Phones are evil. Eeeeeeevil!

Besides, how am I supposed to pick between the lousy leftover seats without a plan?

I'm waiting on the phone just now.

I'm sure we'll all get tickets, it's just a question of getting the screen we want :eek:

Looks like Vue are making 10p a minute out of all of us on the 'phone due to the website not working. Hmmm... :roll:

Really, really annoyed. Just spoken to Vue cinemas (and, after a 20 minute wait - paid £2 for the privilege). The girl I spoke with told me that they were told LAST NIGHT that they would 'physically not be able to book tickets" for Frightfest over the phone.

When I asked why they didn't, at least, tweet this out - she said that she didn't know.

She suggested that I pop into Vue cinema to pick up the tickets in person. I live in Bristol. However, I am getting the feeling that doing so will be slightly more time effective than dealing with Vue.

What a shambles. The FF ticketing page lists a number for phone bookings.
