   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?

   I'm guessing the boxes just got bigger. (Or they're cramming more in each box.)

   Yeah, I think the box sizes just vary from year to year.

   Hmmm... they look pretty standard to me. Anyway, I'll see how many tickets I'm getting this year. My box # is 32.

   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.

   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?

   Oh - also, any idea when the ticket e-mails will start rolling out? I'm about half-way through the lottery (high-20s somewhere), so I figure I'll get mine late tomorrow/early Wednesday?

   Ddreher - unfortunately i think if your order got here that early, you're likely in the first couple of boxes. according to someone i know, the box active around noon on thursday was #5.

    Donor orders are processed in order by the type of donor you are - the more you gave to the cause, the earlier in the queue your order is processed. I don't know how they sort within donor brackets.

    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.

    PS box no. 9 was on Thursday, last week, at around noon.

    Ooops. Sorry. I meant Box no. 9 was on Friday (not Thursday as previously posted) at noon.

    What? First box and still not getting all your picks? Which ones didn't you get?

    I did not get 3 tickets for "Hereafter". I got the rest though, but this was probably the only popular one of my choices.

    Well, "Hereafter" is only getting one screening, and it's non-premium, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised it sold out quickly.

    I'm in Box 21. I'm anticipating not getting a few films and am already planning to re-jig my schedule a bit.

    Sold out quickly is one thing, not getting a ticket in first box means not a single ticket was available to advance ordering, which is pathetic.
