Buying Theater Tickets

Susie: I can’t believe I’m going to get to see my favorite actor in a play. I want front row seats! 

David: I’m looking at the venue’s seating plan right now and all front row seats are taken for the entire run. I’m guessing that season ticket holders¹ got those. 

Susie: Damn! All right. Let’s try to get seats as close to the stage as possible, preferably in the orchestra. 

David: The only orchestra tickets still available have partially² obstructed³ views. 

Susie: Okay, we’ll take those. 

David: But we won’t be able to see the entire stage. These tickets in the loge or mezzanine, or even the balcony will give us a better view of the play. 

Susie: I don’t need to see every part of the play. I just want to get as close to him as possible. 

David: Wait one second. I see two seats in the second row still available for the matinee performance. Oh no, those are seats for wheelchair access. 

Susie: That’s great! We’ll take those. 

David: But neither of us needs wheelchair access. 

Susie: I’ll break a leg if I have to to get that close to him. 

David: Do the words “obsessed fan” mean anything to you? 

Susie: You can call it obsession⁴, but I call it devotion!
