For the same date and time period, there are no seats available for a reservation of your party size unfortunately.
user
Really, the movie is sold out as well as that theater?
assistant
For that date and time yes, is there any other way I can be of assistance?
user
Not really, I guess I won't be checking out any tickets to see a movie this Friday.
