Update on Regal Shadowood
Recently we reported that Regal Shadowood 16 has added recliners to their theaters. We have now learned that Shadowood is also offering reserved seating. Or to put it another way, assigned seating.
You can purchase tickets online through Fandango. Since there is now more limited seating, it is a good idea to purchase your tickets ahead of time. If you don’t plan ahead, you might get stuck in the front or another difficult seating situation.
