Even though I'm in a little bit of a financial slump, that's still no reason to sit around and brood about it. I still have my college Student ID and that's something to take advantage of at times of financial strife such as these.
I have been trying to get reasonably priced tickets to Spring Awakening for ages - since it opened over a year ago - but to no avail. Well, now it's closing and I thought that I might try my luck at snagging a Student Rush ticket. BLAST! Foiled again!
This afternoon, I naively approached the Box Office window at the Eugene O'Neil Theater to inquire about such a ticket. "Sorry," the box office attendant replied, "Those tickets go on sale at ten in the morning as soon as the Box Office opens, and by that time there are kids lining the street for a set of tickets. They sell out immediately."
"Oh," I said - my heart sinking. Although, what was I thinking? Of course those tickets are going to be scooped up at the crack of dawn!
The least expensive ticket they had was 87 smackaroos. 87 dollars!?!? Tempted as I was to spring for the ticket to "Spring" Not at a time like this. Since the rest of my week is pretty much planned out, I had to turn that ticket down, and unfortunately Spring Awakening is a show on Broadway that I'm not going to get to see. At least not right now. Maybe I'll catch the touring company - or better yet, JOIN the touring company!
