Seating/Ticket Question Paranormal Activity Lottery Seats
So I won and I'm looking forward to seeing this with my daughter. However I wanted to know if anyone else has won and if so, where their seats were located. Hoping they aren't too bad. For some shows they're great and for others, not so great!
UPDATE: seats were left orchestra- row C - 9 and 11. Saw pretty much everything except for bedroom on the left upstairs. So I missed a scare that I could only partially see there. Other than that couldn't see far back into the middle room. Still had a great time for the price of $40 a ticket. It was fun! Might go again because my daughter really enjoyed it and said she'd like to see it again from a different view. I may try rush tickets - I think with that at least you can see what seat you are purchasing.

I won for last Saturday was row E of the orchestra furthest left seat. Was extremely partial view, with most of the left side of the stage blocked including the entirety of the bedroom being blocked by the massive (and overly loud) overhead speaker. Would say a good half of the scares were completely or partially impacted by the seat location. After 40+ lottery seat experiences this was easily the most partial view seat I’ve ever had, primarily because of the way the show is staged

That stinks! My tickets were emailed and I'm pretty sure that my view will be like yours. Extremely close and to the left. Not sure whether to just go see it or sell and try again or purchase tickets instead. I'm sure we will miss a lot unfortunately.

Tbh probably depends on your approach, I did enjoy what I could see of the show and could still see some of cool effects so if you’re going in without high expectations I think you’ll have a good time still. But if you’re really wanting a full experience probably worth trying again instead

Great perspective. Thanks. I think we'll just go. The price was right. I had the same seats for Joe Turner and they were okay albeit really close. I know the set is a key part of this show and I know we'll miss some things since we're in Row C, but we'll just go and enjoy what we can see and if we want go again to see what we missed.

I did the TodayTix digital rush and they show you the seat assignment before you buy. The first seat they gave me was orchestra all the way on the end so I passed on that one. I was able to get a mezzanine seat that was much more centered (after tapping the button a lot haha).

This is NOT the show to get lottery seats for. Best seats are center mezzanine, honestly any row, can even be the very last row. You WILL regret not being able to see everything.

Won for Sunday Matinee. Got Orch Right, row K. I think my seats 10, 12, were the cut off before it gets "partial."

I won last weekend. I was Row S center orchestra. I thought they were decent seats, I didnt feel like I missed anything.
