@cheeriosmuncher #1 get there an hour early and get in line. When we got there, there was a line going all the way down the boardwalk, but we still had excellent spots. #2 We did not spend outrageous money for the LM VIP package. As soon as you get through security and the ticket checking, walk really FAST, DON'T RUN! You'll get thrown out, then we got on the floor and there was 1 row of people on the cat walk, but I squeezed my way into the first row :-D! Good luck to you!
