People really are thick as pig S**T aren't they.

I'm going to post how annoying it is that people discuss things on the alerts thread. FOUR HOURS later and send everyone another F**king email.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Have they never heard of a PM. I send PM's to people explaining in polite terms how they will have Pi**ed many people off. It doesn't take a hugh amount of brain cells.

Rant over. Many thanks for listening.

So some people are never happy -

Most of should have known to get to the box office early as these things are always oversold. I chanced it, got there at 6.20, queued for about 20 minutes to be told the free tickets went half an hour before but was grateful to be told that I could have tickets for tomorrow if I just waited for them to be printed out. As I was stood to one side waiting for my tickets people were whinging and bi***ing to the lady at the box office counter, they were quite rude to her. I think we were lucky to be offered tickets for tomorrow to be fair. Its a 30 min drive for us too to the NIA but at the end of the day -ITS FREE and we really wanted to go and I have the tickets in my hand now for tomorrow so I'm a happy customer. Just felt REALLY sorry for the poor lady at the box office, it wasn't her fault they got there too late, especially when we were warned via email it was going to be busy...

I agree,the Box Office people are just doing their jobs,if those that B***h and moan wanted the tickets so badly they would get their earlier

i followed another posters lead when i got my Tickets for the MEN showing and picked them up in the Morning,ok it took me a couple of hours to do it,but at the end of the day it meant no disapointment

We got there at 5.40 and the ticket office was open no queue. loads of ppl waiting around before us who already had their tickets.
Kids loved it chattered about it till bedtime. Me- I've got a bad back from the linked chairs as the kids kept bouncing off them lol.

Just returned from Batman Live in Birmingham - there were still plenty of empty seats so hopefully everyone got in.

However, DO NOT pay to see this show, save your money for better things. Shocked and disappointed at how poor it was.

I thought the whole show lacked entertainment. Apart from some good acrobats what else was there? The sets were ok, the lighting good but the actual show was boring. Compared to shows in the US theme parks (ie Universal) this was very ordinary. I was really looking forward to it and I was waiting for it to get into gear, for me, it never did and we left before the end.

Judging by the applause from the crowd throughout I think many others must have felt like me.

Free is one thing, but would you really have been happy paying £20 each for your seats?
