The phone is ringing... will it get picked up this time though, that's the question... Nope. Useless. This is a farce.

Roughly how many are wanted though? I know I for one am dangerously close to my overdraft limit and pay day's so far away. And I need four. Why it was me who was trying for booking in my group is beyond me...

Surely it's sold out by now? Even with the choas it's only 1 screen so only needs a few people to get through and it'll be done.
I would of course be willing to buy for others or buy off someone given the chance however :)

Fair? I have no objection to the fact that they have lots of engaged signals and that it can be hard to get to the booking page. That is the natural blockage when 10,000s of people are trying to get to hundreds of tickets. I understand and acknowledge that.
What I object to is that when I and the others here manage to get through on the phones or the page allows us to order tickets, we are instead given an answerphone message or told that our credit card numbers are invalid.
If another fan gets the tickets before I do, that's fair enough, I can accept that. What I can't stand is that having gone through the hoops, there is a brick wall covering the finishing line.
If I was being unfair, by the way, the words I would have used include amateur, pathetic, shambolic, useless, arrogant, wasteful, disorganised and in honour of this being a Scottish festival, bunch of pish artists.
*carries on refreshing the page and dialing on two phones regardless*

Were all the tickets for the film festival going on sale at the same time? Maybe it's not just us - despite the crazed obsessives we are.

To quote gossi:
" EIFF have confirmed the website/phone issues have been caused by Serenity... By the way."
I'm thinking it might be time to give up, over an hour of trying and after lots of little break throughs to have to start again with little chance of getting through is enough punishment for me I think.

So they managed to stop answering the phones long enough to talk to UIP, then! :D
