These
past couple weeks everyone who was a part of the spring musical in any shape or
form has been trying to sell their tickets. This is mainly because if members
of cast and crew don’t sell all their tickets they’re forced to buy them which
means some people will be paying from anywhere between $10 - $300. To try and
sell their tickets many members attempted to use deductive reasoning. They chose
deductive over inductive because inductive was more factual based and most of
them just didn’t feel that it would be as successful.
The
most popular way members tried to sell tickets was by milking the fact that the
musical was a children’s show. Their major premise was mostly the fact that
musicals were a fun family event that people would enjoy. They used the
original movie of The Little Mermaid
for most of their minor premise evidence, citing the fact that most children
loved the original movie so then in conclusion they would also like the musical
version of it. They also tried to persuade people to buy tickets by using the
fact that during intermission cast members would be on stage for pictures. For
this they often cited the amusement park of Disney World for their minor claim,
where they claimed that children enjoyed meeting the characters there so then
in conclusion they’re children would also enjoy meeting high school students
dressed up as the characters as well. Some
members also tried to use the guilt card as their major premise by saying that
family members are required to support other family members in their extracurricular
activities. Then the minor for this was that they were members of the company
so then in conclusion they’re family members had to buy tickets because they’re
required to support them in their interests.
These
forms of deductive reason worked fairly well, mostly everyone was able to sell
all their required before the show. Only a few people had to try and scalp them
at the door.
