THE FILM I WANT TO SEE IS SOLD OUT WHAT NOW?

If you really want to see a film and it is sold out and are
willing to take a chance on no-shows, go to the Virginia
Theatre Box Office thirty minutes before the screening time,
and wait in line. Shortly before the film begins, any empty
seats will be sold on a first-come first-served basis.
