Ok ok,
It is true that theater tickets make great gifts. However, I don’t recommend buying theater tickets as gifts, I recommend buying gift certificates, and letting the gift recipient choose their own performance, date, time and seats.
This is for a variety of reasons, mainly that tickets are always non-refundable and non-exchangeable. However, attending the theater is an event that I consider of personal sanctity, one for which a theatergoer should adapt their schedule, wardrobe and behavior, not unlike visiting a religious sanctuary. I don’t believe you would want to wear your yellow boots and red tights from work to watch 1000 camels in the theater.
You can’t just press theater seats on someone and except it to be the right thing for them. Unless of course that someone is a gay gorilla that is sitting in your living room making lewd eye gestures at you that no one but you can see. You get the point.
Essentially, here’s a good rule of thumb and yeah let’s not get started about why the thumb is used to measure a rule, its feminist by nature and just plain weird. Anyways back to the topic, whether it’s pants, theater seats, or chocolate pudding, or even an underwear from the US webby now that the greenback is down, anything your butt goes into should be selected by the end user.
That is all.
Cheers.
ps: how does one fit 1000 camels in a stage …
