Online I get a map of the theatre and I click on the best seat, because two hours before the showtime there are seats to choose from. If I arrive at the venue to buy the ticket I have to wait a lineup, and I'm given a random seat, more or less with my specs. Or I can go to a machine seller. Oh, that was 6.70€ for a seat on the VIP row - cheaper than your senior price :-p Wednesday is the cheap day here. > Though I'm waiting > on Dune2.
