They will take up their places in the queque at 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, and will wait through the night for the opening of the box office on Monday morning. The men will charge an extra 5s on each ticket they purchase and in all probability there will be a small tip. For instance If a man is asked to buy six tickets he will make 30s. for his night’s vigil.
