Is PIAF in trouble?
Wed, 15 Dec 1999, 04:49 pmThe new look Perth International Arts Festival has hit all kinds of delays over recent months. But the programme of events published and distributed in recent weeks promises some exciting performances and spectacular events.
I certainly hope I'll be able to attend more than a few performances throughout PIAF's run, but this wouldn't appear to be a view shared by many visitors to this site. The current on-line poll is asking visitors how many PIAF events they expect to attend in the New Year. At present 50% of respondents don't plan to see anything at the Festival.
Is this figure representative? A survey of visitors to the site earlier this year:
http://cygnus.uwa.edu.au/%7egmalcolm/cgi-bin/survey/survey.cgi?action=VIEW&filebase=feedback
indicated that about 90% of respondents attended both professional and amateur theatre. Is PIAF a special case?
If you're not planning to see anything at PIAF, why?
Cheers
Grant

Grant,
[Hi, just borrowing someone's net access, love the new site!]
Yes, I fully intend to pay $400+ to see stuff in the Festival...
Yes, I too would love to actually be able to afford that amount of money.
I don't know which category I fall into (Really keen or bit of a mug), but I know that I do not fall into the category of people who can afford to pay these prices (and rarely do).
I do know that I haven't seen any professional theatre in the last half of this year apart from 'Romeo et Juliette'. I missed 'Saltimbanco', 'Hobbit' and 'Chicago' to be able to afford to go to what I want to see at PIAF.
And No, I have no regrets about this course of action.
[Sorry, I think I've used that pun before]
If what you say is true about the amount of comp tickets, thenm I have but one thing to say...
HOW DO I GET ON TO THAT LIST!!!
