pic: My new Competition watch

MrForbes · #1 30-06-2008, 00:42

I went to the second showing (11am friday) at our local theater, and they had the watches and a flyer saying they were free with a children's admission. I asked how much that would be...she said $4.50. I said, hey, I just paid $4.50 for my ticket (matinee price), don't I get a watch? She said no, it's only for children's admissions. darn. I'll just have to keep wearing my Nixie watch to competitions....

I honestly had no clue why I got a watch and the people in front of me weren't even offered one. Some of the students went back and asked, and only after appeals that they were robotics students did they get one.

I didn't get one

though I did see it 2 days before it came out so I guess that makes up for it

I went and saw Wall-e the day it came out, and went to the counter all excited to get my watch, only to disappointingly find out that they only came with child tickets. :*(

You should have pretended you were really small, like walking on your knees or something, I'm sure they would have been fooled...

I didn't even see any of those at the theater where I saw WALL-E. )= Neat watch, though.

I think I got lucky here. First time I went, I was denied one by the theater employee. Then, I went again, a few days later, and the person manning the counter not only gave me one, he offered it to me! I have to say, that made my experience much more complete. I just couldn't bear not getting one of these

The watches were a "while supplies last" sort of deal. The movie drew large crowds, and the theater you went to probably just ran out (unfortunately).

Maybe a different theater would still have some. (The one I went to in Bloomfield, CT had a bunch)
