Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
It's not the first time. It sucks but there's nothing we can do about it really, we didn't even p*y for the tickets.

On a happier note (though not so happy for me as this is during work hours)

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
Not sure why this was the case as there were lots of odd seats here and there (some pairs, some singles) amongst the SFF allocation and there was actually an entire row (which I moved to) in the Grand Circle that was completely empty i.e. nobody was sitting on that row.milkchocmonkey wrote: i thinkt he cancellation email was to stop too many people coming as they apparently turned a lot of people away yesterday.

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
I predict loads of people will not bother turning up tonight/tomorrow for fear of being turned away and there will be empty seats.
