Viewing Stands for Mardi Gras

How does one go about getting into viewing stands at Mardi Gras in New Orleans for the big parades...Endymion, Bacchus, Zulu/Rex?
My parents used to catch a bus at Calandro's on Mardi Gras Day at stupid o'clock in the morning and ride down to NOLA. They would watch the parades from the stand, and have access to a hotel lobby with snacks and a clean bathroom. The cost seemed pretty reasonable. However, the company that provided this service doesn't do that anymore.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of other companies that sell access? I have a large group coming in from out of town and overseas for Mardi Gras next year, and would like to be able to watch from a grandstand as opposed to fighting the crowds. We are all over 50 for the most part.
Thanks

You have to be a block of voting constituent that the politicians pander to if you get my drift.

I get invited because of my work with the city. They basically tell me to pick which parade I want to go to and email them and then I’m on the list or whatever. I’ve actually never done it, so I’m not sure on that last part.

Had a full page ad in Arthur Hardy Mardi Gras Guide, so seems legit.
