I think tickets may not have existed as the site went down almost straight away. As for the excuse of denial of service this is very poor in this day and age most basic home user broadband router firewalls can deal with this problem and cost less than £100. So Show Film First would have much better equipment that would ignore this traffic and beside the error message that came back was not a generic browser message but a SQL web command error so points to website or database not coping. I also would how many tickets have been allocated and not sent due to the problem. Because I had got through to final screen and put in who was attending and then it failed at point only not being able to get back on till all tickets had gone. I don't know if I have tickets or not as they have not been emailed so I assume not, which peeves me to an extent. SO I think Virgin media should put its hands and say sorry we got it badly wrong and offer an additional showings because I don't believe anyone got any tickets as this happen to me at 10.02 and by the time they sorted the problem there were no tickets left. mmm!!!
