Festival of Sydney Funnies

One of the great things about living in Sydney is the annual Festival of Sydney. This year since we are back in Sydney we are keen to go to some events (there are many free and many paid events). One show that Ying wanted to see was La Clique, on the website it said that it was sold out but to ring up and check.
So I rang up the booking hotline and the polite guy asked how he could help me - I told him that I wanted to see if there were any tickets to La Clique left. He asked my name, and thinking that was so he could make the booking and do the credit card transaction, I gave him my legal name - Stewart. He then proceeded to say "Sorry Stewart, all the tickets are sold out!".
So he wanted to get my name just so that he could be polite intelling me that I can't get what I wanted!
