  "The Wiggles" is one of the most popular television shows on the Disney Channel for children between the ages of two and five. They feature four Wiggles band members; each one is designated with a color. The Red Wiggle, Blue Wiggle, Yellow Wiggle and Purple Wiggle not only sing; they tell stories as well. Occasionally, the Wiggles perform live concerts in various cities throughout the world. If you are attending one of these concerts, consider a few tips to ensure that you and your child have a wonderful time.

Be On Time

  Being on time is important when attending a Wiggles concert. The minute the performers hit the stage, a mom can guarantee her little one will be moving. If you have to spend time searching for your seat within an arena of screaming and dancing children, it can become quite a disturbance for fellow audience members. If attending a concert in a large arena, be there at least 20 minutes in advance, so you can easily locate your seat.

Bring Cold Hard Cash---And Plenty of It.

  Any avid concert goer can tell you all about the vendors that set up those tiny kiosks with all sorts of concert memorabilia. Their sole purpose is to suck the money right out of your pocket. Now imagine your child walking through a sea of Wiggles T-shirts, posters and flags. The set-up to a Wiggles concert is basically the same as any other concert. During intermissions, vendors are in place to sell Wiggles memorabilia.

  According to the Wiggles Website, items are sold at concerts that cannot be purchased in stores. This includes Wiggles cups, hats and kids' shirts. Credit cards are accepted but the preferred method is cash, in case the machines go down. If you're concerned about cost, place a limit on the amount of souvenirs your child can have.

Buy Tickets Early

• There is nothing worse than having a child who cannot see the stage because of the few hundred screaming kids jumping on the chairs in front of him. To possibly eliminate this issue, buy your tickets early. Most of the seats have one flat ticket price, so those kids sitting in the front row paid the same price for those kids sitting in the nose-bleeds. Of course, exceptions apply to premium seats. Wiggles tickets can be bought at a box office or purchased online.

Bathroom Breaks

• It always seems that kids need to go to the bathroom at the most inopportune moments; this includes in the middle of a Wiggles medley. Take your child to the bathroom a few minutes before the concert begins and then again during intermission. Your child will enjoy the concert more without missing a note.
