Perguntas
Respondem-se a ouvir. Se erras, dizemos-te em que momento está.
What does the first month prove on its own?
People have bought the pass — As vendas demonstram compras. B separa esse dado do uso real e de saber se os compradores teriam comprado bilhetes normais.
Unused reservations can be released an ___ before a performance.
hour — B propõe libertar as reservas não usadas uma hora antes de cada espetáculo; não reduzir imediatamente o número de lugares.
First-time booking names conclusively identify first-time audience members.
False — Algumas pessoas podem ter ido antes como convidadas. O registo dos nomes sugere crescimento, mas não o demonstra de forma conclusiva.
Why is Friday a weak basis for changing the allocation?
A strike also affected other ticket holders — A greve dos transportes também afetou quem tinha bilhetes normais; não se pode atribuir a falta de público nessa sexta-feira apenas ao passe.
They agree to keep the present allocation while gathering more evidence.
True — A propõe manter a distribuição até analisar vários espetáculos e B concorda: That’s my view.
The survey should ask about previous ___.
visits — B pede perguntas sobre previous visits e sobre o que influenciou a reserva; gostar do passe não basta.

Abre-a quando já tiveres tentado: lê-la antes transforma isto numa leitura.
A The theatre pass sold well in its first month. Can we say it's brought in a new audience?
B We can say people bought it. We can't yet say who used it, or whether they would have bought ordinary tickets anyway.
A The booking records show a lot of first-time customers.
B First-time bookings under those names. Some may have attended before as someone else's guest. It suggests growth, but doesn't settle the question.
A Would a short survey help?
B Yes, if we ask about previous visits and what influenced this booking. Asking whether they like the pass won't tell us what they would have done without it.
A And what about the seats left empty on Friday? Should we reduce the number reserved for pass holders?
B Not on the basis of one evening. There was a transport strike, and regular ticket holders stayed away too.
A So we should keep the current allocation until we've looked at several performances.
B That's my view. In the meantime, we can release unused reservations an hour before each performance. That gives other people a chance without pretending we've already proved the pass works.
