The Nelson International Film Festival is on at the moment. I was hoping to see this film. Today is its last screening for the festival and I called into the Suter Cinema on the way home at about 4pm to grab a ticket.
me: "Could I get one ticket for the 6pm screening please?"
suter: "I'm sorry, I can't do that."
me: "Oh... is it sold out?"
suter: "No no... but you will need to arrive early and be prepared to queue for about half an hour. We'll try to have two staff on to move you through a little quicker."
me: "huh? I can't just buy a ticket now and show up at screening time?"
suter: "Its been a very popular movie. This is its last screening."
me: "Never mind..." I walk out shaking my head.
Screw them. There I was two hours before screening simply wanting one ticket to see a movie, but apparently I hadn't earnt it by queu-ing in the cold for a half hour. GET WITH THE PROGRAM SUTER!
Its a gawd-awful website too by the way...
