The people down at the TIFF07 boxoffice this year are very patient and very nice and they put up with an incredible lot of people and paper shuffling and questions and more paper shuffling.
We thought that Labour Day was going to be very peaceful down there at College Park - an empty food court, footsteps echoing in the halls, just pick up your tickets and make the additions and changes with no line-ups [ that's almost rule #14 ] - almost.
Picking up the tickets at 16h00 [ 4:00 pm EDT ] was no problem - however, we had to boost our allotment up to the 50 on our Festival Pass so it would just be a simple saunter over to the box office - then reality hit. In a 30 C sun the lineup snaked out of the doorway from College Park and back onto the sidewalk of Yonge Street and a few minor thoughts of the lineup not being served by the 6:00 pm closing time entered a few minds as people were making phone calls on their cells and rescheduling appointments or rendezvous for dinner. Belle and Sebastina live in Amsterdam kept the lineup tolerable and asking a few people if they had tickets to exchange but with no luck. By 5:30 pm the front door loomed and the hallway was cool respite. We had already spent the evening before trying to figure out which 8 tickets more to get and after the very nice lady put up with us for about half an hour we had 10 new tickets and two fell by the wayside [ including They Wait and Flash Point but the biggest score was Lars and the Real Girl, The Tracey Fragments and I'm Not There. Of course now we have a definite conflict between Lars and the Real Girl and The King of California. So if anyone wants to trade their 7 pm screening of The King of California for a 2:30 pm let us know. We will throw in Elizabeth: The Golden Age or Sleuth.
We still have to make a couple more switches in there. And there is still the Saturday the 15th morning schedule that you can laugh at.
The new schedule is down there at the bottom of all this white space we cannot get rid of. Keep scrolling down.
