Grimm and Bare It

KC Fringe Festival

I stood outside of the Living Room from 9pm until 10pm in the heat.  I was 3 people away from the door and was finally turned away.

I don't remember Fringe ever selling prepaid tickets before.  If you wanted to see a show, you stood in line and waited.  The prepaid tickets are a joke.  I will explain later.

NOTE TO READERS:  No matter how good a show is, it doesn't matter if you are unable to SEE it.

Here is something Fringe will not tell you.  I have loved the fringe for years, but here is the situation.  Prepaid tickets got in first.  That makes sense.  However, here is the secret.  Some people even though they had prepaid tickets were STILL unable to see the show.  Because they oversold.

The crowd was down the block and there were easily 70 people turned away.  Now if a show is SOOO popular why not give it more than 5 shows.  Let it play every night if you have to.

If you REALLY really have to see this show, here is what you must do:  Buy prepaid tickets AND get there at least 1 hour early.  Bring a lawn chair and a fan and pray for the best.  If you hate crowds and lines and heat stay away from this show.
