Two and a half tickets for the price of one…
If I had set this blog up earlier you would have been reading a disgruntled posting of my trip to the cinema on Friday. The plan was to see Hellboy 2 at 3:20, knowing fully well we could not leave work until 3:30. So we booked the tickets at lunchtime with the knowledge that we’d get in on time for the start of the film because of 20 minutes of adverts.
That was not the case. We walked in and the film was on, accepting we had missed 15 minutes of film we sat down and watched. However to our suprise the film finished an hour later, not sure on the running time we left. Once home I checked the running time and found it was apparently 2 hours, I was then informed the point of the film where we walked in was about an hour in. It didn’t take long to figure out that the film had started an hour early.
So today we returned to the cinema to query this, after some time of not getting anywhere fast, with all the cinema records stating everything was as normal, the manager vanished to get a number for customer services. When he returned to us, he admitted the film had started early. The result, a ticket to replace the half seen film and one for compensation, bonus. So thanks to the manager who actually made an effort for us.
