What tenses are used here?

I'm sorry I left without you last night, but I told you to meet me early because the show
started at 8:00. I had been trying to get tickets for that play for months, and I didn't want
to miss it. By the time I finally left the coffee shop where we were supposed to meet, I
had had five cups of coffee and I had been waiting over an hour. I had to leave because I
had arranged to meet Kathy in front of the theatre.

When I arrived at the theatre, Kathy had already picked up the tickets and she was
waiting for us near the entrance. She was really angry because she had been waiting for
more than half an hour. She said she had almost given up and gone into the theatre
without us.

Kathy told me you had been late several times in the past and that she would not make
plans with you again in the future. She mentioned that she had missed several movies
because of your late arrivals. I think you owe her an apology. And in the future, I suggest
you be on time!
