Friday night was very busy. We went to go see Rambo and pre-booked the tickets so that we did not have to queue for the tickets. When we arrived there it was already a mad house and at the ticket box we had to wait in a massive queue to swipe our credit card for the tickets. Teenagers were trying to book and pay for tickets and they could not operate the system and their credit cards kept on getting declined. It was not very user friendly when trying to book tickets. But pre-booked tickets were quite easy, you could just swipe your card and your tickets would print.
When we could finally go to get our normal dose of popcorn and slush there was a massive line and although it went substantially fast there were not enough staff or stock to service the popcorn hungry movie mongers that night. The two main popcorn machines were out of order and they weren’t popping them fast enough. The slush was not iced and could not be served and the machine coke was really horrible. Anyway we got our popcorn 5 minutes into the add breaks and Rambo was not really that packed. I think they did a terrible job advertising it. I think the producers thought that it would advertise itself. But for active people who don’t veg in front of the telly and don’t go to the movies that often you would not have known that Rambo was showing.
Anyway big ups to the sound, seats and big screen at the V&A, it was great watching the movie there and although the service was friendly and fast you need more staff on such busy nights and be prepared with your refreshments.
