A Christmas Carol Seattle Theatre reviews
Wonderful Experience
I did not know what to expect with the angle of section 127 but I was not disappointed. The game was excellent to watch and the seats provided a good view of the pitch. The A Christmas Carol cater to their fans well by not charging for parking and creating an exciting atmosphere.
After waiting far longer than necessary to pick up my tickets, I would like the Will Call situation to be improved. Despite my affection for having a proper ticket, I will probably print from home next time. I felt the line for buying tickets the day of may have actually been quicker, and I wouldn't have had to pay the processing/transaction fee that is connected to the convenience of buying online.
