Dance tickets for sale
My school is having its dance show the first weekend of May, but the tickets went on sale this weekend.
Our school was having problems with our old system of selling tickets. Parents of dancers used to have no trouble buying their tickets, but they had to go to the show early and wait in line to get a good seat. Parents would line up outside the Auditorium doors for hours behind dozens of people who cut in front of them claiming their spots were saved. When they finally got inside the auditorium there would be seats saved everywhere. There was always that group of seats saved which remained empty half way through the show, meanwhile you keep starring at those empty seats you could be in while you’re stuck up in the far corner. Anyways, needless to say the old system didn’t work well.
Now when you buy your ticket you chose which seat you’d like to sit in, and your ticket ha your seat number on it. Sounds like a good enough plan. Well when the tickets go on sale it’s a mad dash to get a good seat. Eager dance parents wait up to three hours to buy 15$ dance show tickets to see there kids in a few dances. By the end of the first day of ticket sales all the good seats are gone. Dancer moms waited in line for dance show tickets the way they’d we’d wait in line for tickets to our favorite band. Hours lining up down the streets of Greenfield Park on a Sunday morning; I can’t imagine it.
Well I hope it’s worth the wait guys, I think it’ll be a good show!
I love the way you wrote this. It has truth in it about how ticket sales are at cameron. It’s crazy, really. My parents usually get tickets late and get crap seats
it’s cause they usually forget about the show.. Needless to say, they can’t see me that well when I’m dancing. And I hate it. I’m trying to get them to buy their tickets this week atleast.
Great job on the blog.
