Overheard @ The Desk
Customer: “Look, I don’t want to wait outside in that line, I want a single ticket for the Wicked. What do I do?”
Agent: “I can get you a single, no problem – it’ll be $159.00 – the $159.00 is inclusive of the box-office price, service and handling fees and all taxes, both city and state as we are a ticket reseller and besides, after six years as the highest grossing Broadway show, without the benefit of a Best Musical Tony, yet, I doubt today’ll be the day Wicked goes up at TKTS. TKTS has only a select group of shows on any given day and Wicked being the top grossing show on Broadway, it really doesn’t need to seel it’s tickets at half-price.”
Customer: ” Oh, a friend, who lives here, told me that everything is at TKTS and I shouldn’t get my ticket in advance because I could get it cheaper the on day of.”
Agent: “When you see to your friend, tell ‘em, ‘thanks for nothing!’”
