"Guys, gals we've got two months to sort out this issue with people buying frightfest tickets before they have to buy stuff again, what shall we do?"

22 minutes to get one ticket... I also had the 'Oops' message once and had to go again... this is scarier than the films...

EDIT: I'm sure it will be worth it though!

It was a mess, but there were sporadic moments where everything worked super efficiently. I managed to get my 8 Discovery picks, and didn't have to resort to any planned substitutes.

I'm going to see Haunt, Red Letter Day, Porno, Halloween Party, The Barge People, Critters Attack, True Fiction and I Trapped The Devil.

I may regret Critters Attack, but it looked less insufferable than The Drone. Although I really want to see the short that's showing before The Drone. Very hard to schedule things this year for me. I wish I could swap the short onto another feature (I genuinely don't understand why such a short would be attached to a 'tongue in cheek horror comedy'. I assume it's a time thing), switch Fingers with Critters Attack (I can't see Fingers bc Porno). Saturday was very difficult for me. I've never booked so many Discovery screenings. I didn't want to see The Black String either, but nothing in the Discovery screenings interests me at that time either.

That's not to say I'm not stupid excited for a lot of things this year. Sunday is wall to wall perfection in the main screen for my tastes. Didn't even bother to check the Discovery stuff for that day.

Once I got in it was plain sailing and incredibly quick after that....just took 10 minutes to get in!

Seems to be working OK now. Got everything I wanted except I had to buy Dachra and Short Film Showcase 1. Agree that it' very frustrating that these ticketing issues seem to reoccur on an annual basis

... and at 12:35 things just started zipping along nicely... must have shoveled some more coal into the ticketing machine...

Yes, can't complain now, I even got to for To Your Last Death by mistake so that is one dropped off by the kiosk early doors.

Missed out on Happy Face though *sad face*

I am concerned I don't have an e-mail for Halloween Party. It does show in my account though, so I assume it's fine. I can't even remember if that's one of the ones that hung on an 'Oops' page.

Got 7 out of 11. Sounds good but it's my worst record, small screens went flying :(

Yup, starting working really well at 12:35... I guess either the initial rush had tailed off, or they assigned more processing power to the ticketing AI...!? :s
