Seating at Hoop de Doo

[OKW Lover]

I have booked this show right when availability opened many times and have always gotten a seat right at the front of the stage or a row back.

They assign the tables according to who booked first within that category.

No I hadn’t thought of that, but it’s a good idea.

This was the view from my seat in February 2019. Category 2, party of 2. Table was basically placed with one side against the post with DH and I seated across from each other.

Is Tier 2 less crowded. Still a little COVID conscious and don’t like how packed it looks on the main level.

Last time at Hoop we were a table of 8 , We sat at a large roundtable right in the middle of the main floor... It was great !!!

I’m trying to avoid large swaths of people. Thinking balcony is less crowded. I don’t want people on top of me.

You can definitely avoid this in the balcony. No one directly in front of or behind you. And you're above the people on the main floor.

but unless it has changed you walk thru downstairs area to get to the stairs to go to second floor and if I am right there is no elevator

one thing to remember if it has not changed bathrooms were outside dinning hall so you would have to come down stairs and thru crowd to get to them

Thanks. That’s fine because I can mask while walking through the crowded area.

DH and I were in Cat.1 at the 8:30 show a couple of weeks ago. Most Cat. 2 guests were seated on the first floor. There were only 2 tables up in the balcony, and they were right next to each other and seemed to be together.

The earlier shows might have higher attendance, so might have more guests seated upstairs.

BTW we didn't feel like the tables were crowded together. There was a fair amount of space between tables and it was easy to walk between them, also there was plenty of room to pull chairs away from the tables to watch the show (some chairs have backs to the stage).

Thanks for the insight. It certainly looks packed tight from photos.

Tgg bc snjj k s for the insight. It certainly looks packed tight from photos.

I agree, and it’s possible it was packed more tightly in the Before Times (and might be packed more tightly as time goes on and the number of guests increases - I hope not, because it was nice not to have to squeeze between backs of chairs as we were brought to our table).

just be aware that as of last week, the balcony wasn't being used (with the exception of a couple of tables)
