Barbara Mann tickets to My Fair Lady

Our vacation to Naples has been cancelled due to Wilma (La Playa off sale with Virgin Holidays 'till December- We had been coming on 8th November).
Although nothing like the troubles all you folks out there have experienced, we are so, so disappointed, having looked forward to the holiday for the last year.
We have 4 tickets for My Fair Lady at Barbara Mann on Friday 18th November 8.00pm.
They have a no returns policy and it seems a shame to waste the seats. Can anyone recommend somewhere to send them so they find a welcome home?

See if you can sell them on Craig's List.

Thanks for the advise. However we were not thinking of selling. I guess I was just thinking of letting them go to some folks who had suffered in the hurricane to take their mind off things for a couple of hours. I know its not a big deal, but its the thought that counts! Maybe I'll check with La Playa to see if they can pass them on to an appropriate group.
Thanks again,
Hoggy

Post again under Naples Theater -ticket giveaway. You will get a better response. Maybe Patrick can use them, or knows of someone who can.

Thanks bugswife1, I'll give that a try. I've emailed La Playa as well so hopefully someone will make use of them.

hoggy, I'm sorry you won't be able to go to Naples--maybe another time? It's very generous of you to want your tickets to be used and enjoyed! My parents live in Naples (and stayed during Wilma; luckily losing nothing but electricity). November 18th is their 49th wedding anniversary and I know they'd be tickled pink to go to the theatre. If you haven't already given away your tickets, will you email me?

Hi Mermaid, I've just emailed you and would be delighted to send your parents the tickets. Such a happy coincidence with their wedding anniversary.
