Some disappointment with the AMC as a venue: there is one lineup outside for all films, starting at the corner of Dundas-Victoria and then extending along Victoria. I hadn’t been here before, so I was hoping it would be like Scotiabank where you can wait indoors (particularly important on those rainy days). Once it’s time for you to enter, there’s a bit of chaos as you have to walk around the corner to Dundas, into the building, then up three escalators to the AMC lobby. All the while, mixing in with regular pedestrian traffic. For the unscrupulous, there are plenty of places to hang out along this route, then just jump in once you see the horde of people making their way in.
As seen on ticket pick-up day, the line to the Toronto Life Square box office starts outside. You’re handed a voucher/bookmark (let’s see if it changes day to day) to prove you were in line once you’re let up. At 5pm on Monday, the wait was 60-90 mins … too long for me to exchange some vouchers and still make my 6pm showing.
But speaking of box offices, I visited the one at Roy Thomson Hall for the first time today. At 10:30 am it was totally a breeze, no lineup at all. I wonder how this compares to the other two at this time? But based on this experience and what others have said, if you’re in the area of RTH and need anything ticket-related, be sure to try there.
