Re: Virgin Media - free cinema tickets for customers
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.

Re: Virgin Media - free cinema tickets for customers
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.

Re: Virgin Media - free cinema tickets for customers
Its not Virgins fault.
It looks like www.showfilmfirst.com is actually down and thats the site that VM links into.

Re: Virgin Media - free cinema tickets for customers
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 -_-

Re: Virgin Media - free cinema tickets for customers
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.

Re: Virgin Media - free cinema tickets for customers
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 =[
