Harry Potter & the horror of the tickets sales
Yesterday, as promised to my little brother, I had purchased 2 tickets for Harry Potter & The Order of the
Phoenix on
next Sat , 14 July, 10am. Advance tickets purchase was made available since last Friday.
Dun ask me why I choose 10am. It's because I was left with no other choice.
Here's the conversation between me and the ticketing staff (TS)
Me: Hi, I'd like to enquire
abt the advance ticket purchase for Harry Porter & The Order of the Phoenix.
TS: Sure . Which date?
Me: 14 July, next Sat.TS: The earliest time slot will be 10am. ....
Me: Is there any session ard 11am .TS: We Don't have a session at 11am. There will be one at 10.20am and one at 10.40am
(and i was wondering , isn't 10.40am AROUND 11am?)ME: Can I have 2 tickets for the 10.40am slot and by the aisle.TS: (checking). Sorry all the seats are fully booked
Me: How abt 10.20amTS: Sorry , only the seats from the 2
nd row from the front are available
Me: How abt other sessions for the day?TS: (check check check) All the sessions are full, except for the 10am slot.
Me :(feeling exasperated) Ok. A pair of tickets for the 10am slot. ThanksThat's scary man, yesterday was the first day of the week, yet tickets for next weekend (i stress "next") are almost sold out.
***************************
I find it irritating that
ppl slang unnecessarily.
This evening, i was listen to FM933 on my mp3 player while waiting for my bus. and this female DJ with super high pitch voice was giving away tickets to "Harry
PORTer and the Order of the Phoenix".
Since when did Potter become Porter?
Perhaps she just wanna make it rhymes with "Order".
bleah!
