Where to sit at Bourne Spectacular show

[Austen]

I read that the experience can vary depending on where you sit. Anyone have any tips for this?

Disxuni did a write up on this question
Do check out her experience
( I did this show with her one time and and it was worth the wait)

I have sat in the front 3 rows,
Middle section and near the back seating.
And the ok seats about 3 from the end aisle.
Not the best viewing spot but it was okay but my least favorite area.

My choice area was in the front rows.
I liked being on the same level as the stage.

When entering the theatre, I asked the TM to place me in any row but not at an end seat.

I was under the impression you followed the crowd and didn’t really have a choice.

I went solo and had no problem asking to be in a specific section for 5 of the times I did this show

How do I find that?

Bourne is one of the stickies

We were seated by an attendant. We did not get a choice. When asked to move to empty rows towards the middle (they had about 6 empty rows in the middle) we were told no. Plenty of others asked as well.

FYI arrive early - we tried two times this week to attend, arrived 15 minutes early and 20 minutes early, and both times we weren't early enough to make it into the theater.

Does it take fast pass?

No! We thought it did or we would have arrived earlier.

We got lucky on our first attempt and walked up about 20 minutes before the show started. There was no line at that point and we walked right into the holding area. The next time we tried, we got there 10 minutes early and the line was back to the exit for Horror Makeup. We didn't make it in, we were three groups from the cutoff.

Our third attempt, we got there 15 minutes early and they had already fully loaded in and were at capacity. The TMs told us that you need to get there at least 20 minutes early. Last attempt, we got there 20 minutes early and were near the front of the line.

Plan to get there at least 20 minutes early... and know that the whole process will take about 50 minutes (including that 20 minutes early).

I will add it also depends on what time of day you are wanting to see the show. The mid morning and early afternoon shows fill up much faster. At those times on busy days you may want to allow 30-45 minutes just to be sure. We got there 30 minutes before a late morning show and just missed getting in. We got there 45 minutes early for an early afternoon show and were 3rd in line. This was on a non-capacity but busy day.

It was quite busy over Thanksgiving week when we tried to go. We got lucky on our last day but ended up in the back of the theater on the side. Even from there, the show was extremely impressive. If you could get in the middle of the theater, it was have been much more immersive.

Saw the show for a second time and enjoyed it more than the first. Parks were pretty empty today, the Monday after Thanksgiving.

We arrived 25 minutes before the noon show and walked right in. 10 minutes later the preshow area was full then something interesting happened.

Team members escorted the last four groups that had arrived back out of the preshow area. When they were all out, a VIP tour arrived from a different entrance and took their spots.

The same thing happened last week when we were there. We wondered if it meant that the group(s) at the back of the queueing area were told they would not be able to see the show and would have to come back at a later time. VIP group or not, I'd be ticked.
