(Photo by Dave Sykes) Break sales record Box office sales for the Blyth Summer Festival 1981 season have broken all records to date, Keith Roulston, administrator of the Festival, announced last week. Sales of subscription vouchers are up more than 31 times what they were last year at this date, and single ticket sales are keep- ing pace with the increase. "The advance sales in- dicate that the season is go- ing to be even more popular than the record-breaking season we had in 1980," Roulston said. "Our sales have increased steadily every year, but 1 think our new system of reserved seats at the time of sale has encouraged our patrons to get their tickets early." Matinees and weekend performances are selling particularly quickly. "Patrons will have best choice of seats if they book now and choose mid -week dates," Roulston advised. Subscription vouchers, good for four admissions to any performance are available until June 30 only at $18 for adults, $16 for senior citizens and $10 for children. Although advance sales in- dicate many sold -out houses, spur-of-the-moment patrons can •take, advantage of 20 rush seats for each perfor- mance which will go on a first-come, first -serve basis at 7 p.m. on the day of per- formance.
