2009-10 Season Brochure

Any input on the latest brochure, selections, pricing, policy regarding replacement
should tickets be lost, refunds due to unforseen circumstances and last BUT not least
all unsold show tickets, along with all "Specialty Dance tickets" ( Thanksgiving,
New Year's Eve and Sweetheart's Ball) becoming available 0ctober 26th?
The last policy, favors a small portion (500 odd )residents, could scalping then
occur? Any thoughts?

Buying Show Tickets Monthly

Yesterday I had my first experience of buying show tickets. I had picked up the program list for March when it came out in February and decided to buy a few tickets. I went into the office and was told to come back February 25th. I thought that was odd as the person who sells tickets wasn't doing much at the time. I was there at 9:00AM when they start to sell the tickets. What a mad house. I was 45th in line and told to wait in room C, I believe with the other buyers. I was told by the guard that someone had come at 6:30AM and that there were only a few tickets let for The Platters, one of the groups I was interested in. Thanks to a generous lady that I know from a club I managed to get tickets to the shows that I wanted that I would not have been able to get if I had waited hours in line. I am the proud possessor of row 1 seat, 1 tickets to four shows. Who in WPRF ever came up with this system of buying the show tickets should have their head examined. I decided not to get tickets in advance as you cannot ask for your preferred seats. Will I be able to see from seat 1 row 1, probably not but since they are musical I can close my eyes and listen. If I were able to get the tickets weeks earlier would I have gotten better seats, probably. Since the list of shows are published months earlier so people can buy tickets in advance why not sell tickets after the season tickets buyers are taken care of? That way they can be sold throughout the year as people are inspired to buy them and people won't feel compelled to bring a sleeping bag and sleep out to be first in line. I think that WPRF should take another look at how they sell the tickets and get with it.

Picking Clubhouse Shows

What do you think are the ‘best shows’?? Many of them repeat each season. I order a small selection of shows each year and try to pick those that are popular, easy to sell in case I cannot attend. I think the recent show was a goodie ‘Frankie Kein’.
I look for energy, dance, showmanship, sparkling costumes. (Shrieking singing I can live without).
Please give your recommendations.
