Just had a most illuminating conversation with someone at Cecil Sharpe House. I was trying to buy a day ticket (£25), but none were left... all sold out....... . --but I could buy an afternoon ticket (£12) , and an evening ticket (£15)............ My question to them, and this is where they had problems grasping this concept.. What is the difference beween an ALL-DAY ticket and me purchasing both an AFTERNOON and an EVENING ticket?? Do I miss-out on anything?? -brunch breakfast with Eliza Carthy perhaps? -High tea with cumcumber sandwiches or an 'ACCESS ALL AREAS' back-stage pass? -access to the 'Green room'? The very bubbly and helpful lady did seem to grasp the theory eventually, and the answer ..Nothing, you see everything an all-day ticket holder sees (although she did accidently drop in the expression VIP). Okay, so I am paying two pounds ($4)extra, but If I have one ticket for each segment, don't I take up the same space as a day-ticket holder? Here's the math... 1A+1E = 1D can't the computer do this equation, or the human operator? She said there were no seat reservations (apart from VIPs of course), So when is an afternoon and an evening not a day, why, in the dim twilight of the EFDSS marketing dept. ........ so don't be put distracted by a tall blue box appearing suddenly towards the rear of the stage, just nod and say 'Hello, nice to see you Doctor..has the TARDIS got an all day or combined Afternoon/Evening ticket? Let's see what he says!
