"ticketing and checkout experience is buggy & leaking tons of money"

Care to elaborate? How much money? I'm intrigued.

I was inadvertently logged out many times, my CC needed re-inserted many times, there are way too many screens to complete the purchase. I only frequent a couple theaters and they show me irrelevant theaters. I could go on. they were begging me to abandon my cart.

Every click is a lost customer. I could find them $10m in added revenue in 30 minutes.
