Bookmyweekend for a booked weekend

Finally, my backlog of movies is coming to an end. Watched Age of Ultron and Boyhood over the weekend. Both were amazing yet widely contrasting movies. And most importantly I watched a Metallica show live, a big check off my ever changing bucket list. To share my thoughts on those movies and to give a final conclusion to the build-up for the Metallica show I guess I will devote separate posts for them later. For this post, however, I am going to share my experiences on a new online ticketing platform that I used this time, "bookevents.com".

What separates it from those other popular platforms is that its got this awesome, super convenient feature called "Bookmyweekend". What it really does is that it allows you add movie bookings and other events to a weekend selection list, kind of like adding items to a cart on an e-commerce site. So when you are selecting seats for a movie, instead of clicking on "Proceed To Checkout", click on "Add to Weekend". And to access your selections just click on "Bookmyweekend" link on the top bar.



As simple a layout as it looks, it makes the job that much easier when you want to undo some bookings or undo that last booking, or keep doing it until everyone is in loop and agreeable for the dates(as is always the case :-))
An even bigger kick-ass feature was the coupons we got for Dominos and Gyani's. I seriously recommend this site and especially this feature if you are one who wants to book a couple of events for the weekend and don't want to go through the checkout process for each individual event.
