GUTHRIE CORP. IS AWESOME, MODEST
Guthrie Corporation’s Big Blue Blog came back to life today, as they “live-blogged” the first day of ticket sales for Little House on the Prairie. It was as exciting as it sounds. And though they called it a “live-blog”, they didn’t really blog anything live. They posted everything in one gigantic 4:45pm post — just basically recapping the entire event. Here are some highlights:
8:37 a.m.
The doors are officially open for the Little House on-sale! Our first patron arrived at 5:20 a.m.
9:02 a.m.
It’s 9 a.m. and we 34 people in line!
10 a.m.
It’s 10 a.m.! Tickets are now on sale! We currently have over 150 people in line who cheered as Staci counted down the seconds. So exciting!!
10:17 a.m.
Well it seems that some sort of server has gone down for a bit because just too many people are trying to buy Prairie tickets! Really, there could be worse things.
10:26 a.m.
“The line is freakin’ out the door!” exclaims Marketing Manager Elizabeth Deacon.
10:35
I have received word that our website has officially crashed. Yay! This means that so many of our wonderfully loyal fans are trying to purchase tickets to this great show. Melodie Bahan, Director of Communications, has just informed me that many of those fans have been calling the Star Tribune in a panic that they might not be able to get tickets because the phone volume is so heavy too.
I hope everyone in town is hearing this. Jeune Lune? History Theatre? Anyone else at or on the brink of theatrical starvation — take note. Guthrie Corp. has lines freakin’ out the door! Their servers are crashing! People are calling the Strib to find out why Rohan hasn’t written about it yet! And all they had to do was spend a shmashmillion dollars, cast Melissa Gilbert, and get a big-time Broadway director to head it up.
Why do people think this theatre thing’s so difficult?
