When you buy a movie ticket in Hong Kong, you buy a ticket for a specific seat as if you were going to a concert or the opera. 14b or 27f or 8d. While you can buy them at the ticket window, you can also buy them online. This allows you to check availability and pick your movie seat from the comfort of your living room. If you are going to a weekend showing, it is advisable to buy your tickets online two or three days in advance.
We are new to all of this. We thought we understood how the system worked. One weekend we attempted to take the girls to a movie. We never made it. The piece of paper with all the Chinese writing on it that we had printed on our home computer wasn’t so much a receipt as it was a note telling us we had inadvertently been logged off the system.
We’re going to try again next weekend.

P.S. Note: I did eventually make it to the movies (Avatar and Wolfman) but that was only because my friend ordered the tickets. Annika and Elise are still waiting to go to the show.
