I've only done HDDR - never the BBQ - but I highly recommend the HDDR.
I don't remember when it started but now there are three tiers of pricing.It has been 20 years since I saw HDDR and I still have fun memories of it, but I don't recall it having different tiered pricing.
The prices range from $58.99 to $50.99Category 1 seating will be on the first floor closest to the stage
Category 2 seating will be on the first floor behind the Category 1 section below the balcony, or the center of the balcony on the second level
Category 3 seating will be on the right or left hand side of the balcony on the second level
