| Obviously, the NYPD thought otherwise. However, it was an extreme case. The lady who was arrested was definitely breaking the law. A consensus had been reached among a large group of the people in line that the authorities should be notified and 911 should be called. The gentleman who placed the call was a New Yorker and much more knowledgeable than I was about these matters. I was just a tourist from a suburb of Chicago. Since 1993 I have gone to about 680 shows on a New York stage. I've stood in rush lines at least 400 times so I've seen everything. I generally don't post about rush line experiences unless an ATC-er posts something that may be misleading or false. Beginning in 2008, I have actually been asked by the personnel of at least a dozen Broadway and off-Broadway theaters to make such remarks on ATC. I know that other ATC-ers besides me have likewise been requested to do the same thing. However, the individuals I knew (who had been similarly recruited) no longer are active posters here. I thought it important to respond to FinalPerformance's statement "There are some individuals that are paid to wait and then turn the tickets over to others. That's how things work now a days." I just think that was a careless remark. It's much too general, and while it probably has some truth to it, it does not really represent what 99.9% of people in rush lines do. I thought a challenge to his remark was called for. If FinalPerformance would like to elaborate on or provide some concrete data to back up his post, I would certainly be willing to engage in a respectful conversation with him. Merry Christmas, everyone! |
