This week's questions come from one of our fellow Monday Madness participants, Elena. Thanks so much for the questions, Elena! =)
1. How do you find out which performances are in town and at which venue? Check venue websites
2. How do you buy your tickets (i.e. online, box office, eBay)? Usually online, because many of the performances we see are in Milwaukee and that's an hour away.
3. Do you have copies of seating charts you refer to or just accept what's offered? Most venues seem to have seating charts online, so we can see where we are sitting.
4. Which is most important: seating location or hearing the music live?Seating location
5. Which venue, if any, do you absolutely refuse to see a performance at? Don't have one that I hate
6. Do you dine at the venue or eat prior to the performance and why?
My kids and I went to an evening performance and we ate before, since the venue didn't have any restaurants in the building
7. Do you attend performances with certain folks only? I only see the stuff my kids want to see. My groups would be way too expensive.
8. Which items are standard accessories/must haves for any performance? I have no idea
9. Do you buy merchandise/souvenirs? I'm too cheap, but the last concert I took my daughter too, she got a t-shirt and got it autographed, too. She had babysitting money.
10. What's the most you ever spent for a ticket (one ticket) and which performance? Was it worth it and why? I think we spent around $30 for the last Jump 5 concert we went to.
11. How far will you drive for that performance you just can't miss?Not too far, since most of those concerts would be way out of my price range. I would have liked to see the Billy Joel/Elton John concert that was here a year or two ago. It was in Milwaukee, so just an hour away.
