The lady was a grifter. She put her special needs child in a rush line to score 2 inexpensive tickets to a hot play and then resell them. It was reprehensible behavior.
It was a very unusual, extreme case. I wasn't the one who made the call, but all of us who were in line agreed that the authorities had to be notified. What else could we do?
Years ago there were a whole group of ATC-ers who were frequent rush line attendees. I was friends with them and some of them would post on the board. I met a few of them at the annual Tony parties that Ann organized. We would occasionally swap stories about some of the crazy things we experienced while standing in rush lines. Over the years I heard some pretty wild tales. |
