FrightFest

I think last year was smooth for me. Still, it turns out that there's no horror film that can make my heart race the way buying a festival pass can.

That happened to me last year. From memory there was a delay before they became transteerable.

It's always the most stressful thing I do every year. Still shaking fifteen minutes after getting confirmation.

Took me an hour too but eventually I made it. Seems like the site is just too slow to cope with the demand.

That's the same for me.

I just get sent to select seats over and over.

My favourite of Frightfest. Super idea and subtly delivered.

I don't think he was going there, he was just passing through and his nervous demeanour made the man assume he was going ghoul-tourism. When he gets lost he sees the sign and assumes it's a good place to lie low.

I remember an eight hour battle that ended in bad, bad things.

Go to 'My Account' and the tickets will be there. You can manage them individually.

Yup, two tickets, barely even had time to take my tranquilisers and really settle in for my first palpitation and it was over. Didn't feel a thing :) Smooth this time, thanks. I'm also assigning tosomeone else. I think you log in to the ticketing site, then select a ticket and share it with another ...

I always try to know as little as possible before walking in, but that applies only to the main screens. I will do some trailerage for a handful of Disco films that look the best to me, then decide if I'm prepared to miss the main screen offering at the same time. Having seen the trailers after the ...

I've been in the horrible position of being unable to get tickets in the past, and the awful position of having them but seeing others have trouble. I'm really pleased you managed to sort it out, see you in August

Small rooms aren't something I worry about for Frightfest. I need a bed, a shower and enough floor to drop my shoes on before passing out. I've gone with the Strand Palace as usual, partly because I'm there so often they do me a bit of a deal.
