   #48 was chosen (of 56). I'm in #8, so 17th box overall.

   I dropped off this morning at 11:30am and was box 46 :( I'll likely have a lot of movies to reschedule on Thursday.

   My luck seems to alternate between really good and really bad for these draws; fortunately this year it's good, and I owe it to ... the Jonas brothers?!

   I meant to drop off my order last night before the box office closed at 7pm. I left Mississauga at 6pm and this should have been plenty of time for a Sunday evening (25min drive when the traffic is good). Little did I know that a Jonas brothers concert was happening that night which would slow the traffic on the highway to a crawl for the entire way! I arrived downtown well after 7 and hoped to maybe catch a TIFF volunteer that I could simply hand my order envelope to, but no such luck as the place was pretty closed up.

   So I had to leave work this morning to make another trip downtown. I got there just after noon and ended up being in ... box 49! So, yeah ... thanks Jonas brothers!

   LOL. After reading your 1st sentence, I thought you went to the Jonas brothers concert last night :) Congrats with the box #! It's bad for me this year... I'm in 44.

   Bad luck, #46, second year in row. But I'm even more disappointed with the pick up schedule. Why Thursday? Why 7AM? Why not Labour Day, as before? Why make me take a day off work so that I can exchange tickets? Why make life more difficult for the viewers? Perhaps it's a not-so-subtle tactic to make me donate money next year? Too bad. I don't respond well to negative incentives. TIFF has lost some respect in my eyes this year. If, on top of that, I have poor luck with my film selection this year. It'll likely be my last. The experience just won't be worth it anymore.

   Rob,

   I can narrow it down a little for you. I dropped mine off Thursday around noon and I'm in box 9. Hope that helps.

   I dropped mine off Thursday late morning for box 8.

   Last year I did even better than this year (and got all my picks), but the two previous years I was, like, third last box or something.

    i guess i won't be getting into antichrist or the white ribbon.

    fortunately, this year was the first time i filled in 2nd choices. for the previous 8 years i've been filling out the order form i never understood how it worked. i wonder why it took them so long to make it so much more understandable.

    I would have been in box 8 or 9 and I got my email at 3:15 pm today.

    I got all my picks (including one at the Elgin).

    Box 8, got my e-mail at 3:20pm today.

    Surprised to get Thursday night Elgin screening of Broken Embraces. Got all picks except Monday night's A Single Man (the Tom Ford film). Hopefully I can pick that up at the second screening. Will have 2 vouchers to redeem. May try and do some switcheroos with some of the films I got, as I've had a change of heart on some, and want to pick up others.

    I was box 19 and I received my email yesterday at around 9pm. I have the 50 festival pass. I did not get "Up in the Air", "Education", "Creation", etc. (these are the second screenings).

    But I did get "Broken Embraces", "Chloe", "Leaves of Grass", etc.

    My other choices are the less popular ones anyway so I know I was going to get them.

    Overall, I think I am lucky. I will be lining up for Rush for some and try to exchange tickets tomorrow.

    Never mind; just called them. Just in case you're in the same (worrying) boat: Give them a quick call, they'll sort it out for you.

    I wish the festival would give the out-of-towners an opportunity to exchange tickets on Thursday as well. I feel that we're at a real disadvantage, being stuck with vouchers, or worse in my instance, errors in their processing. Their only solution was for me to come down to the box office Thursday morning. Can't really do that when you live half a day away.

    I really don't mean to bitch - I love the festival and continue to go every year - it's just that so many things could be improved by embracing a few new procedures and taking advantage of the digital world we live in. Why am I still FED-EXing in my selections when we could be doing this all online? It was only a few years ago I was FAXING in my selections! Just my $0.02.

    Does anyone know if tomorrow there will be a separate line for people just to pickup their package and a second line for pickup & exchange?

    Box update? Anyone?

    2 out of 20 choices? box 20??? how is that possibl? did the person ask for 20 tickets to Up in the air Or health Ledger's last movie? Or not fill in his other 18...is that even possible??

    I would have expected even in the last box to get at least half? I have been last before...and never did I get 2 out of 20 :(

    where was this post, can you provide the link?
