Preservation Wayne theater tour question[[GISTOK)?

[Gistok]

I called, and they put me on the list, but cant get tickets until June. Thanks to all who replied.

Exmotowner... you didn't hear this one from me...

... but in the 11 years of doing the theatre tours I am not aware of ANYONE ever being turned away from a theatre tour... some people may have had to wait for the next 1/2 hour tour [[this won't happen to folks with reservations however), but I'm not aware of any last minute [[no reservations) show-ups ever getting turned away.

The 4 1/2 hour tours start at 9:00AM, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00 and last tour starts at 11:30. PW "tries" to keep each group to 30 people or less. Since the earlier tours are more fully booked up, there's always the next tour. I doubt anyone ever had to wait more than 45 minutes for a tour though.

One likely reason we haven't turned folks away is that the last [[11:30AM) tour is usually the least booked up. But reservations guarantee you a specific tour time... and [[very important)... the availability of a box lunch at the Detroit Opera House [[these have to be pre-ordered!).

Also... the reason that the tours are usually the 2nd Saturday of August is that getting all the theatres available is nearly impossible [[on a Saturday) during other times of the year.
