BACK TO THE FUTURE

I was at the UGC last night. Back To The Future, one of my all time favorite movies was playing. Go ahead, call me geeky.

I am so sick of the numbered seating rubbish that goes on in UGC. I can't see what service it serves. Service it serves. Brilliant. It must be Wimbledon.

Anyway, I wanted to sit beside some friends that were also at the film. And I did, until the usher came over.

'Eh sorry, can I see your ticket. Eh sorry, you can't sit here'.

So I went over to my seat, E16.

My friends were at F1, F2, and F3.

Now remember, Back To The Future is one of my favorite films ever. And I have never seen it in the cinema.

I was told the film was a sell out. But clearly the rest of the crowd didn't share my enthusiasm, as most wandered in during the opening credits.

Cue...chaos.

The usher with no torch has to make sure everyone sits in their exact seats. And as I'm trying to enjoy the film, all I can hear is...

'Eh can I see your ticket please'.

'I can't see it. What numbers are your seats'.

'I don't think these are your seats'.

'These seats are for these people'.

'Can you come out to the hall so I can see your ticket numbers'.

'Why can't we sit here'.

'Because these people have these seats'.

'Well why can't they sit over there'.

'Because other people have those seats'.

Etc Etc.

SIT DOWN ALREADY!!!! SIT ANYWHERE!!! JUST SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!!!

Surely the whole point of a numbered seating policy is to remove chaos, and hence give everyone a pleasurable viewing experience. Not the total opposite!

Why can't people just sit where they want to?

Do they think people will fight over seats.

'Hey I want to sit here'

'No I want to sit here'

'Why you little'

WHAM BAM ZONK
