Creativity starves insanity
The heady world of buying tickets is fraught with much deliberation and frustration. An act that should be better left to those of stronger convictions.
The rushing horde of State of Origin and cricket fans vie for a spot in line behind. Edgy, they have to wait until the box office really opens for theirs at 0900. Man at the register knows what they're in line for. He also knows that there are five minutes between the easy sale and the hard sell. He goes for the subversive.
"What's ten more dollars?" he asks, as he pulls up fourth row tickets for The Producers. From thoughts of snaring B grade, they turn in an instant over to the dark side of the A grade. Far closer to the action, and far from Statler and Waldorf. Remorse overwhelms the seconds away in the walk back through the MetCentre of Wynyard station.
Even with days sorting out where exactly seats were going to be at The Producers, it all fell down on the ground. This over on the tip that waiting a little more, just a day, might have saved ten or twenty dollars. A course of action following the news that the Lyric Theatre are not one to cooperate with The Program in handing out review tickets.
Worst case scenario involves enjoying the show from the fourth row stalls. Best case is finding a balcony pair willing to swap at no extra charge. Either way, this will be the last for a long time.
