What Are Hot Potato Seats at a Wiggles Concert?

The Wiggles, launched in Australia in 1991, became one of the most popular children's entertainment groups in the world. They dance, sing, tell stories and perform educational skits. Sam, Murray, Jeff and Anthony -- as well as their characters Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus and Captain Feathersword the Friendly Pirate -- have been called the world's most popular rock band for preschoolers.



The Wiggles attract enthusiastic young fans to their stage show, whose venues often include the in-demand "Hot Potato" seats.

  1. Definition

    • Hot Potato Seats vary in each venue, but they are generally considered the floor and low riser seats at a show. In most venues, these are the first eight to 10 rows of seats, nearest the stage. The seats are named after one of The Wiggles' most popular songs, "Hot Potato."

    Benefits

    • The Hot Potato Seats are considered the VIP seats for the show. Guests sitting in this special section receive an exclusive gift along with a coloring activity sheet and a chance to dance along with the Wiggles themselves during audience-participation portions of the show.

    Demand

    • These are often the most in-demand tickets for The Wiggles shows; however, they are not always the most expensive. Generally, the Hot Potato Seats are in the mid- to upper-price range, which varies from venue to venue.

    Access

    • To reserve tickets in the Hot Potato Seat section of a show, call the venue directly. In many cases, it is not noted online which seats are in this special section.
