Saturday Superstition Complementary
Not all theatrical superstitions involve
the stage or backstage area. This one involves the box office, or the entrance
to the theater.
It is said that the first person
admitted to the theater should never be one with a complimentary (“comp or free”)
ticket. It is believe this will cause financial ruin to the performance.
But as soon as even a single paying
customer has been admitted, then the person with the comp ticket may be allowed
entrance without jeopardizing the show.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Superstition #146:
“The first person admitted to a theater should not
have a comp ticket.”

Quote of the Day:
I am very
fond of the theatre. If I have only a kopeck in my pocket, I always go there.
Most of my fellow-officials are uneducated boors, and never enter a theatre
unless one throws free tickets at their head.”
