I was told that I could only sit according to my ticket. I totally understand that if the show was completely sold…”

“Brett was hands down the best Segway guide and trainer we ever had. It was our friends first time riding (age 66 and 70) and they were nervous. He trained them inside of the office and they were very comfortable before we ever left. Can’t wait to do it again. Tommy was also wonderful at training and blocked traffic for us.”
