* If going to see Pirates of Penzance, tickets cannot be reserved less than 24 hours in advance. They may be available, you just can't see if they are available, and you can't reserve them.

* Unreserved tickets are given out first-come first-serve.

* Once the box office opens...

* So when does the box office in the Student Center open? That would be helpful information, yes?

* One can always just go see a movie if, having spaced out, one misses out on show tix. What movies are out there that just have to be seen? Anything less DRAMATIC than Lincoln?

Life of Pi (http://www.movies.com/life-pi/m68019) is getting good reviews. Hitchcock (http://www.movies.com/hitchcock/m68765) stars Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren.

The "box office" is a desk, and it opens when the people working the show arrive. I don't know exactly how far in advance they arrive, but it's somewhere between 1 hour and 1/2 hour. But the people waiting for unreserved tickets line up before that, so really the question is when and how fast the line forms vs. the number of unreserved tickets available. (Which doesn't tell you much that's useful.)

Oof. Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I would say, if you were to show up for an evening show without a ticket reservation, to come early, like 6:00-6:30, so that you could find a parking spot somewhat nearby and get a bite to eat at the student center. Then you could start keeping an eye on the box office desk by the entrance to Sala around 7:00. By 7:15-7:20 or so I would expect it to open.

The first two shows had nearly full houses, so I would recommend reserving tickets in advance if you think you'd like to try to see it.
