What's your golden ticket?

goldenticket.jpgIn Roald Dahl’s book Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka gives away a number of gold tickets which allow a group of children and their guardians to take a behind the scenes look at Wonka’s chocolate factory. The factory turns out to be an amazing place full of surprises.

In 2005 I had opportunity to tour the Cadbury factory in Tasmania where I was able to taste many of their chocolatey delights. It wasn’t quite Wonka’s factory but it was very, very tasty.

Recently I’ve been wondering what kind of ‘golden ticket’ I’d like. Where would I like to go for a behind the scenes look? Is there somewhere I’d like to go with an Access All Areas pass?

I wouldn’t mind a golden ticket to the Tour de France. I’d be more than happy to simply be a spectator but it’d be even more exciting to go behind the scenes.

There would certainly be some media organisations that I’d like to tour.

I’m sure that there are other places that a golden ticket would be very handy.

What about you? Where would you like a golden ticket or access all areas pass to take you?

  • I think mine would be something simple like watching a movie being made. Not just meeting the actors but more the whole process, that would be interesting.

    I’d also love a golden ticket to the vatican library or whatever its called, the place where they have a lot of archives and very old documents.
