This is the good news: Evam, the Merry Players of Madras (who also earn merit in this life and the next by being Sista’s juniors) have launched online ticketing for their shows.
The even better news is that they shall be coming to Bangalore in February to put on Love Letters and The Odd Couple at Ranga Shankara.
By the way, the online ticketing is applicable for Bangalore as well as Chennai. It also does not require a credit card. You just block tickets, present the password they send you at the box office, pay in cash and collect your tickets. Personally, I would have liked a credit-card option but you can’t always get what you want, as the Rolling Stones so wisely said.
