Mine would, and then schedule it during the time you work and ask why you can't go.
I think this a scam
I attended the 8PM show yesterday 4/12/2012 and I am not an employee of Apple. Judging from the audience they were not Apple employees either. I bought my tickets on line. I also believe there was also a 5PM show. This supposed ticket is for 4PM. If it were a special show for Apple that would also be unlikely as the show lasts 3 hours. So they could not have put on a show for Apple at 4PM and another show for the public at 5PM. I think you have been scammed.

I work for a very large medical company. Years ago, we would have golf, etc at our meetings. Now we are lucky to get our lunch tab picked up at meetings.
Times have changed and I guess it is great to work for Apple. Sigh.

I'm with you, but only because I live in the same province as the Cirque origins.
Although they are very talented and amazing at what they do, I have been over-saturated with Le Cirque, much like Céline Dion for close to 30 years.
Yes, Céline Dion started in French here in the early 80s... **shudders**
A handful of times over the last year I've heard tales of stores or groups of stores here in LA skipping the usual quarterly rah-rah meeting and taking the gang out for something fun. Buying out a roller rink for a night, buying out the Santa Monica Pier amusement park, buying the store staff tickets into DisneyLand. With food, parking etc as needed. Sometimes more than once in the year. And the stories go back for a couple of years so this might not be a Tim Cook thing like some are implying
This sounds like the Cupertino version of the same thing. Probably the only one they have done and will do this year so they went big.

Glad to hear... in other news, Apple employees are also paid and have the option of receiving a check or direct deposit.

Is it possible, since they bought out whole shows, that they also got the times changed...?
And maybe had custom tix printed...?
Not that any of us care or anything...

There were two shows for that day, 4 and 8. The only shows that exist at 5PM are on Sunday. This is can be seen on their site on their Saturday show, 4 and 8:

This is not a scam, macrumors even said twitter accounts of apple employees confirm this.
This totally explains why my friends status randomly says "Cirque du Soliel - Totem".
(He works at Apple...lucky bastard).

Is it true that MSFT employees are well known to run out the door at 5pm sharp? That's what a friend of mine said. It's an 8-5 crowd, period.
I'm sure AAPL employees work hard past hours. Guess that's why they are rewarded so (that and they are happy working there)...
LOL... could you make me one too? Make sure to change the date for tomorrow please.
