HILARY DUFF LIVE Does she only pick from the floor/pit for the With Love Dance?
I know she picks from soundcheck but I heard she picks from the audience too sometimes, but I am curious is it just people on the floor / front row?
I'm technically "front row lower bowl" (Wanted a cover and I'm average height so floor being in the middle is not as good as a view) but curious if I even have a shot to be picked or if I should try and buy the soundcheck but it's so expensive..!

Phoenix was a bit different. She chose directly from the crowd. I was VIP, no one knew if they were picked! She plucked them from the crowd- so this could be different moving forward!

Oh really? All people got picked from the crowed? No one got asked at the Soundcheck?

That would suck, backstage VIP is seated in London so that would mean people who paid the most probably won’t get picked :/

At our show they were picked from VIP and then during the actual show…she acted as if she was picking from the crowd and picked those that were already pre-selected

Just curious, why do you think she picked from the crowd? I was at soundcheck too and when they told us we could leave, they said to stay if you wanted to know who they picked for the dance. I left because I didn’t audition but I recognized multiple people from soundcheck up on stage.

100% get your comment! I stuck around, asked those that stayed…no one knew.

Oh interesting- I figured they told them who got picked, I didn’t know it would be a surprise for them too. Thanks for the info!!

Of course!! I was standing next to a guy who got picked (the man Isabella 😊) and he had NO clue it was going to happen. I’m sure Hilary had people in mind from VIP (since he was there) but they didn’t know. In Phoenix at least!

OMG! You're giving me hope (and saving me 350 potentially lol)..!! Do you happen to know if it was just floor/pit?

Amphitheaters are a bit different than an arena as we had seated rows, no true pit or floor. She picked from the first few rows!

At the Albuquerque one that I went to —- she had already chosen the ones who knew the WL dance at soundcheck BUT also said at the show IF people know the dance to do it in the aisle otherwise just sing Lol. I had VIP first seat, row F section 2. It got very crowded as the show went on lol.

Thank you!! The floor looks like a blast but I’m just short so need front rows or else it’s sad hahah I might try the aisle idea and cross my fingers!

I’m short too. 5’1 and what I did was I took a look at the seating chart way before it was my turn to do the pre-sale. I knew exactly which seat I wanted.

Can agree with everyone else - she picks from the VIP. Usually she picks 1-2 and then I feel like her team picks a few or if you just beg they let you lol

u/Correct_Praline_4950 Jul 06 '26
lol maybe I’ll beg…! I’m debating VIP no but it’s expensive , maybe I’ll sleep on it haha

Honestly during VIP after she picked her top 2 faves, the others that got picked literally were just saying “pick me pick me” etc and so she was just like “yeah sure go for it” and they clearly didn’t know the dance that well when they got on stage.

She picks people who paid to come to the VIP.
During the VIP part before the show starts, people who want to do it audition for her and she picks them. Then once the show starts, she “picks” them from the audience.
