Thanks Again, Cannes Press Ticketing System!

HE tried reserving seats for various hot-ticket (5.21) films this morning between 7 and 7:02 am…sorry! Better luck next year! There’s a word for this situation, and that word is “bullshit”.

Thank God I was able to snag a Bazin ticket to a late screening of Joachim Trier’s film…skin of my teeth.

10:45 am update: I’ve been informed by the festival press office that a “technical issue” is befouling the ticket request mechanism. Tickets are available despite the software saying they’re not, which is quite an “issue” indeed.
