Realized this has been discussed via twitter but not on the disboards, and since these boards helped me so much with planning, I’d give some info.
Starting a few weeks ago, DLP started a special offer for people who have MasterCards (any card, doesn’t have to be French or Euro; I used my card, which btw has the logo in silver for aesthetics, so I had to point it out to the CMs). You can get tickets for a reserved seating section for yourself plus up to 4 guests. Currently, it is available for Mickey and the Magician, Marvel Superheroes United, and Motors Stunt Show. You get them from either guest relations at the Studios or City Hall at Disneyland Parc. You just show your card, though they may ask for ID too, and they print out paper tickets. You are supposed to arrive 30 minutes before showtime and enter with rest of people (not with the AP priority group), but the reserved area has been blocked out and a CM is stationed there to make sure only ticket holders get into it. I attended Mickey that way a few days ago and the section was the center back row of the bottom section; I also saw Marvels section which was in the center of the first 2 rows of the upper section. Pretty prime locations! Immediately before showtime the CMs will remove the barriers and anyone can take any remaining seats.
So, some caveats:

So, some caveats:
- You can only do 1 show per day
- There are only 20 seats per showing, so these tickets go FAST! People in the know will literally will run from gates opening to City Hall or guest relations.
- City Hall opens earlier than GR, so even though the shows are at the Studios, sometimes all tickets will be gone before that it opens. Officially I think City Hall opens at 8:15, but this morning I was there for the gate opening from Disney Village to the park entrance areas (8am), and the turnstiles were already open at Disneyland and so was City Hall (I do not know if this is a regular occurrence). Meanwhile, the studios turnstiles and GR won’t open until 8:30.
- If you don’t get there for the beginning of Extra Magic Time, you’re going to be out of luck. Right now Marvel runs out extremely quickly. Magician not long after that. Motors is usually available later.
