How could I not blog this - my confirmation email from buying a certain set of movie tickets:
Your Movie: ... Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith PG-13 Showtime: ..... 12:01am, the evening of Wednesday, May 18, 2005 Theater: ...... AMC Esquire 7 6706 Clayton Rd. Saint Louis, MO 63117
and further down the confirmation email:
Ticket Pickup Instructions: Tickets may be retrieved at the Automated Box Office (ABO), the theatre box-office or Guest Services at the location where your movie is playing. You will need to bring the credit card you used to purchase the tickets in order to retrieve them. The MovieTickets.com confirmation number will not retrieve your tickets. While purchasing tickets online ensures you a ticket, seating is first come, first served. For this reason, we recommend you arrive at least 30-45 minutes before showtime.
30 to 45 minutes before? I think that I’ll be arriving something like 4 to 5 hours before!
