You've got until tomorrow to fill out the show survey sent to ticket buyers. Let them know what you would like to see in the future for the show. The first question is whether to keep the drive-in format or not.

Unfortunately, due to the drive in format, I have not been a ticket holder. So if you only ask those who initially purchased drive in format tickets, you miss those who have passed on that format, skewing the results towards those who have at least considered it a viable type of show.

True, but they are the ones who forked out gold and got lead in return this year.
In any case, I am highly doubting that popular opinion is a prime factor in the decision making proce$$

They had so many "positive comments" on the drive-in show from last year is why they had it this year!? (Guess no one I know was asked.) If they do I'll skip it.

It seems the dates have changed to August 12th and 13th.

I hope an announcement comes soon about ticketing options. The drive in only caters to one audience and that is families with money.
