I received an email at 8:47AM this morning and I got the following screenings. I did pick Biutiful on SAT 09/11/2010 9:30am AMC 6, but I got my second choice, The King's Speech instead.

I'm in Box 21. I'm anticipating not getting a few films and am already planning to re-jig my schedule a bit. ronpaulo on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-577 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:00:09 +0000 ronpaulo 577@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ I did not get 3 tickets for "Hereafter". I got the rest though, but this was probably the only popular one of my choices. typhoon on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-575 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:27:05 +0000 typhoon 575@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ What? First box and still not getting all your picks? Which ones didn't you get? ronpaulo on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-573 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:48:01 +0000 ronpaulo 573@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ Ooops. Sorry. I meant Box no. 9 was on Friday (not Thursday as previously posted) at noon. ronpaulo on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-572 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:36:17 +0000 ronpaulo 572@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ PS box no. 9 was on Thursday, last week, at around noon. ronpaulo on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-571 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:23:07 +0000 ronpaulo 571@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ I was in box no. 9. I thought I will get everything I asked for (I cheered at work because I have never been in the first box ever!). But, sadly -- I still did not get all my choices. I was not in the donor box. Imagine that. I am disappointed.

I don't know how they sort within donor brackets. ddreher on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-568 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:09:27 +0000 ddreher 568@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ abishop - thanks for the help, even though it was bad news. tiffreviews on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-567 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:03:32 +0000 tiffreviews 567@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ Email confirmations will be sent around Wednesday.

I'm about half-way through the lottery (high-20s somewhere), so I figure I'll get mine late tomorrow/early Wednesday? detritus on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-564 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:20:32 +0000 detritus 564@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ Judging by the relative lengths of the donor vs non-donor line-ups this morning, donors are probably outnumbered at least 10-1, maybe more. Out of curiosity, how are the donor tickets processed? First-come, first-served? ddreher on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-563 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:17:36 +0000 ddreher 563@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ i'm from toledo, ohio and my fedex order got there on aug 26 at about 10 am. any idea about which box i might be in? Irvmeister on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-562 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:02:05 +0000 Irvmeister 562@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ i think the boxes are always the same, I think the donors have greatly increased. I know in our group that a lot of people were donors this year ( or shared donations) as you can have up to 100 tickets per donation. So in theory up to 10 ten-packs could be put in one doner envelope. I really think thats where the missing envelopes are, which i guess means the more seats are filled before even the first regular box is processed. typhoon on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-560 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:57:26 +0000 typhoon 560@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ Hmmm... they look pretty standard to me. Anyway, I'll see how many tickets I'm getting this year. My box # is 32. parabola on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-559 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:57:16 +0000 parabola 559@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ Yeah, I think the box sizes just vary from year to year. detritus on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-558 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:46:52 +0000 detritus 558@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ I'm guessing the boxes just got bigger. (Or they're cramming more in each box.) typhoon on "So few boxes this year" http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/topic/so-few-boxes-this-year#post-557 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:33:04 +0000 typhoon 557@http://www.tiffreviews.com/forum/ We only have 39 boxes this year, compared to 56 last year and 70something 2 years ago. Are the number of festival goer decreasing or the number of donator increasing?
