And so it begins....
*The Phone Rings*
Angela: Hello
Caller: Is this Angela?
Angela: Yes.
Caller: I just went down to buy tickets for You're a Good Man Charlie Brown and they refused to sell me tickets.
Angela: Are you a Season Ticket holder?
Caller: No, but I don't see how that makes any difference.
Angela: Our policy is to sell only to Season Ticket holders for the first week. You can buy your tickets on Monday.
Caller: But I NEED 20 tickets for the April 15th show!
Angela: That's a popular date. I had already presold half that date.
Caller: Well *I* want a presale.
Angela: I can only set up a presale if you contact me BEFORE the tickets go on sale, you will have to wait until next week. And I do not presale more than half of any show, so there is nothing I can do for you.
Caller: But I NEED 20 tickets for April 15th!
Angela: I am sorry, but you'll have to try the outlets on Monday.
Caller: But I NEED 20 tickets for April 15th! And Rice's already had less than 20 tickets.
Angela: Perhaps your group can go on a different date? We do have a show on Easter Sunday.
Caller: EASTER SUNDAY??!! No we can't! Thanks for NOTHING!
*CLICK*
*SIGH* I expect to repeat this same conversation at least two dozen more times in the next month. :)
