A photograph of the audience.
Can't remember who sent me this. Maybe Frank Curry.

FRANK CURRY said...: While I always count the house, sorry to say I did not send this photo.

Maybe next time.; 18 September, 2011 20:35

credit cards/charge cards were a foreign concept to the average family when Frank was with RBBB.
Frank scored a big promotional hit when he engineered a tie-in with the credit card companies and RBBB. The town was plastered with billboards proclaiming the ease of purchasing tickets with just a phone call and a credit card.
Pick up the phone, give them you number, it is that simple.
Fast forward to today:
service charge per ticket
service charge for the transaction order
facility fee (modern day tax box)
These extra charges can amount to an additional 25% of the ticket price.

I wish Frank would tell about the time when the RBBB show was sold out (a common Curry situation) and he sold "sitting room places on the steps in the aisle" to the overflow crowd in the lobby that were holding up fists of dollar bills.; 19 September, 2011 10:03
