What's up with people complaining about people who work at Box Offices on this board?

[jordangirl]

Posted: 5/25/07 at 7:35pm

Well...not saying rudeness is excusable, but she's probably a little busy at 7:34pm when there's an 8pm show.

Just a guess.

While she's dealing with all the people picking up their tickets at the last minute? When the show hasn't been sold out for a while and one of the requirements for SRO is that the show's sold out?

Why not just go to the box office and ask? I mean, if you're close enough to get there by 8 after calling at 7:30, it's NOT a huge schlep to the box office to ask. Lazy much?

Neddy, I have a feeling it's someone trolling.

Posted: 5/25/07 at 8:22pm

Honestly, I've called the Nederlander box office twice and dealt with a rude woman both times. Unfortunate, although I'm not sure a thread was really necessary.

hehe. I'm gonna call her and ask her how much tickets are for Spring Awakening just to piss her off.

Regardless of this stupid thread, it still is the woman's job and clearly she isn't doing it well.

[whatever2]

Posted: 5/25/07 at 8:50pm

at the risk of perpetuating this "stupid thread": actually, it sounds like she IS performing her job adequately, just curtly.

if you want polite, the mormon visitors center is on broadway @ 66th!

the point is she shouldn't be rude and obnoxious as others have noted too, so it's not just me.

At the Nederlander??? Honey, Mary Poppins is at the New Amsterdam.

have you seen rent lately, you'd be pissed off too.

Can you really phone the Nederlander Theater directly?

[Sleeth1]

Posted: 5/26/07 at 1:32am

SORRY, but here's what I have to SAY...... It's all about customer service, isn't it? I would REPORT anyone RUDE to the MANAGER of the theatre! There's just NO EXCUSE.... and I do mean NONE! I don't care if they've had a bad day or if they simply have a wet diaper... they are THERE to SERVE the public! It's even MORE terrible that she's at the theatre that's playing RENT (since it's all about trying to understand situations that others are in). NEXT time... tell her she should be working at The New Amsterdam... her and Mary Poppins "SPIT SPOT" attitudes might be more suited!

I don't understand what's rude and obnoxious about giving someone a "No" answer to a question. Was she supposed to apologize to you? She's probably sick of all the tweens calling.

she's so rude and mean. i just called to ask if they had standing room for tonite and she simply said "no" in a very rude tone of voice. why is she so rude?

Maybe she hates your posts. Did you give your handle as your name?

If this isn't a troll, I have to ask -- what box office has a number you can call directly to speak to a person AT the theatre? I mean, I know they have phones there for their own use, but those numbers aren't published for the public to call to buy tickets. Has this changed?

If not, I don't blame them for being rude to people calling on a number that's not intended for ticket sales. Obviously calling Ticketmaster isn't going to get you an answer on standing room, but unfortunately that's the point of standing room -- you have to go to the theatre to buy it.

You are correct, partially.

Though most theatres on Broadway do not have a direct phone number for the general public, a handful do, such as the Minskoff, the Marquis, the New Amsterdam, the Neil Simon and the Nederlander -- which are indeed listed.

Zeitoujo AND Zeituojo

Watch carefully at the two different versions of the name! I didn't notice this before!

ETA: I posted this before I read the actual thread and didn't already know Neddy already pointed out the difference.

What thrill does a person get in trying to impersonate someone else?

The best part is that they have the same avatar. Are we seriously not going to notice that?
Go have coversations with yourself somewhere else.
