I gave up trying to get day passes earlier, due to the kind of problems mentioned here, but just tried again and got my required two seats for two days.
But here's a thing, I had no way of telling which screen I have booked for as all three just appeared to say "Premiere Screen".
(I may have missed some obscure small print)
For the Saturday, the first option had no seats, the third option had two seats not side by side, the second option had several seats either side of the central area, which I presume is for weekenders? So I booked for the 2nd /middle option on both days.
So (1) how do we know (guess) which screen we are in, and what happened to any sense that we could choose which order we saw the batches of three films?
This is particularly important on the Saturday with some good looking films in the Discovery screens. I was hoping to get Cheerleaders up against Show Pieces so I could see the latter. But, less choice on the discovery screen this year unless we get some extra screenings.
Maybe a large area in the cinema needs to be put aside for people trading seats. It could be based on the trading sceens from Trading Places.
A tough job for the Frightfesters when an organisation like VUE cannot get its house in order.
