Buying Theater Tickets
Susie: I can’t believe I’m going to get to see my favorite actor in a Play. I want Front row seats!
David: I’m looking at the Venue’s seating plan right now and all front row seats are Taken for the entire Run. I’m guessing that Season ticket holders got those.
Susie: Damn! All right. Let’s try to get seats as close to the Stage as possible, preferably in the Orchestra.
David: The only orchestra tickets still available have Partially obstructed views.
Susie: Okay, we’ll take those.
David: But we won’t be able to see the entire stage. These tickets in the Loge or Mezzanine, or even the Balcony will give us a better view of the play.
Susie: I don’t need to see every part of the play. I just want to get as close to him as possible.
David: Wait one second. I see two seats in the second row still available for the Matinee performance. Oh no, those are seats for Wheelchair access.
Susie: That’s great! We’ll take those.
David: But neither of us needs wheelchair access.
Susie: I’ll Break a leg if I have to to get that close to him.
David: Do the words “Obsessed fan” mean anything to you?
Susie: You can call it obsession, but I call it Devotion!
