O
Officer
Hello, Theatre Royal Plymouth.
C
Customer
Oh, hello. I'd like to make a booking please.
O
Officer
Yes. What is it you want to see?
C
Customer
The imposter.
O
Officer
Right. And which day did you want to come?
C
Customer
Friday the 25th.
O
Officer
Just a moment and I'll check availability on the computer. Oh, sorry, we're fully booked for that performance.
C
Customer
Oh, dear. What about the following day then?
O
Officer
The 26th. Yes, that's OK. We've got two performances on that day. One at 3:30 and one at 7, which would you prefer?
C
Customer
Oh, the later one, please.
O
Officer
How many people?
C
Customer
Well, there are four of us.
O
Officer
Are there any concessions? Any children?
C
Customer
Oh, I'm not sure. My daughters are 15 and 12. Do they get concessions?
O
Officer
Only the 12-year-old, I'm afraid. So that's one child and three adults. Any idea where you'd like to sit, stalls or circle? Tickets for the stalls are a bit more expensive. £12 for adults and £8 for 50 for children. The circle costs £10 for 50 and £6 for 50.
C
Customer
Do you get a good view from the circle?
O
Officer
Oh, yes. And in fact, we've got some seats left at the front, if you'd like those.
C
Customer
Right. We'll go for those then.
O
Officer
Right. If that's seats A21 to 24, then they're very good seats.
C
Customer
That sounds fine.
O
Officer
So let's see. That comes to £38 altogether for the tickets. How do you want to collect them? Shall I put them in the post? They'd be sent today by First Class Mail and there'd be an additional charge of £1 to cover postage and administration. Or do you want to get them from the box office yourself?
C
Customer
Oh, yes. Could you send them, please?
O
Officer
No problem. That'll be £39 altogether.
O
Officer
Could I just take your card details? What kind of card is it, Visa, Switch?
C
Customer
Mastercard.
O
Officer
OK. And the number?
C
Customer
It's 3290 5876 4401 2899.
O
Officer
2899. OK. And the name on the card, please.
C
Customer
It's Mr. J. Whitton, W H I T T O N.
O
Officer
N for never or M for mother.
C
Customer
N for never.
O
Officer
Thank you. And now I've nearly finished, but I just need your address and post code.
C
Customer
Yes, it's 42 South Street.
O
Officer
OK. Is that Plymouth?
C
Customer
London.
O
Officer
And the post code?
C
Customer
It's SW2 5GE.
O
Officer
That's fine then. The ticket should be with you tomorrow. Is there anything else I can do for you?
C
Customer
Yes. I was wondering if I could get regular information about what's on.
O
Officer
Certainly. I can just add your name to a mailing list. Would that be OK?
C
Customer
That would be very good. Yes, please. Oh, and there is something else. Sorry. One of our group is hard of hearing. And I've heard that you can supply special headphones.
O
Officer
That's right. As long as you tell us in advance, we can always do that. I'll book those for you now. And you can just collect them from the box office before the show.
C
Customer
Thanks very much for your help.
O
Officer
No problem. Thank you for calling.
C
Customer
Thank you. Bye.
