Default Sold out movies

It seems that more and more often, good movies are sold out, again and again. It's kind of unpleasant to plan an afternoon at the movies, only to find out that its been "sold out." Then the same thing happens the next time. Kinda makes a person shy away from going to popular movies.

I remember as far back as "Bucket List" we tried three times, but were turned away. Finally gave up and went to Ocala where the theater was only half full.

Maybe The Villages has out grown the current theaters.

I guess there isn't anyway to notify people that a particular show is sold out. I just won't work anyhow.

Maybe it's just another snowbird thing.

Hopefully, there will be more open seats in Villages' movie theaters now that the visiting grandkids and their parents are gone?

Seems like a minor issue in one's daily life.

I'm pleased that it is minor for you. Others of us do have some responsibilities in life and we have to plan around them.

Maybe with the priority movie reservation pass you will get express seating or 10% off on the popcorn.

Where else in the country are you told in advance the movie is sold out? Maybe you real active people with obligations could get an app for your IPhone. Hold that thought....I'm calling Google now!

Default Movie Tickets

I saw "It's Complicated" at 7 pm on Monday. I bought my tickets at 2:30 in the afternoon. I arrived 40 minutes early so that I wouldn't have to sit in the front row. It's not that complicated........
