Has anyone else experienced this? I have attended two screenings at Ryerson where several people have rushed in front of the line up after pretending to be ahead of it to watch the arrivals. Can anything be done about this? Both times the entire line-up began screaming at them, and the volunteers were unfazed. The people I have talked to have told me to write an email, but I don't know how much that can accomplish.
Ryerson Line Jumping
(6 posts) (5 voices)-
This happened to me last night for the screening of The Road. Two people tried to get in the line in front of me, but I wouldn't let them. They did get in line behind me and the people behind them didn't say anything. Not sure what can be done about it?

MemberThere's been line cutting all over, not just at Ryerson. And this isn't the first year. It's unfortunate, but I'm not sure what can be done about it aside from the people in line being firm about no cuts or maybe getting more volunteers to help out, but they can only do so much.
I remember when I volunteered there last year and had to work the front of the line, this one couple got fed up with waiting for the end of the line that they just eventually stormed/pushed their way in. There was nothing I could do. Not like I could tackle them.

I had a woman cut in front of me at the Elgin. When I called her on it she said "she" (the volunteer) told go there. "To butt in line?" I asked. "Yes," she replied. "But you can go ahead of me" she graciously (NOT) said, and went behind me and ahead of the woman who was actually behind me, but on crutches (and thus wasn't paying much attention and was falling behind with the moving line). Under my breath I wished that woman bad karma.
Today I saw a woman cut in line at the Isabel Bader.
These people clearly have no shame. Do they have no sense of right or wrong?

MemberFunny. After leaving my comment, I experienced Ryerson line jumping firsthand this year. We were sitting in line at the corner of Church & Gerrard when these 2 girls came by and sat down in the empty spot in front of us. (There was an empty spot there because no one could stand the smell sitting there) We politely told them the end of the line was further down and they reassured us they knew and that they just didnt want to walk all the way down there and that they'd move out as soon as the line started moving.
Of course, when the time came, they didnt. So I told they "hey, you said you'd go to the back of the line" And all they said was "oh, go ahead in front of us then." And then they just proceeded to cut behind us instead. And of course the people behind us were in deep conversation, so they never noticed these 2 teenage girls just cut in front of them. I wanted to shout to everyone behind me "Hey, these 2 girls are cutting in line, but they'll let you go ahead of them if you point that out to them" But the friend I was with told me to just drop it and not make a scene. It was really frustrating.

MemberWow, sounds like I encountered the same girls as you - tried the exact same thing on me at the exact same location. They showed up half an hour before start time and just casually stood beside me, holding their tickets in their hands. I mean, how can one not notice that? If you're a ticket holder, you're not just going to randomly appear near the front, haha.
They really need some sort of set-up where the line is roped off. Maybe jumpers would be deterred if it actually involved jumping from now on.

UnregisteredThe argument is that architecture is the “canary in the coalmine” for economic fluctuations. The competition goes beyond this notion and allows participants to depict architects as everything from “cultural iconographers” all the way to “visionaries”. This looks like a great opportunity to understand how a larger world audience views architecture.
