Here’s why it pays to check your credit card statements online every couple of days.
I found a $66 charge from Alamo Drafthouse I didn’t recognize, so I called to ask them. I probably figured I would need to speak to someone about getting a refund due to the server fiascos on Monday night.
The nice lady at the box office said the charge was for my tickets to The Force Awakens. I was like, “I never received a confirmation so I figured it’s a glitch. I mean, got close but then the site choked right when I pressed purchase.”
“Oh no,” she replied, “you have seats 11-13, eighth row (the theater’s last row), Thursday night, 7 PM. Congratulations!”
“These come with the glasses right?”
“Yes but we’ll be giving out vouchers. Sorry. I’d recommend you pick up the tickets up tomorrow when you see Bridge of Spies.”
SUCK IT UNIVERSE!
