Scene: Tower Theater
Situation: Revenge of the Ticket-tator

In August, when Mary and I were at the Tori/Ben concert, we attempted to move up a few rows, because there was a huge block of seats available. The ticket-tator chased us back to our original seats. Fine. I know Tori fans, and they would pout and cry if they found someone in their seats.

Last night, Jane and I (and Mipsie and Bipsie) were at the Tower, to see the Strokes. Ticket-tators have taken over the Tower! We had to present our tickets at least 10 times. Every time we went to our seat, we had to have our ticket checked at the entrance to the seating area, and again as we got closer to our seats. They did spot-checks of people who were in seats, if they thought you weren't in the right place. But here's the worst part. They were also picking people to move closer, and even stand next to the stage! Heaven help anyone who tried to do that without the ticket-tator's blessing, though. Back you go!

Seat free is the way to be! Go TLA!
