    We got to the front of the queue and were chucked off, they said that the ordering service was closed. Now I'm in a queue that's seven and a half minates long, and I've been at that position for about 10 mins now. Is this queue moving or what???

    Has anyone else had any progress / luck?

    If you're calling the Odeon booking line, forget it!

    Sat through 25 mins of spectacularly poor pop music puntuated by "You are
    #70 in the queue, your call will be answered in 4 1/2 mins..." ever 30 secs.
    Finally got to the front of the queue: "Sorry, the booking office is closed:
    please call back between 9am & 9pm"

    Why not tell us this at the START of the bloody call ??!! All I've done is
    make a pointless contribution to Odeon & BT's coffers!

    Talk about dropping the ball....

    Cheers,

    Bren

    Darth-dom,

    I feel your pain! Good job I've taken tomorrow (this) morning off work to stay up tonight; I can spend it winging in person at my local Odeon!

    What a stuff up!

    Similar thing happened to me. After putting in my credit card details, they told me that it needed confirmation and to come back at nine.

    Well, I believe I have success here, People. If all has gone according to plan (And it should) I have now reserved two tickets for 11:40 pm May 15th. I won't now rest until I see actual tickets in my hand. Oh yes! :) :) :)

    I had the same problem too.

    I'm enraged!

    Worrying, (unecessarily I hope) that the midnight showing will be sold out when I go into town tomorrow morning.

    Peace ...

    I think percevearance will pay off... patience. (I know it's hard to be patient when you're enraged, but still).

    I didn't plan to be but, I'll be in the states for opening day. They put release forward by a week didn't they.



    so, I'm gonna try and get to see it over there but I'm not holding my breath. I shall probably go see it on Sunday the 19th or mon 20th.

    Maybe on the monday during the day. Less people. Heck, I'm gonna do that anyway, if I see it in the US or not. :D

    I have had enough with Odeon cinemas.

    Their advance booking, automated machine don't include AOTC in the options and I have got to the front of the queue 3 times now and just been cut off.

    I can tell ya, I'm going to cut something of their's off in a minute.
