Winging It

With the pace my life has been thrown in the past 3 weeks, I nearly forgotten this gem of a moment. A group of friends an I decided to go watch the New Police Story during opening night. The thing is, the person who was supposed to be buying the tickets called the cinema up and was told the midnght show was already full.... at 10am. So we made other plans for the night. One of my buddies was telling of his 'Winging It' experiences and it got us fired up. Now there were 5 of us, on an opening night of a show which has already been fully booked in the morning.

We arrived at the cinema around 15 minutes before the show started and began putting the charm on the counter girl. We needed 5 tickets now... and LO! not only she had 5 tickets, she had 5 middle row tickets which have still been unclaimed. Woohoo, if the poor bastards came 10 minutes later well... life's a bitch anyway...

The tickets we got by 'Winging It' were even better than those we would normally have gotten for such an opening (Note that the Ipoh TGV sadly does not have internet booking, so there is no way to 'choose' booking seats).

When they say that they'll open up tickets for sale 30 minutes before screening if you don't collect, it seems like they actually mean business. Next time I think I'll just book and collect earlier in case some fool comes and 'wing' my ticket from me......
