We really enjoyed this event! My friend and I drove for 4 hours with 4 boys to see this!
We had awesome seats ( although not VIP ), we were up close to see the dragons coming over to the sides which was super exciting and maybe a little scary for the boys!
We were sitting along the side of the stage and the VIP's were facing straight on to the stage and back wall which would have been a better view with how they used the wall with the projection screen to make the scenes feel like it was happening outdoors ( for example when the dragons were flying the scenes of the water below them and going over tree tops ). But we were so close to the dragons that we felt we had a better seat than the VIP's.
I think the price of the VIP seating was a rip off. I understand that you get to do the backstage thing too but it was way too pricey. The way our seats were, we had 3 empty rows in front of us due to the heat of the fire that puffs up through out the show. So we were row 4 with no one in front of us which was great.
