1. How do you find out which performances are in town and at which venue?
Used to be the newspaper -- now it's the paper's web site and another called Bairnet - Bangor Area Resource Network.
2. How do you buy your tickets (i.e. online, box office, eBay)? TicketMaster.
3. Do you have copies of seating charts you refer to or just accept what's offered? They have charts - I usually don't much care where, but how much is a biggie with me.
4. Which is most important: seating location or hearing the music live?
5. Which venue, if any, do you absolutely refuse to see a performance at? None come to mind.
6. Do you dine at the venue or eat prior to the performance and why? Usually, eating is before the performance with a snack to get home on. Unless it's local, any concert or theater is going to be at least 80 miles away and often 150 to 250.
7. Do you attend performances with certain folks only? My wife or my brother.
8. Which items are standard accessories/must haves for any performance? Nothing, locally -- a thermos of coffee if it's a drive.
9. Do you buy merchandise/souvenirs?
Sometimes -- T-shirts, commemorative CD's and/or Playbills.
10. What's the most you ever spent for a ticket (one ticket) and which performance? Was it worth it and why?
$100, original cast of Hair! and yes - boobies ;) .
11. How far will you drive for that performance you just can't miss?
I've been known to drive to Boston from here, and to NYC from Burlington, Vermont - those were round trips of 500 miles, when I was young and foolish ... there is no performer, performance or celebrity I would do it for today, however. Not even for Jesus Christ at Madison Square Garden, riding Shiva while kissing Mohammed's arse!
