Yes, we recommend you come early.  Although there are approximately 9,500 seats, seats closer to the stage fill up early and reserving seats is strongly discouraged.

There are no tickets or reservations, but we recommend you and your party come early to secure one of the 9,500 seats available. Also, be aware that typically the first week has more available seating than the second week.

There are a few locations where blankets can be placed on grass.  Most locations where blankets may be placed are in locations where it is difficult to see the full stage (e.g., off to the sides and/or far away from the stage).

There is no reserved section assigned for those with disabilities.  However, in the middle aisle (starting halfway back), there is a place on the concrete next to each row where someone may place a wheelchair.  These will be available on a first-come/first-served basis.  The seat on the end will be reserved for a person accompanying the person in the wheelchair.

No. The areas where there will be the least amount of walking are closest to the edges of the seating area, and these areas tend to fill up last.  Thus, the areas that are easiest to access for those who have difficulty walking and climbing are most usually available.  Please know there are no parking spaces close to the seating area.  You should expect a walk of some distance from the parking locations.

Seating is based on a first-come, first-served basis. However, one person may reserve up to 4 seats (as long as that person is present).  If a person has difficulty sitting for long periods of time, they can have a family member or friend save their seat until 7:30 p.m. (at which time we will fill any empty seats). There is a closer drop-off location on Hobson just south of the stage.

Yes, on the Southwest and Southeast corners.

Yes. Portable restrooms will be located ONLY on the west side of the temple grounds near the Visitor’s Center. We discourage the use of the Visitor’s Center restrooms for all except those who have disabilities.

There will be ASL interpretation each night during the first week of the pageant. There is an ASL section each night during the first week in the front north seating area.
