POLL: How many seats do you buy at the Royal Opera House?

[alison]

So, following on from the discussion here:

https://www.balletcoforum.com/topic/23871-collective-letter-to-friends-of-covent-garden-regarding-allocation-of-single-seats/?tab=comments#comment-343862

 

I thought it would be interesting to find out what numbers of tickets forum members who go to the ROH tend to buy.  It's multiple choice, so you can select as many as apply.  Answers should be aren't actually anonymous, although I hope it's only Moderators who can see who's voted - could a non-Moderator confirm by hovering their mouse over the "person" symbols on the right-hand side of the poll, please?

 

Do I need to add further options?  Please post here ASAP if so, so that the results aren't too skewed.  Or if you have any comments/discussion, for that matter.

Good poll Alison.  I'm not as frequent a visitor as many on here but over the last few years maybe 10-15 a year and only single seats.  Even if I have been meeting up with people we have all booked our own tickets.

I've ticked 'sometimes one, sometimes two' in the poll, because that would apply in normal times. At the moment it would have to be 'one', if such a thing were available...

I can't see who voted for what.

ah, my bad.

As an Access member, I “buy” one but get a companion seat, so I guess I should tick two?

[alison]

Guess so.  It was more a question of whether you attend/sit on your own.

That's why I went for the One option, as even when my mother comes with me we usually sit separately so I'm purchasing single seats.

Interesting to note that, although I said multiple choices were possible, everyone seems to have gone for just one - unless my approximate maths skills are poorer than I thought

 

I'm afraid I ended up picking "One" - even when a friend has expressed interest in going to see something or other, I've learned from bitter experience not to bother waiting for them to decide, even when I've given them plenty of warning, because otherwise I end up missing out as the ticket supply has run out before they've made up their mind!

there’s at least one poster (not me) who has chosen more than one option.

[alison]

Oh, right, I didn't do my maths accurately enough, then.

Thank you for doing this, Alison. Very interesting.
