We went to the Fayetteville, NC opening night show on 10/12/06 and bought the $10.00 tickets downstairs. They were center ice and on the 5th row (Row A). The $25 seats were the first four rows(1-4). I had a friend who bought the $25 tickets and she regretted it, given the difference in price and how close the $10 seats were to hers. Her 2 year-old was a little freaked out being on the ice as it was a bit too close for her as the characters were really close with absolutely nothing between them and the ice. Now my 4yo would have enjoyed it; but given the $60 price difference for 4 tickets @ $10 and 4 tickets @$25, I would never buy the $25 tickets. And I've worked at a major concert arena before, and generally pay for good tickets.
The fact is, that if the show is playing at a smaller arena, all the seats are awesome.
Since you're buying them the day they go on sale, you'll have your choice of the "cheap" seats like I did and you'll thank yourself for buying the less expensive seats when you get to the $20 T-shirts, the $10 cotton candys, and the $12 snow cones
By the way, the show is awesome. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it actually was.
For our arena, which is a hockey arena, for the most part. The ice was at one end, so no seats behind it on the end. If you see a seating chart, anywhere center ice or close will be great.
Have a wonderful time. I wish I still had the pre-sale code discount, but I can't find it.
