Visitors to the Moscow Art Theater accused theater employees of colluding with resellers

Most of the tickets for the play "The North Wind" at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater during the preliminary sale went to resellers with the direct participation of the theater administration. about this A user under the pseudonym Tnargime Rǝnni wrote on his Facebook, supplementing his post with comments and videos of other eyewitnesses of what was happening.

Pre-sale of tickets for the premiere screenings of "North Wind" was supposed to start on May 6. According to the author of the publication, the box office should have received 600 tickets, that is, for three performances in a hall with 200 seats.

A few hours before the opening, there was a queue of people wishing to purchase tickets for the North Wind at the pre-sale ticket offices. Approximately an hour before the opening of the box office, about 20 people took their place at the head of the line, whom, as the author of the post assures, neither the guards nor the summoned representative of the theater administration chose not to notice.

After the opening of the box office, wrote Tnargime Rǝnni, only resellers were able to get inside in the first group. The second group, which included people who had been standing since 7 am, ran out of tickets. The author of the post points out that if the administration of the Moscow Art Theater had followed the stated rule - no more than two tickets per person - 600 tickets could not have ended so quickly.

• The website of the Moscow Art Theater lists five screenings of "North Wind" - two in May and three in June. The director of the performance is Renata Litvinova, the composer is Zemfira, one of the artists is Georgy (Gosha) Rubchinsky.
