I don't know if anyone else in the NY or LA area had this problem, but ordering tickets was next to impossible for the opening night at the Ziegfeld. One phone number directed you to call back during operating hours. The other phone number directed you to Moviefone with a theatre express code but when you called, it said "There are currently no showtimes for the Ziegfeld" If you used the website, it forwarded you to
Clearview Cinemas/Moviefone website and would show all of the opening day showtimes were sold out. During the day, however only the 7:45 show would be sold out. The tickets were listed as $10. but I bought them for $7. Meanwhile, a friend saw the "sold out" and didn't bother going back.
Tonight I went to the showing and it was probably less than 1/5 full. Not surprising when you had to jump through many hoops and have the determination of an Olympian to actually get a hold of the tickets.
On the positive side, the audience that did manage to get tickets seemed to react well to the film.
