Hey folks, Harry here... Yes - it is true. The hungry desperate desire to attend QT6 utterly destroyed, pulverized and otherwise annihilated the Austin Film Society's Server. Good going you cult film lovers! The result of this? They've had to completely rethink their way of selling these tickets. It is my feeling that this will also be disasterous - when the phone lines are over-loaded... BUT - for now this is how you get tickets. You need to join the Austin Film Society. Can you do this on the phone this Monday when tickets go on sale? I think so, but you can still do that online at their site. BUT... you should call around 8am Central Time - if you get a busy signal - give it a rest for a couple of minutes then try again. Continually pounding the line will only aggravate you and possibly make the pass sale turn into some line-up here in Austin monstrosity. BEWARE - YOU DON'T WANT THAT!
Dear AFS Member,
Earlier today (8/12), the AFS online ticketing system was flooded
with requests for QT SIX badges. Since our online system was unable
to handle the traffic (!!!), we were forced to shut down online
sales. In order to resume selling QT SIX badges, we are returning to
the tried and true method of phone sales. Badges will now be
available by phone at 512-322-0145 starting MONDAY, AUGUST 15 at 8:00
AM.
Be advised, phone lines get tied up, too. Please remember that
badges are extremely limited, so put a little extra patience in your
morning coffee on Monday.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thanks for
all the interest. Quentin loves you, too!
