I’m not able to “Request a Seat” even though there are seats available. When I click on the button, the screen refreshes as if nothing happened. Can you sign me up?

I’ve tried to cancel my reservation to this screening, The Reliable System, tomorrow night but it doesn’t appear that I have. The film still shows up in my Reservations List. I have tickets to the ballet and I won’t be able to make this screening. Please cancel for me. Thank you!
