To any in Socal who are live stage enthusiasts... we tried the "Wicked Deal" and here are the details ...

A variable number of front row tickets go on sale lottery style 2 hours before the performance. Entries for this lottery begin 2.5 hours before the show everyday. Tix normally are about $95 or so and these "WICKED DEAL" tix will be sold at $25 cash each. Winners may purchase one or two tix... and indicate so on thier lottery entries.

... on the day we tried to get them they announced 26 tix were available. The day before they had 130 people in the lottery and they suggested about 100 would go for these 27 tix they had. Everyone had to wrte their names on a ticket stub and be on hand to claim their prize and pay in cash if their name was drawn. Anyone entering had to be present and my 6 year old got to enter as well provided she personally write her name on the entry stub. We did not win - and one couple won twice... they were gonna hurry up and invite another couple to join them... it was not us though (RATS!). <chuckles>

At any rate, we're gonna try again and again as time permits. We have to mix it with other activities in the area as the likelihood of winning is not really high - and we must have a useful objective to justify the visit into the area.

Good luck. I'm going on the 28th! Of course, I bought the tickets back in November. DH and I saw Wicked in LA almost two years ago. It's a great show. I believe it's on indefinate stay in LA. Are you is a big hurry to see it? There have to be tickets available later in the year.

We have our annual Fiesta Days parade and rodeo this weekend.
My one and only weekend to pretend to be a cowgirl.


Our town is one of those little western tourist towns. All the fake storefronts and everything.

On my list places to visit/go to someday is a real western ghost town.

OK...no wonder I had never heard of it.

Also known as yupster (yuppie + hipster), yindie (yuppie + indie), and alterna-yuppie. Our preferred term, grup, is taken from an episode of Star Trek (keep reading) in which Captain Kirk et al. land on a planet of children who rule the world, with no adults in sight. The kids call Kirk and the crew “grups,” which they eventually figure out is a contraction of “grown-ups.” It turns out that all the grown-ups had died from a virus that greatly slows the aging process and kills anybody who grows up.
