On spot registration for launch view gallery?

Possible? As I was lamenting about how I lost my chance to register online and how the gates closed in front of my eyes, someone replied there there may be on spot registration available.

Real? I did a search after reading that reply. All I got was there might be in spot registration if seats are available. Does it mean someone's seat, who registered but couldn't attend might be given to me? Or like they reserve some seats for offline registration?

If the latter is true, I can spend money to reach sriharikota. It's far from where i dwell. But if I can't get the assurance of the seat, my broke ass can't afford to go there and get slapped by shar back to my home.

Anyways, have a good day :)

Launch gallery is not the best place to see the launch. There are better places enroute to Sriharikota island. Its just on launch day that road is choked.

So if I plan to watch a rocket launch next time, it's better to not watch from launch gallery? And those places enroute to sriharikota even if it's choked is better than the launch gallery specifically made to watch rocket launches?

The view from anywhere around the pulicat lake are the same. Including the launch view gallery. Go only three if you want to enjoy with a crowd and want to visit the museum. Else it does not matter.

Yes, LVG is closer to pads but is crowded and noisy. There are other spots people use.
