Civilians seeking tickets were asked if they were members of the fores (this included the Merchant Navy). If they replied that they were., they were issued with tickets without further inquiry. Civilians worn also asking servicemen to purchase tickets on their behalf. Theatre Management Limited had written slating that attendances were dropping and suggesting that only one big theatre, or two small, operate in future on Sundays.
