$100 Dollars worth of tickets...

Customer: Hi. I'd like $100 worth of tickets.

Box Office: Oook. For what performance?

Customer: Yeah. For the June 11th show.


[side note: There are 3 shows on June 11th. Two at this location and one at our other theater]


Box office: Ok sure. Which of the performances on the 11th? For here or [at our other building]?

Customer: Here? Yes... Here.

Box office: Ok. So there are two shows here that day, one at 2 o'clock and one at 6 o'clock. Did you want tickets for one of them or both? And how many tickets did you need?

Customer: There are two different shows? I can't buy tickets and get into the shows? You need different tickets for each show? I want $100 dollars worth of tickets for both.


Box office: Ooook. Yes, there are separate tickets sold for each performance. So you want 100 worth of tickets for each of the shows??? Or between the shows??? And approximately HOW MANY TICKETS did you need?

Customer: I dont know. I just need only 100 dollars worth of tickets.

Box office: Ok. Soooo would you like 4 tickets for the matinee and 4 the evening show?

[side note: Tickets are 15 dollars each. We are assuming she wants to spend $50 for the 2pm and $50 for the evening since she wont tell us the number of tickets she needs for the shows]


Customer: No. No, no, no, no. I didnt think this would be so hard!! Just give me two tickets for the 2pm and the rest in the evening!


[The Box office offers her two seats and after going back and forth a bit she picks two seats. This leaves $70 dollars left to spend for the evening--about 4 or 5 tickets depending ]


Box Office: Ok so for the evening. Did you want 4 or 5 tickets for the evening?

Customer: Wait, how much are the tickets for this show?

Box office: The tickets are 15 dollars each.

Customer: Ok. Tell me where 4 seats are.

[The box office tells her locations for 4 seats and she agrees to it]

Box office: Ok so your total--

Customer: [cutting off the box office speaking] How many tickets are left in that row?

Box office: Well there are 7 seats left in that row.

Customer: Give me the rest of the row. No, wait. Just give me 5 more tickets in that row. I want her to sit with her friends too.

Box Office: Okay. Sure. [we sell her the tickets and she storms out of the building]



*Side note: She ended up paying for "165 dollars worth of tickets"*
