Unit thirty two

Entertainments

Text

London is wonderful for theatres, but the popular shows especially the big musicals are usually fully booked months in advance. Sometimes one may be lucky to get rickets on the day from the thea-tie or booking agency. It is usually much easier to buy tickets for matinees (afternoon performances).

One day one of the participants bought a weekly entertainment guide Time Out for information about theatres, cinemas, concerts and other entertainments. One of the ads attracted his attention. It said:

PRINCE EDWARD. Tel.

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's

EVITA

THE WORLD'S GREATEST MUSICAL

Hal Prince Evgs 8.0

Low price Mats. Thurs. and Sat. 3.0

Evg. perfs. end 10.15

Grp sales 01—3796061

He and his friend decided to go to the box office and try their luck.

Participant: Excuse me, what's on tonight?

Ticket officer: It's Evita, sir.

Participant: Have you got any tickets by any chance?

Ticket officer: You are lucky. There are still a few, at 20 and 15 pounds.

Participant: And where are the 20 pounds seats?

Ticket officer: In the upper circle. You may see it in the map on the wall, over there.

Participant: ... Then may we have two seats in the upper circle.

Ticket officer: Yes, certainly. Forty pounds, please.

Participant: Here you are.

Ticket officer: Thank you... Here are the tickets. Row K, seats 24 and 25

Participant: Excuse me, and when does the performance finish?

Ticket officer: It starts at 3.00 and finishes at 5.15.

Participant: Thank you very much.
