Plot outline

Frasier and Niles have tickets to “the theatrical event of the season”, in which the great actor Sir Trevor Aimsley will be making his final appearance before retirement. It is a prestigious event where people go to be seen. However, on the evening in question, the theatre usher refuses to let the brothers in, pointing out that their tickets were for the matinée performance. Frasier keeps Niles calm and suggests they try again the following evening, and he phones some contacts to obtain tickets, but without success. Swallowing their pride with great difficulty, they stand in the cancellation line, and are at the front of the queue when they are greeted by the Kendalls, a couple who regularly socialise with the Seattle elite. They cannot bear to admit that they are queueing for cancellations, and miss their opportunity for tickets by leaving the line. The evening only seems set to get worse when they are invited by the Kendalls to dinner with Sir Trevor after the performance, and face the prospect of making conversation about a play which they have not seen.
