Cinema Ticket Machine

manufacturer: Pathé Cinemas

This was actually not that bad! The funny thing was that nobody was using it. Everyone was standing in line for the counter instead, and that line was huge... I decided to give it a try and wondered why nobody was using it. Well, I didn't (really) find out..The machine has the usual touchscreen issues where you have to touch it 3 times for every selection. And when I didn't have enough money in the bank (sad me) and pulled out another card I had to start over entirely. It didn't remember my selections.Sorry for the bad pictures. I will go back there soon to make some better ones. I had to catch my movie!!

  • wrote: 2007-10-24 18:41:00 With some airliners you can choose the seat you want upon booking. Should be easy to implement the same thing here. If you want to choose a seat, use the machine. Otherwise use the counter.
