Haven't watch a cinema movie for a long time now. With all these new online/sms/phone booking, I think the service is abused. Many people doing multiple bookings.... always full. (cinemas should charge during booking process, instead of during collection) So what's left to do? Queue for tickets 30 mins before movie, for booking cancellations? |

obviously on-line booking shld b the 1st in mind if u wanna book... it's not really abused jz that if u r lookin for a blockbuster premier then if u don't book or buy the ticket 1 week aheadd most probably u won't get it. if it's a movie already 1 month old then u can jz go 2 d cinema n buy on d spot.. unless it's ladies night or wednesday IMO.

Long time never go to watch movie in the cinema, since I got Bee Tee! But most of the time, I will do online booking because it is more easier and time saving.

loving the online booking / sms / telephone[nvr tried tho, the line is alwaaaays busy] .
just today, booked two different movies via SMS. booked just an hour before both of the show and got the last row for both of the show!!, and even the seat was for four, there was only me & my friend. seems like buy one seat, free one seat maybe the other two seat besides us was a cancelled reservation. so damn lucky lah us. also i realized at the booking counter, for those who booked their ticket via SMS or telephone, they will never get the front row, only 6/7 row from the back. kinda pitied those who queued so long, even i was at the cinema around 10am, the line was so damn long until it had to continued at the emergency stairs. oh well, school holidays. on the other note, last time, at imax, i didn't booked spiderman 3 for its first day show earlier. but then, the show was at 6pm, and the uncollected reservation is open for public 30 minutes earlier. hahahaah, thank god for those who didn't collect their ticket earlier, i get to watch it and the best damn thing was, it was in the right middle seat and the last row. |

Another way is going to the cinema a week before that (depends on the cinema actually, some only allow 3-5 days before the actual showing) and buy the tickets for the show.

Online booking should be the most convenience way to get the right seat. But i like to hijack the abandoned pre-booking seat by directly go to the counter and ask for it. However, you'll need to make sure you get it right date.

So, I purchased a few tickets online (GSC.com.my) and I was given booking number. My question is, can I go to the counter and collect the tickets or I could only do it at kiosk booth?

You can directly head to the 'reservation' counter to colelct your ticket by mention your booking number. Precautious that you will need to attend half hour before the movie start for a valid collection. Other than that, i will hijack your ticket short after the half hour before movie started. |
