I can't go, but this is cool. Thanks, Lowell.

**Bobl** · March-07-14, 12:54 AM

Like Mikey, I can't go, as I work an afternoon shift. Nice gesture, and I hope forum members use this opportunity. Nicely done, Lowell.

**Django** · March-07-14, 02:30 AM

Hope Im able to get two for a date night. Thanks Lowell and Anonymous for the chance. I havent been to the Fisher since my folks took me to see Little Johnny Jones when I was about 10. Very cool for even a chance to go.

This isn't one of those deals where you show up and they get you for unpaid parking tickets, is it????

Great news! I have got them to agree to turn lights off when the show begins so you won't have to look at the theatre interior.

Hehehe.... or they can use the common shtick of the 1960s and say "look at all the expense we went to so you won't have to look at all that old stuff any more!"

After they shrunk it down by 1/3 in 1961 [[from 2,975 seats to 2,089), they were planning on a multi-million dollar resizing/remodeling a few years back... to 2,475 seats... but I guess that remodeling idea tanked... and now they use the Detroit Opera House [[maximum seating 2,765) for larger performances, now that Nederlander no longer does bookings at the Masonic.

**Gistok** · March-07-14, 05:06 PM

I'm planning on going, thanks Lowell!!

The nice thing about the Fisher Theatre is that during intermission you can go to the building lobby for a good helping of "opulence"... before going back to the auditorium to be inundated again with modern marble, brass and teak!!

**Zads07** · March-07-14, 09:14 PM

Put in for my tickets, thanks Lowell this is awesome!

**dtowncitylover** · March-08-14, 12:19 PM

Thanks Lowell, and thank your contact for us!

**Kelton** · March-08-14, 01:04 PM

I just requested tickets for myself and two friends for the matinee. Thank you so much for this offer Lowell and special thanks to your friend who made this great production available to all of us. I don't post often, but I enjoy do this forum every day. Nice group of people - I hope to make it to the picnic this year.

I applied for my tickets. It's a great gesture and much appreciated, Thanx Lowell, and Thanx Fisher Friend! [[I'm having my attorney stand by "just in case"

)

**MizMotown** · March-11-14, 01:11 PM

Thank you for the wonderful gesture. Luckily I just have to walk across the street for a nice evening performance before heading home.

**msamslex** · March-11-14, 04:57 PM

This is exciting! I am unemployed so this generous offer is very much appreciated. Will be bringing my daughter and a senior. Thank you Lowell and friend.

**fzappa2000** · March-12-14, 03:49 PM

**Kathleen** · March-12-14, 07:34 PM

**gumby** · March-13-14, 07:17 AM

Thanks guys. This is an awesome gesture. I wish I wasn't busy those days or I would have gone.

**Lowell** · March-13-14, 09:41 AM

Dear all attendees, We have just sent a group email by BCC to all of you who have requested tickets up to 9 AM today to let you know your requests have been received and passed on to Fisher Theater for processing. This takes a little time.

The main point was to remind you to allow time [a couple of days to be on the safe side] if you are planning to visit the box office to pick up ticket. We would hate you have you make the trip and not have them ready.

Tickets may be obtained up to a half hour before curtain time.

If you didn't get the above email check your junk or spam email to make sure it didn't end up there as it will have 'From Lowell of DetroitYES' as both To: and From: address.
