Would you wait in line?
Tickets for the Broadway production of The Lion King went on sale in Honolulu last Saturday. It’s been all over the news since people started lining up on Friday, with pictures of people camping out at the ticket office featured in the newspaper and on every local TV channel. Now it’s news because early sales broke some previously established records, with 19,000 tickets being sold the first day.
I’ve never participated in one of those marathon ticket waits and I’m wondering what motivates people to do it. Have you ever camped out on a side walk in order to be get theater or concert tickets? What would it take to make you do it, and how long would you be willing to wait? And if you have done it, answer me this: do people steal your place in line when you have to go to the bathroom? Is there an established protocol for such things? It would be a total bummer if you had to go tothe back of the line evey time nature called!

Never waited in a marathon line and I don’t think I would.

I’ve tried to think of something that would motivate me to do it, Whim. I keep coming up blank. I don’t like crowds anyway, so why would I want to go to a production that was so popular that it had people waiting in line for days? Nope, not for me!

Mahlo nui loa for the honor, Deb. I think you’re probably a little misguided, but since you’re a thinking blogger I’ll just have to accept that you know what you’re doing. ;0)
