Like just getting a ticket doesn't mean you can sit anywhere I am assuming (how it used to be without tickets).

So Friday at 10AM all of the front row seats will be gobbled up and servers crash, etc etc?

I can only "guess" that they, too, are aware of this and have taken proactive measures. 

But that's just a guess....

I would assume so as well. Guess we will see. This type of ticketing mechanism never works.

I think it's going to just award "best available seats" based on the number needed. But I'm not totally sure on that part....

Pretty sure there are assigned seats. Like very, very sure 

This wold be great but I'm reading everywhere else that the seats won't be assigned. Here's hoping!

Will you post that where you're seeing it if you don't mind? Or let me know where....

I spoke to the person who implemented the ticket idea a few weeks ago and he told me about it. The whole purpose of the tickets is to assign seats so that there isn't a mad rush and there aren't people holding seats or fighting over seats. Not having assigned seats would do nothing to alleviate those problems. The safety of the fans if the sole purpose of doing it. He also told me there would be ushers and everything would be run as if it was a normal Sunday.

Good, last year was a complete logistical nightmare.  Way more ppl showed than expected, concessions ran out etc.. Cam put on a show and the fireworks show was excellent.  I'm sure they will be more than prepared this time.

They're having a band this year before the fireworks.....so that's fun!

"A reserved ticket will be required for entry". This is what I'm seeing.

Just (re)confirmed it's definitely assigned seating.

My apologies @RoaringRiot. When I went back & looked, it was a few statements from Facebook comments. I oughta' know better. I'm glad it's assigned seating because we won't be able to get there by 6:00. Thanks for confirming that.

No reason to apologize. I agree it was a little confusing so I'm glad we were able to confirm it. That what the discussion is for.

Last year was so sick.  Best fireworks show adding the lasers I've ever seen.  I had great seats got there early.  Can't afford those seats on game day lol.  I'll be sitting with the laptop at 9:59 on Friday.  Hope I can get two.
