Forte - Set Up To Be Closed Out?
We went to see Varela Unplugged the other night. Very good show...even though Varela had the remnants of a cold. Very entertaining...the talk of his rise...guest singers. No complaints at all.
During the show, Varela announced that Forte would be coming to The Villages, and that to show appreciation to those at the Unplugged show, they would offering a $10 discount for the Forte show if you show your Unplugged ticket at the box office. No early sales and couldn't be online...had to be at the box office when it opened.
A friend of ours was nice enough to stand in line to get tickets. Stood there for a very long time...only to have the Forte show sell out before she got a chance to buy tickets. I know the intentions were good, but are we the only ones to be closed out of the Forte show because we were trying to act on the offer made by Varela at his show? Very unfortunate. Kind of reminds of many political actions...good intentions but results include unintended consequences. Seems like they could have seen this coming and handled it a bit differently.
Oh well. Just wanted to vent a bit.
