Okay I need everyone's input...
Here we go - JUNE 29TH MIDNIGHT SHOW!!!
I have the midnight theater for Eclipse already reserved - but I want to find the best way of doing this. Last time was a little stressful and I would like to minimize the stress for me that night. But some things have changed and so help me out... PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS - I HATE MAKING DECISIONS LIKE THIS ON MY OWN!
The ticket prices have gone up $1.50 and on top of that if I do general seating then it is an extra $1. With the theater rental I have to purchase I "package deal" like popcorn and drink. But if we do everything it starts to add up. I will be doing the raffle before so for no extra charge you could win things like a massage, a teeth whitening, a haircut, jewelry... keep that in mind also.
I do have to worry about how hard it is to sell the first 2 rows and also how annoying it is to take reserved seating requests. I know that doesn't bug any of you... but I am the one who gets stuck with it, so try to be empathetic.
I know the following descriptions make me sound grumpy (for those of you who really know me, you know - that is partially true :) ) But last time was not at all what I thought it would be and I would like to see if I can make it more fun for everyone. So I need to cover all the bases.
So here are some options.
General Seating, popcorn, drink - ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS TO THE HOST ALLOWED - this would mean where you end up is all on you. This would be 16.50 per ticket.
General seating, popcorn and drink - BUT not sell the front 2 rows so everyone is happy and you don't have to worry about getting stuck up front - this could be done for 19.50 per ticket.
Reserved Seating, popcorn and drink - BUT not sell the front 2 rows so everyone is happy and you don't have to worry about getting stuck up front - this could be done for 18.50 per ticket. But no seat requests... You would get a ticket with your seat number and I would put all of your group together (as long as they were purchased together), but I would not take seat requests - you will be in the top portion with your group... no "third row, two seats in please", because doing that for the whole theater gets old quick
Reserved Seating, popcorn and drink with an ASTERISKS***. I would sell the front 2 rows for $10 and the back portion of the theater for $17. You would get a ticket with your seat number and I would put all of your group together (as long as they were purchased together), but I would not take seat requests - you will be in the top portion with your group... no "third row, two seats in please", because doing that for the whole theater gets old quick. This would be nice because you wouldn't have to get there early to worry about your seat.
Reserved Seating, popcorn and a drink - you pick your seat and have your seat number on the ticket. This is going to cost you... I am willing to do the work, but not for free - also I have to calculate if the front 2 rows don't sell. This option is $20 per ticket. I will say if all the tickets do sell then I will put the money into the raffle and/or have a mass refund that night... THIS DECISION I WILL MAKE ON MY OWN. This option will have a rule of no seat requests before I get the money - I will not be holding seats.
Okay tell me what you think... I need some help!
Love you all!
Our Family
Our Little Princess
Emma (7) started 1st grade this year! She is quite the student! She is one of the top readers in her class and loves that she can now read chapter books. She also started piano lessons and we love to listen to her practice everyday. Emma played soccer this year and had a ton of fun on her team. Over the summer she finally became an official swimmer! Once she got it, there was no stopping her and she spent hours and hours every week in the pool and jumping off the diving board. She keeps busy playing with her friends, dancing, singing (always) and running after her brothers. She is a very tentative big sister, always ready to help out with the boys and keep them happy. She will be baptized in November 2013 and to prepare as a family we made a goal to read the Book of Mormon all the way through. She keeps us on task and we have enjoyed the blessing this goal has brought us. We are so blessed to have her and are grateful that her brothers have her as an example to look up to.
Our Big Man
Carson (5) continues to be a busy preschooler! He is an awesome student! He enjoys reading, writing, painting, being creative and he LOVES to dance. It is one of our favorite activities to turn on iTunes and shake it! Carson also played soccer this year. He loved playing with his friends and his cousin Logan on his team! Over the summer he took swimming lessons and found his confidence under the water - he is the cutest little fish you will ever see! Carson is growing so quickly and this year started learning to ride his bike without training wheels. He did not master it yet, but he is very close and we are pretty sure once it warms up again that he will be zipping around in no time. He continues to improve with his speech and is quickly becoming an awesome little talker. We love our little guy; he has a great sense of humor and always strives to make everyone smile.
Our Dog
Harrison (3) brings us new adventures everyday! He is a great learner. He is starting to write his ABC’s, he can spell and write his name beautifully and loves “writing letters” with his sister at his side. He loves playing on the computer and iPad, playing pretend and being a train conductor with his Geotrax collection. He is a huge fan of his older brother and sister - he looks forward everyday for their return from school. Harry is very athletic and enjoys any type of ball playing! He loves playing outside in any weather and often times has to be dragged in to avoid hypothermia. This last month Harrison has FINALLY started potty training - it has become a special time for he and Mom - we are proud of him for the progress he has made and proud of her because he is still one piece. :)
Baby Dallin
Dallin (4 mos) is the newest addition to our family. He was born in the early evening of September 7th, at 8lbs 11 oz and 21 inches long - our biggest baby yet! It was a slow labor, but once he wanted to come, he was serious, his doctor even missed the adventure and his Dad nearly missed it also because they both decided to step out at the wrong time. He had a rough start and had to hang out with the NICU team for the first few minutes of his life, but quickly showed everyone he was a tough little guy and nothing was going to stop him! He has grown very quickly - weighing over 15 lbs already! It’s no wonder because his favorite hobby is eating! He is a great smiler and is always loves to brighten Jared’s day with an excited grin when he arrives home from work. We are so blessed to have his sweet little personality in our home. The whole family has wrapped themselves around his little fingers. His brothers and sister are addicted to holding, hugging, kissing and playing with him.
