Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
LOL, all that reminds me of that time when I went to Sheffield in 2001 to see Edward II at the Crucible with Joseph Fiennes in the lead role. There were quite a few of us and we had tickets for a 10 day run. We got to know the cast pretty well as they always drunk in the theatre bar afterwards, so we got all autographs twice over. We went back for the closing weekend without tickets but got some for all three shows as the cast actually told us how to get standby tickets! We had a great time. I was a bit younger then!

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
This entire week they should be collecting but I suppose Tuesday was an exception because the cast quickly had to get changed for the meet and greet.valda wrote:typical I gave a fiver on Tuesday but no one interesting collecting
Hehe that's awesome. I've had it happen a few times, the worst (best?) one probably being Zachay Quinto who I met years ago before he became "famous" and last I saw him (several years laterBeate wrote:LOL, all that reminds me of that time when I went to Sheffield in 2001 to see Edward II at the Crucible with Joseph Fiennes in the lead role.

Yes, I thought that too, there were changes which definitely makes it more interesting if you are going again and again!canadian_turtle wrote:I have to say that I haven't noticed improvements, but I have noticed changes just to keep it different and interesting each time.

Many thanks for the heads up though! I don't always pick up the papers and next week the reviews will be printed, so would love it if people can give a head's up if they see it in a specific paper so I can pick it up
