Abba- Stand or Sit?

For those that have seen the new show, what would you reccomend?
I want to take my Mum, she would be okay to stand, I have noticed a big price difference for sitting rather than standing.
My worry is if sitting, would you even get a good view as I’m sure people would be up and dancing. TIA X

We've been and sat. To be honest I'd happily chose sitting again as there are some songs you just want to stand/seat and enjoy the effects - even those in standing/dancing area where just standing at times - it's a long time to stand/dance - especially when you can have a seat and have the option of both plus sitting. . If you're seated, you're not allowed to move into walk ways for dancing, but you can stand in front of your seat - there's reasonable room and most seating is teared so you won't totally block someone else's view.

How old is your mum?

I'm 60 and we stood (and danced). I found it a bit overcrowded and people were barging into us and, in one case, vomiting.

No issue with the standing, just the audience!

There is no bad view from the seats. We were seated to one side and enjoyed the show. Sitting in the central block of seats will give the best view of the holograms from a technical point of view and I think they are more expensive for that reason.

I wouldn't be that bothered with the dance floor tickets as quite a bit of the show is slower songs and animation on the big screen. If I was going with a large group I could see the dance floor being fun.

We all stood up from our seats and danced for some of the numbers. It's a fantastic show so you'll have a great time whichever tickets you buy.

You will get a better view from a seat. The standing area was crowded. People did stand and dance from the seats but only intermittently and not to every song. It's an amazing show and you will both love it.

Seats definitely have the best view. I remember looking down on the crowded dance floor and being extremely grateful that I didn't book those tickets, too squashed for me.

Thank you so much for all your replies 💜
I think I’m swaying more towards seated, now just to find some tickets 🥴
