Originally Posted By Mrs ElderP I know that Elderp and I have watchen candelight twice, never getting a reservation. The first time was in conjunction with another wonderful LPer, we met at 10am, staked out a bench and waited until the preformance in the evening. I don't think that we had to be there quite *that* early, but if you want to have a seated position, that you don't have to pay for you are going to have to be to Candelight quite a bit early. (Noon, or shortly there after, I think.) However, last year we got to the park about 45 minutes before the start and got a close standing position from which we could hear wonderfully, but could also see very little. Because this is a concert and a mostly auditory experiance, that didn't bother me. I know many other people have had success in enjoying a day at the park and swooping in for their bench seat as soon as the first preformance of the evening is over, waiting then for a little over an hour for the second preformance. So, the lesson is, there are always trade offs.
