I guess that depends on the date you're going..

When I went 2 weeks back on a Friday, literally straight to gate..I reach at 9plus thou..

But doubt u can beat the crowd, a lot of ppl one..crowds are more on the rides and shows..

Anybody has seen Big Band Beat at Disneysea? Any idea when the fast pass tickets will run out on weekdays?

Big Band Beat does not have fast pass.

it uses a lottery system, except the first show of the day.

Sorry i meant lottery. I am travelling with a bigger group next time so unlikely everyone would be lucky.

You ballot together with the whole group. If you still would like to watch Big Band Beat, you could queue for the circle seats. First come first serve upstairs. Been there twice - one queue back in November 2010, one ballot in April this year. The songs sung are in English. Both times we watched it at ground level.

On PHs, there's no balloting if I didn't recall wrongly.

You won't get to beat the locals. Lol.

They really run for best seats and queues. I won't suggest going there during long holidays e.g. GW and Obon. Experienced first hand on both weeks. Haha.

When is GW and Obon?

Thanks. If I have 9-10 in a group, the chances would not be high I suppose unless I break it down into 3-4 people in a group and the rest queue for baclony seats. Not sure if this is recommended.

When is GW and Obon?

Golden Week - 29 April to 5 May
Obon - Mid August

No difference on number of people in a group. It's a 50-50. You choose the timing of the show then number of people then it'll show whether you got the seats.
