City Express News The 24th Shanghai International Film Festival will be held from June 11 to 20! The screening schedule was launched on the official website of the film festival (http://www.siff.com) yesterday, and everyone can do their homework!
Different from previous years, this year's Shanghai International Film Festival "Belt and Road" Film Week will extend the screening activities to Hangzhou, Ningbo, Nanjing, Suzhou and Hefei for the first time, so there will be two ticket rushing times, one is tomorrow at 8:00 (June 5, 8:00), open online ticket sales at the Shanghai main stadium in Taobao, and the other is at 12:00 on June 7, opening online ticket sales for 6 theaters in the Yangtze River Delta.
This year's ticket-snatching platform is still Taobao tickets, through the Ticketing App and search for tickets on the mobile phone Taobao and Alipay APP, you can conduct Shanghai International Film Festival scheduling query, support movie title search, and view the schedule according to the theater and date.
For Hangzhou film fans, every year the Shanghai International Film Festival is a festival, but the ticket is also notoriously difficult to grab, although there are many movies, more tickets, more people. I have a friend who boiled rice dumplings into a pool of mud last year in order to grab tickets, "just grabbed a Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." "There are also friends who thought about it the day before, watching the full set of "Harry Potter" to stay in a hotel for three nights, where to stay, and finally proved that it was completely overthinking.
How can you stand out in the vast number of people and successfully grab tickets?
The ticket-snatching strategy of veteran movie fans "Eggplant" is to first ensure that the heart is good, and then pay more attention to the ticket transfer information. "Eggplant" has officially "joined" the Shanghai International Film Festival since 2015, and the highest record is to share a house with a few friends in Shanghai, stay for 7 days, and watch a week of blockbusters. Her ticket snatching experience is four words "is to be fast", open the mobile phone on time, and see what can be grabbed to grab which one first. In addition, she also has a practical experience that it is best to make an appointment with friends to grab together, everyone divides the work, and then transfers tickets to each other, completes each other, and then pays more attention to the transfer information on Douban and Weibo.
Another super senior film fan who will go to the Shanghai International Film Festival "Bai Wharf" every year has the experience of "Shen Dacang", and it is also necessary to find a few like-minded friends to buy it, and everyone buys one, generally the first option, which is relatively easy to buy.
And as a person who has come over, my advice is to grab the popular movie, the seat is not preferred in the middle, although the moment you go in, it may show that it is still an empty seat, but in fact, someone has already started, grab the seat next to it, grab it, don't give up, get off immediately!
