If you plan to eat at one of the Epcot restaurants anyway it sort of makes the most sense to just go on and book the dining package. There is no guarantee they'll do the Chase wristbands or FP. You can assume they will but neither are guaranteed. The dining package would remove all doubt. They are probably the best seat too. They were when we did it for the Garden Rock concert in April. While we'd have never bothered in most circumstances, we were dining at the restaurant that offered the package and it was only slightly more to add it on and we liked the band (The Orchestra (ELO)) so we figured, why not. The seats for this were right up front, so very good. If it's as important as it sounds like it is to your DH, I'd plan a dining package without hesitation.

Thanks so much for the info. I'm getting a lot of conflicting info, but I know you would know- you always have the answers to all my questions
