Lehcar28 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 That moment when you arrive at the theatre to be told the show is tomorrow!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Macmillan Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 .... but arguably better than being told it was yesterday? 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Think of it as 'a senior moment'. Progressively I have more and more of them myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I remember cases of people turning up for evening performances at the Royal Opera House when they had a matinee ticket, things like that. On at least one occasion, the ROH were very good and found them some seats anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I did show up once for a talk given by a local celebrity, clutching my book for signing, only to be told I was a whole week early! The people at the venue were very helpful and even said I was welcome to stay for the event being held that night. Perhaps they needed to make up numbers. When I did return on the correct date, the celebrity talk was one of the most bizarre things I have ever been to. At least he signed my book though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailR Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 This brought back a funny memory - a few years ago I turned up at the Barbican a year early !! It took a while wandering around to the different spaces there before I sat down and looked at my ticket 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 That's the Barbican's fault for selling tickets 18 months in advance, isn't it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrise Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I used to usher at the National Theatre and my heart always to used to break a bit during the nightly ritual of customers who'd stroll in at 19:25 to see The History Boys (sold out for months) and breaking it to them that they were in the wrong theatre, that it had transferred to the Wyndham's and they'd have to find a cab or leg it to Leicester Sq knowing full well they'd never make it... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
