There's ALWAYS *ONE* &^$%&!, isn't there?!
Tue, 17 Aug 2004, 12:00 pmThis "HOLE" in my bookings is *really* starting to *^%!#! me off!
If you've been involved in theatre for any time at all, you'll know what I'm talking about...
WHY is it there's *ALWAYS* one night in a season where, no matter how well tickets are selling generally, it's own bookings are so ROTTEN they remind you of a BLACK HOLE? Sucking up all the light and noise around it... sucking in general!
AND you can NEVER PREDICT *when* it'll be... it just appears!
Two hours ago, I was sitting here looking at this *sand trap* in my booking summary wondering just HOW I'd make the situation better...
You see, I *like* to work under the assumption that having *somebody* in an audience (no matter how much they paid) is better than playing to an empty house - you've probably been in that exact same situation yourself?
So, after much to-ing and fro-ing, arguing, and 'gnashing of teeth' here's what I've *finally* been authorised to do - but only for this ONE PERFORMANCE, to make the night WORTH the DOING...
***You can come along this ONE performance of "Agency" for a flat *NINE BUCKS* per ticket (instead of the usual $18.00)!***
Now, you can come by yourself, or with a group of friends... but make no mistake -- this price will not be offered again! As I said, it's only there to make up for "Murphy's Law" No. 97 of the theatre... the one that says "There'll *always* be one totally unexpected, awesomely s***-house night for bookings!" :o)
What: "Agency" by Diana Day
When: Thurday 19th August, 8pm
Where: Blue Room Theatre
Price: 50% Limited Discount -- $9 FLAT (instead of $18.00)
Conditions:
1. Offer is *only* for ITA website patrons and their *immediate* friend or Family, and;
2. When booking, you MUST MENTION that you want the "BLACK HOLE" $9 SPECIAL DISCOUNT only available for Thurday 19th August's performance of "Agency."

Looking at the rest of my booking sheets, I can safely say this will be the ONLY opportunity you'll now get for a discount... and in some cases your only opportunity for a ticket AT ALL!
Look forward to seeing you there!
Regards,
Jason
