Why should any Villager feel "entitled" to these tickets before anyone else? This mystifies me that anyone would have this attitude!
Entitled? Oh, really???
The Sharon is a public theater and the tickets are for sale to anyone.
I find this thought of entitlement reprehensible!
The purchase of tickets at The Sharon is up for grabs -- to anyone, as it should be!
It's the old story . . . first come -- first served.
You want tickets? Then get your butt in line or get on your computer and quit complaining.
The early bird gets the worm; otherwise you are S.O.L.

What's with the weird font?
OH MY! Where have you gone Mrs Robinson? Reprehensible! WOW! Shame on me! I gotta go hide under my bed.
Maybe "entitled" was the wrong word although that is how I feel. We are not "entitled" any more than you are entitled to a Senior Discount at Dunkin Donuts or anywhere else. However as a
courtesy to those who live here it would be just something "nice" to do for residents just like the resident discount they give on many other shows or those "senior citizen" discounts many places give. Are seniors ENTITLED to discounts? Why? Because we are old? No, it's just a courtesy.
One notable player is AMERICAN EXPRESS. If you are a card holder you get first dibs for up to a week on MANY shows & concerts. It's a "thank you" for supporting them. We used it many times in NY. Got early seats to a lots of concerts & shows
before they go on sale to the public.
Just would be a "nice thing" to do? But "REPREHENSIBLE!" PUHLEESE! Lighten up a bit. I can name a lot of things that are truly "reprehensible" but this isn't a political forum and requesting early or first access to seats ain't one. GEEZ, people really get bent out of shape around here. LOL!
