There were quite a few people finding their way into empty seats in the front rows. Do they even have ushers at the bottom of the stairs going up to the 2nd level? We always come in through the Club, with the rest of the Chosen Ones, and out from there. The ushers at the top's primary concern is keeping the riff raff out the Club and, occasionally, halting the flow back to their seats right before a play starts .... which, as an aisle sitter, I really appreciate. We very rarely have problems with squatters in our section (214), or the next one over that I can see. If you've got the same people without the proper tickets repeatedly coming back into your section, and the regular usher/security isn't doing anything about it, I'd ask to speak to a supervisor. I'm in 125. Ushers were there, but they didn't check for tickets. Same in 126 tonight too.... And God dammit it security comes down one more time to threaten us with getting kicked out for standing WHEN APPROPRIATE I'm done with buying STH's to support this school. If everybody is standing, wtf can they do?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want everyone to know that I practiced great restraint in responding to this post. Therefore, I shall remain mute on this subject, forever forward. But it really was funny, at least to some of us. Edited September 2, 2012 by Bullwinkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you know that there are taxpaying US Americans, such as, the Iraq and the South Africa......Such as...... haha. We're good about it though. Normally we bring people down at the start of the 2nd or at halftime like we did tonight. We always make sure the seats are open and tell them if someone shows ur f'd and gotta move. That's only happened once or twice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That led to some exaggerated self policing by those around me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
