$&%#&#@#

Back on July 3, I wrote this in my blog:

I so wanted to see Garrison Keillor speak. It is in Baltimore to boot. But each ticket goes from $265.00 for open seating, to $395.00 for orchestra seating, per person. Now, of course, the price includes the entire series, but I cannot afford it. So if you can and live near Baltimore, take pictures or videos for me.

The lecture will be on today at 8 pm, and guess what? Tickets are now available for $37.50. Why couldn't it have been so affordable back in July? I would have bought the tickets and gone. Now, it is too late. I have other plans.

Wow, were they actually having trouble selling those tickets in order to cause the price drop? It seems like his stuff always sells out.

I think most people didn't want to spend $265.00 per person for the whole series. You would have to have committed a number of weeks just to attend all the speakers in the series. I bet the powers to be thought that Garrison Keillor and maybe some other names would have been enough to sell out the whole series. It probably would have been more successful if we could buy tickets to single lectures or be able to purchase a miniseries. I would not have minded seeing him and Jane Goodall, for instance.

In case you are interested, here’s the link to the whole series:
