Some of the showings won't permit you to purchase tickets even though they don't say off sale. I tried for the Rocknrolla showing and it keeps telling me that there is not enough in the allotment at this time. My only reason for trying to get this showing is actually quite shallow in that I would love to see Gerard Butler in person. Otherwise, I think the fact that the Elgin is off limits to passholders is a horrible cash grab, especially as it seems to include showings beyond 6 and 9 pm. I suspect that the theatre won't be as filled for the second showings and morning films as in the past, because unless there is a guarantee of the director and actors appearing at the showing, there is no real reason to pay the higher price.
