Edinburgh theatre visit in December

Can I come or am I too late (meal aswell)

Maggiemay51 I'm certain there will still be available seats for the Nutcracker. I'll book a seat on Saturday when I come home from taking care of my bonny new grandson. Update will be provided ASAP. Welcome on board we'll have a great time.

I'll get on to Vittoria's to add another seat - possibly two more seats, in case someone else wants to join us. If the extra one stays empty we can use it to play musical chairs.

Fingers crossed (toes too)

Maggiemay I've looked into buying a ticket for you for 2pm on December 18th and unfortunately I will be unable to get a ticket for the group discount. The tickets I hold are for level 1 L18 - L25. If you can please contact the Theatre direct - Box office 01315296000. to purchase a ticket near to the rest of us if possible. I'm not sure what you will be prepared to spend should the tickets be more expensive. I look forward to seeing you on the 18th December, it'll be a fab night in the twinkling streets of Edinburgh.

I hope you'll be able to come with us, Maggiemay51. (and a fingers-crossed-emoticon)

Just back from a weekend away got stuck in a 3hr que for the Forth Bridge

I will phone to see if I can get a Ticket.. What about the meal?

Get the ticket first, then we'll update the numbers for the meal - I am sure they can fit in another little one. You can come to the meal anyway, of course, even if you fail to get a ticket!

I got stuck in that queue too Maggie. It took us 2.5 hours to cover 3 miles. I know the work has to be done but funnelling 5 lanes into 1 is madness. The only thing which kept us amused was the sight of men (no women, note) hopping from one foot to another and finally peeing by the side of the road .
Hope you manage to get a ticket for the ballet.

Hi there Maggiemay51 would you believe I've just had the theatre on the phone this morning saying they still have 2 reserved tickets and will hold one until close of day tommorow. Mixed messages from the weekend staff me thinks. The ticket price is still £26.50 what do you think of that? I'd be happy to purchase a ticket for you if you haven't already done so.

Yes please to ticket.. Can I send you a cheque?

Marmite I approached from the M8 and if you had been there at same time you would have seen Wee Daisy (my car) on the hard shoulder and little old lady scrambeling up the embankment (right up to the top and over).. I just couldnt wait any longer (lets hope I'm not on Utube)

You're on Maggiemay51 I've had to leave a message at the ticket office cause I was told there was a long waiting time I've also left an email for Kitty who phoned me this morning. Why can't things be simple - I wanted to speak to someone direct. I'm therefore expecting a call or email in return to confirm we have the reserved ticket. I'll let you know by private message how you can pay me for the ticket not to worry. Who's been having a wee wee at the side of the road then - done it myself on several occasions - not recently I hasten to add

Maggiemay51 the deal has been confirmed and the ticket is now on its way to my address. that's a total of 9 gransnetters meeting up on Thursday 18th December for the 2pm performance.

Elizabeth1 Just made payment Hope I done it alright

Success Maggiemay51

Ticket has arrived Maggiemay51

This is going to be such a lovely day - I'm so looking forward to it! Talking of being 'caught short' - which we weren't really - my friend once had to do a wee in her husband's 'hard hat', when they were caught up in a traffic-jam. Thankfully they were travelling in his lorry, so she was sitting higher up than she would have done in the car

Looking forward to meeting you Maggie, and seeing everyone else of course

Are we all ready for the 18th - any suggestions about what to wear?

Layers

Something cosy & comfortable I would think unless you're thinking sequins & sparkles Elizabeth?

Cosy and comfy for me too, baubles!

Looking forward to it. I shall probably wear what I wore to the last Edinburgh December meetup, since it is unlikely that anyone noticed what I was wearing

!! We'll have a wee bit of a walk from the theatre to where we'll be having our meal (unless we jump into taxis). So comfy footwear, too!

Might not feel the feet marelli if I've a few sherbets under my belt I've a long black coat which will cover my knees, think I'll haul it out and give it its annual outing. Guess what I'll wear under it
