Listen up, Rock Stars! The reserved seating selection process for the 2026 cruise will kick off soon and based on the awesome feedback we received during and after the 2025 cruise, we are making some changes to ensure a smooth selection process AND an enjoyable onboard experience.

Even if you have previously had reserved seats, we highly recommend reading this page in its entirety. Want to sit with your friends? Check out the Group Seating Program below!

The reserved seat selection process is based on when your 2026 reservation was made; the earlier you booked, the earlier your selection window! To ensure a manageable number of guests are online at one time and don’t overload our Commodore 64, only 100 reservations will be allowed to select their seats at any given time.

Your selection window will open at your designated time and will remain open until October 27 at 5 PM Central Time, 2025.

Reserved seats will be selected online through the BOOKED GUESTS portal on The80sCruise.com. The selection process is very similar to any Ticketmaster or online ticketing program, but without the additional fees 😉 and takes less than a minute! If you are unable to LOG IN HERE, please contact a Reservation Specialist at 844.384.8080 or email info@The80sCruise.com

  1. Prior to your assigned Selection Window, we recommend reviewing the map of the Lyric Theater HERE. Please note, the seat numbers and sections have been updated from previous years. The stage is located at the “top” of your screen.
  2. Log into your 80s Cruise account at your assigned selection window . Do not have your account open in multiple windows. Please note, the selection process is NOT optimized for mobile.
  3. Click SELECT SHOW SEATS.
  4. Click ADD 1st SHOW/2nd SHOW RESERVED SEATING BUTTON found at the bottom of the screen.
  5. Enter the token that will be emailed to you prior to your selection window and click submit. Be sure there are no extra spaces or blanks if you copy and paste your token.
  6. Select your preferred section of the theater – Lower Orchestra, Upper Orchestra, or Balcony. Select the seat(s) you wish to reserve – you must select contiguous seats.
  7. Select ADD TO RESERVATION and you are finished!

Talking During Performances – To ensure an enjoyable experience for all guests, we ask that you refrain from conversations during performances, whether you are seated or standing at the back of the theater. So, out of respect for the performers and your fellow guests, once the show begins please take conversations outside the venue. Continued disruptions will result in removal from the venue.

Keeping Your Seat – Guests who qualify and select their reserved seat are entitled to keep their seats throughout the entirety of the main show. Guests that do not have reserved seating will be informed of this rule and will be asked to move if seated in a seat marked RESERVED.

Attending Both Shows – It’s no lie, The 80s Cruise puts on top notch concerts all week long. As past guests, you know we split each show into two performances, so EVERY guest can see these incredible shows. Guests with BLUE SeaPass Cards will attend the early/1st Main Show (starting around 6:30 PM) and guests with RED SeaPass Cards will attend the late/2nd Main Show (starting around 9:00 PM). Guests are required to adhere to their Main Show Time and will NOT be allowed into other shows. SeaPass Cards will be checked prior to entering the Main Theater.

Rushing The Stage – Look, it’s a concert, we get it, but the safety of our guests is a top priority. Rushing the stage and obstructing aisles will be strictly prohibited and extra security will be in place to enforce this rule. Dancing like Ren McCormick and having a good time is entirely acceptable and encouraged, but we ask that you remain close to your seat, not obstruct the view of others, and don’t act like a Biff Tannen.

 

Guests are encouraged to take as many photos and videos as they wish, but there may be times in which guests may be asked to refrain from taking photos/videos due to talent requests.

If you take photos during performances, to maintain a respectful and enjoyable environment for all guests, performers, and staff, the Onboard Guest Photo and Video Policy must be observed.

Please review the complete Onboard Guest Photo and Video Policy, please CLICK HERE. Please note, our professional photo/video team will make photos from the Main Shows available for free download on our website post cruise.

The 80s Cruise is proud to offer group seating for those who qualify for reserved seats and wish to sit with other guests who also have reserved seats.

How do I register for group seating?

What sections of the theater will be available for group seating?

Group seating will only be available in the Upper Orchestra and Balcony sections. Groups will not be assigned to the Lower Orchestra section.

How and when will groups select seats?

Groups will not select seats online, but rather your seats will be assigned, based on your preferences. Group seats will be confirmed with the designated group leader NO LATER THAN November 11, after all selection windows have had their opportunity to select seats.

Can my group relocate if we do not like our assigned seats?

Yes, based on availability. Groups cannot be seated in the Lower Orchestra, and all changes must be made by November 17th.

Can I bail on my group if I don’t like our seats?

Yes, but if you wish to have a reserved seat you must select by November 17th or lose your reserved seating privilege.

Click HERE to view a map of the Lyric Theater. Seats in Yellow are available to be reserved. Seats in Blue are NOT available to be reserved and for General Admission only. Seats in Green are blocked for Accessible Seating. Any Yellow seat that is NOT reserved will then be made available for General Admission.
