2008 Audience Information
SEATING
There is ample seating in the Rotunda area of the Mall
of America for up to 250 people. The stage is set up across the front
and there is a runway section that extends into the heart of our audience.
Preferred Seating is
up close and personal, the first 2 rows of seats around the perimeter of
the runway. This is the section that gets the best view of our handsome
competitors and much of their affection, sweat, and scarves. These seats
are assigned on a first come, first served basis and they sell out quickly.
General Seating provides an excellent view of all competitors and is also focused towards the runway where most of the “action” happens. These seats are not assigned.
Gospel
Breakfast
Sunday, April 20th from 9am to 11am we will have our Gospel Breakfast
at the Days Inn. This is a rich tradition of the Contest of Kings featuring
a delicious breakfast buffet of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, hash brown
potatoes, bacon & sausage links, pastries & muffins, chilled
fruit juice, milk and coffee. This is a fun, informal event where Elvis
Tribute Artists and fans gather to sing the beloved gospel music recorded
by Elvis. It's a great time to share the memories of the weekend with each
other, have a great breakfast, and hear the gospel of our Lord sung by
these talented artists. Cost for this is $15 per person. To order tickets click
