La Nouba tickets - buy online or call?

[bellelayne1]

Hi all,
We want to get La Nouba tickets but when we go online it only gives us certain seats every time we try. *Yes just like other venues it is the "best available".
I'm asking all this because when we called to get tickets they said we couldn't hand pick seats for us until the 180 day mark. Which leads me to think do they only dole out certain seats online? I tried days around it and it is almost the exact same seating available.
So I'm wondering at the 180 day mark are more tickets made available or are we just stuck with what we are shown online? Does calling get us better seats? Or should I just book what is available now to ensure we get tickets?
Just wondering from those who've experienced this and are in the know. It seems different than ordering concert tickets for a local venue.

I just purchased at 60 days out and had the same set of options. What I found was that you could cancel those seats before the timeout ended and then re-request the seats and they'd generally give you a different set of seats. After several retries I managed to get seats close to the area I wanted.

Later I called Disney directly (because I'm an AP and hadn't realized there was a discount) and they said they couldn't apply the discount yet because they don't have access to the seats until 30 days out. I'm thinking that's when you might be able to hand pick your seats too.

I had a La Nouba seating chart in front of me while ordering online and I knew where I wanted to sit. I kept getting seats on the far edge of the row furthest from the center. The automatic online system assigns the seats from the lowest number in the row to the highest, left to right as you look from the stage. Best available doesn't mean what I want.
I called and was able to talk to someone who helped and I got seats that were what I wanted. And correct, I did have to wait 30 days before the show to get my AP discount.
I don't know about the 180 days, just phone and ask for the seats you want. Good luck!

I've called in the past and told them the seats I wanted.

I always call and choose my specific seats. I always call at the 30 day mark to use the Florida Resident discount.

Yep, I was doing the "not the seats I want, press cancel" scenario too.
I guess we'll just have to call at 180 days to see if we can get seats where we want.
We don't get a discount so it doesn't matter if we wait til 30 days out.
