I saw on Facebook that one of the girls got flowers delivered and it dawned on me that is a great way to beat a queue.
I bet the flower guy just walked right to the front to hand over flowers. So what you've got to do is this:
1. get some flowers and a nice balloon.
2. walk to the front of the queue and straight in to the ticket office.
3. go up to the window and say "I've got a delivery for that girl over there. Any girl will do. Just say they are from a secret admirer.
4. all the girls will be doing whoop whoop noises and will be lifted by the romantic gesture.
5. say to them, thanks for that love. any chance you could sort my tickets whilst I'm here?
6. get out of ticket office without getting killed by the mugs who queued for 5 hours.
