# General Admission & Reserved Tickets: Everything you need to know

Depending on the event, tickets may come with different seating options. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your experience.

### 🎟️ General Admission (GA) Seating

Some performances offer **General Admission (GA)** seating, which means seats are **not assigned in advance**.

#### What GA Means

- Your ticket **guarantees entry and a seat** at the event.
- **Seats are not pre-selected**; you’ll choose when you arrive.
- Seating is **first-come, first-served**.

We recommend arriving **close to the door time**, especially if:

- You’re attending with a **large group**, or
- You’d like **more options for where to sit**.

Arriving early gives you the **best chance to pick the area you prefer**.

### 🎟️Stage Premier General Admission

Some shows include a **Stage Premier** section in addition to standard GA.

- Located **closest to the stage**
- Still **first-come, first-served** within the section
- Offers **prime viewing**, but seats are **not assigned**

### 🎟️Reserved Seating (Assigned Day of Event)

If your ticket says **“Reserved Seating (assigned day of event)”**, this is what it means:

- You **have a guaranteed seat**, even if the show is sold out.
- Your **specific seat is assigned on the day of the event** by our concierge team.

#### Important Details

- Seats are assigned based on **remaining availability**.
- **Early arrival does not affect your seat placement**.
- **We cannot guarantee exact seating locations**, so please plan accordingly.
- If purchasing multiple tickets, **buy them in one transaction** to help your group sit together.

### 🎟️Checking In

When you arrive:

1. **Scan your ticket at the door**.
2. Our **concierge team will guide you** to your assigned seat (if applicable) or the GA area.
