Yes, the flyer advertising the local performances arrived yesterday, and I as ever got excited. I, probably even more so than the kids, am a sucker for circuses. Love them. Always loved them. Of course, finances permitting, we will go. We haven’t missed a Barnum & Bailey circus at the Verizon since 2008 (I think). If I do manage to rustle up the finances to get the tickets it would be the second circus of the year for us — we having just gone to the astounding ‘Cirque Du Soleil’ “Varekai” at the ‘Verizon’ In Manchester.

I keep on seeing stories about cruelty to elephants at circuses. That, of course, bothers me inordinately. I am probably even more of an ‘elephant person‘ than I am a ‘dog person‘! I keep on convincing myself that Barnum & Bailey are good to their animals. IF I am wrong then I have been had.

You can get tickets through TicketMaster though I would WARN YOU AGAINST that. Dealing with TicketMaster, in my opinion, is ONLY for confirmed, masochists. IF you really have an urge to buy tickets through TicketMaster this is what I suggest. First go get a fork. Then place your left hand on a hard surface and stab that hand as hard as you can with the fork. Then ask yourself again whether you really want to deal with the criminal TicketMaster. If you still have the urge, keep on stabbing yourself with the fork until you either pass away or that unnatural urge to deal with TicketMaster dissipates.

If I have the money I will, as always, go to the Verizon Arena box office and buy the tickets directly. They are incredibly helpful and I know the seats I want. The tickets will not be available from the Box Office as yet. I will call and find out when.
