Absolute joke of a roll out from virgin again. Site can't cope and keeps crashing.

When will companies learn that if they give away free stuff then demand will be great. **** me off sometimes. What a waste of my life.

How is it a joke. Exactly the same as Ticketmaster crashing when tickets for popular events go on sale

No matter how much bandwidth you dedicate to it, at somepoint it may run out.

Its not Virgins fault.

It looks like www.showfilmfirst.com is actually down and thats the site that VM links into.

I got to the 3rd url, ticket_uncheckout.php but it's just loading and loading.

Chose my cinema, and clicked order, then database error again -_-

Yep the showfilmfirst website is down. Still no less annoying though and I can't believe companies cannot plan for this with proper infrastructure and bandwidth or alteast roll things out phased. Whichever involves the least time and hassle and lottery.

I really don't think it was this that broke the showfilmfirst site. Pure coincidence I think.

XXXXXX = Ticket number, which you should see when you hit checkout for the first time. Although now this page keeps going down too =[
