2012 – Sold out!

Today I went tried to see 2012. This is one of those movies I’ve been anticipating for over half a year. I tried to book a ticket on the Golden Screen Cinema website, but due to very heavy traffic, their online ticketing system is broke, again (It happened when Transformers 2 came out). I contemplated seeing it on Thursday, but the show times at the nearby cinema wasn’t suitable for me.

Today I went to Pavillion KL, as I know they have a fully digital screen for the big movies. When I arrived, I saw the queue – or more likely the ‘crowd’, it was epic.. Oh my god!! Now, people that know me, know I detest a couple of things, Traffic congestion and queues, and this was one almighty queue. Fair enough, I thought, I’ll try to bypass the queue and go to the Gold Class section – Yes, I know it’ll cost more, but it’s better seats, more comfort and most importantly, no queues. I asked about the digital screen and was told that it’s not being shown on the digital screen – WTF!! Do these people have no clue at all? OK ok, so what shows do you have available.. 12pm – no, 1pm – no, 2.30pm – no, 3.30pm – one seat in the corner. Cost 50RM.. It was then I decided to sack that idea.. 50 Ringgit for a corner seat and the film’s not even in digital.. I’ll pass thanks. Overall, it was a bit of a wasted trip to KL, I didn’t really fancy doing anything else, and it was busy, so I headed home.

I think I may wait until Monday or Tuesday and see it at my local cinema – If I can! Hopefully the online ticketing system is back working then – But I won’t hold my breath!
