I live inMassachusetts and we have Yo Gabba Gabba and Sesame Street Live coming between Jan- April. I am planning to buy ticket for one of the shows. Most shows say if they are over 1 they need a ticket.Can a toddler even see the show sitting in her seat if I did buy her a ticket and since she won't even be 2 I like her to sit on my lap so she can little higher to see the stage if I don't get good seats. Anyone taken their toddler to see theatre show in or around Boston can give me some insight?
I agree with Jo, that she is the age group for which the show is intended, so she would definitely need a ticket. When my kids were that age they usually sat on their knees in their own seats.
I would imagine pretty strict since the shows are geared for younger kids. Just because you have a seat doesn't mean the child my sit in it though. Keep them on your lap but pay for their ticket.
It doesn't matter where she sits. The rules state that a child over 12 months needs a ticket. You buy the ticket. Why is that even a question? They would never make any money, if all the toddlers who sat on their parent's lap didn't pay. Your child is in the demographic of the show, it's AGE...height has nothing to do with it. They run a business, that your child benefits from. You buy the ticket!!!!!!!!!!
It's age not height. Many is the time I (as a short adult) wish I could sit on someone's lap to see a show. So pay for the ticket, even if you keep her on your lap.
She's going to need her own ticket. They are not going to sit and debate your seating at the box office. Rules are rules.
Buy the ticket. 20 months is older than 12 months. Rules are rules.
Ala Patty K. 20 months is older than 12 months. She needs a ticket.
If I'm being totally honest, I think this is a huge waste of money! Wait a few more years.
this is a waste of money. she won't remember it at all. and the only thing you will remember about it is trying to get her to sit still in her seat. save your money.
we took out boys to see a Barney the dinosaur show when they were toddlers (2 and 3) they don't remember anything at all about it. even looking at the photos my husband took they don't remember it at all.
Those shows are designed for the kids(and parents) to get up and move and dance and sing. I hope you'll have stadium seating, otherwise, if you are on the ground, you won't see anything past all the kids and their parents up front signing and dancing, no matter if you sit or stand.
For the sake of being able to see, I will avoid orchestra seats unless I know the venue and know that the floor is raked (on an angle) in the orchestra area.
Also, a lot of those shows will have a thrust stage, or a runway, making visibility even better.
You should be able to access a show-specific seating chart online.
