I went to the movies in Ireland and wanted to buy a ticket for the show starting an hour and a half later. The tik gal said...."Where'd you like to sit?" And I said.....assigned seats? and she said oh yes!
I said...."Aisle seat on the left about halway down?" And out it popped. Went to dinner and came back as the trailers were running and walked into a sold out theatre where my seat was waiting right where I wanted it! I liked that a lot. Does anyone do this? Would it work here? Obviously you'd have to use good software and a pos but it sure had me pleased. What about reserving 20-30 seats for advance sales and selling them if no one rerserved them? Or simply another PITA (pain in the...........)

The small town theater that I go to most often, has a tiny balcony and it fills up fast. The thought of being able to call your seat up there would be a great idea in deed. It would possible bring more people trying to vie for the good seats. Let the games begin.

I'm thinking of reseving just a number of seats.... 2 here..4 there....an aisle seat here and there. I'll talk to my wife: the boss! She greets ideas like this like Genghis Kahn visiting villagers on a bad day. There should a small and simple way. In Ireland everyone knows that when they buy a ticket it is for a certain seat and no other and they will be chucked the moment someone comes along..thing about the last time you tried to switch to an aisle seat with leg room on a long flight only to be herded back into your cramped seat between to jumbo guys.
