would you be pro or con this idea as a christmas present:

Posted by Andie (aka Andie) Oct 24 '11, 10:02

instead of buying my immediate family (5 people including me) individual tickets, i want to buy us all tickets to see War Horse next spring.

If you got a theatre ticket for a pre-determined date in the future instead of, say, slippers or a sweater, that would be cool, right?

i really think this is a good idea (my family like lives performance stuff), plus, it pretty much takes care of 75% of my christmas shopping with one click of the mouse.

Semi-related. Within 15 seconds of the trailer to that when my wife and I saw 50/50 on Friday, she said "Horses. Spielberg. I'm there." - bc/nc Oct 24, 10:07
Sure, provided you know the recipients won't have conflicts with the date. -- nm - TWuG Oct 24, 10:07 3
- well, it's impossible to be sure, but i think tickets can be exchanged for another night based on availability. -- nm - Andie Oct 24, 10:08 2
  - make sure you check with the box office to be sure. Or buy gift certificates, and coordinate the exact date after you've confirmed a date that works?\ -- nm - znufrii Oct 24, 10:09 1
    - GC won't work, there won't be any dates left. -- nm - Andie Oct 24, 10:12
War Horse the movie? What is the "performance?" -- nm - con_carnage Oct 24, 10:06 3
- War Horse the play. which it was before a movie. i'm not buying us movie tickets as a christmas present. -- nm - Andie Oct 24, 10:07 1
  - Google failed me - con_carnage Oct 24, 10:10
- It was a play first -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 24, 10:07
I think it's a great idea. -- nm - Krusty Oct 24, 10:06
I like gifts like that -- nm - ceregon Oct 24, 10:06
Very pro. -- nm - kelly Oct 24, 10:06
I'd love it.; -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:05
I am a total believer in 'experience gifts' for when I gift buy for adults now. So few people need more stuff. -- nm - bc/nc Oct 24, 10:05 4
- word. I need *no more stuff.* (besides a black suede skirt, really.) -- nm - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:06 3
  - yup... - znufrii Oct 24, 10:06 2
    - my mom always gives me "you can craft with this!" stuff. I wind up donating. *crafting*? me? no. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:07 1
      - yeah, that's just silly - znufrii Oct 24, 10:10
wow. please ignore typos. my multi-tasking skills are deteriorating. -- nm - Andie Oct 24, 10:05
love it. -- nm - kare Oct 24, 10:03
Pro, it's an event you can enjoy as a group. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 24, 10:03
I think it's a great idea, provided you can coordinate schedules with any amount of certainty... -- nm - znufrii Oct 24, 10:03 2
- i would go with a week night (4 out of 5 of us are in town) and i'd probably have to tell my mom before i buy - Andie Oct 24, 10:04 1
  - well, there you go, then... -- nm - znufrii Oct 24, 10:06
sounds good to me ... time-delayed Christmas gifts :) -- nm - i'm not spooked, yet ! Oct 24, 10:03
