I don't think the location is hurting sales. I went in at 11:30 this morning, and all the of 4:30 tickets were gone (except for 1), and the 5 o'clock tickets were going fast. There was a short line of people. And the store didn't even open until 11.

Also, the woman selling the tickets was extremely friendly. All in all, it was a very good experience.

Thanks for the report. I'm surprised the 4:30 tickets would sell out first, since it isn't even fully dark for that tour and the effect of the lights is somewhat reduced.

the earlier tours always sell out first.

Parents with little kids like to go early. I went on the 4:30 tour once, and, you are right, it wasn't quite dark when the tour started, and some of the houses hadn't yet turned on their lights. But the trolley driver stopped in front of the unlit houses and clanged his trolley bell. Then everyone on the trolley shouted in unison, "Turn on your lights!" The kiddos liked it, and sometimes it even seemed to work.

I was there when they opened at 11:00, and I believe 2 of the 4:30 trolleys were alredy sold out for the Council in Aging
