Yes - I thought this was general knowledge.
I've had a pair from Renault at least twice in the past and all you get is like a complimentary ticket.

I seem to remember that I was successful in DOUBLING their value.

But why are they going to the trouble in offering us tickets for specific films if the tickets they send out are for anything? Doesn't make sense to me at all.

Heatherw_01, thanks for opening a new thread and for removing the chat posts from the codes thread. If you could please move the posts for past screenings as well, the codes thread would be at least 12 posts lighter!

thanx - no there was a little confusion as i and hm71 won tickets but we couldnt remember why and someone said it was for 21 which we were both going to see anyway but getting them blank is better. just have to decide which blockbuster to save it for if i cant get free tickets to see indiana jones or batman though i have been hearing rumours about spiderman 4

I managed to get two tickets for Flashbacks of a Fool with the Express voucher (will go next Weds. to Greenwich Odeon to see it with my husband).

I tried all over the place to get tickets for 21 (that my daugther would have loved to see!) or In Bruges (that all my family want to see! Colin Farrell.... yummy... well maybe my husband has a different motivation from mine and my daughter's for wanting to see that film hehe) but had no success.

I entered the Time Out competition for In Bruges, crossing fingers on that!

I love winning film tickets! This forum is GREAT! THANK YOU ALL!

Caterina



If you can't get it free, find it at a discount. If you cannot get it at a discount, don't buy it, but wait until you can find it free or discounted!

Default Directed to wrong screen

Went to the Odeon at Manchester last night with tickets to watch "21" only to find having been seated for 15 mins,we had been directed to wrong screen!
As film started we realised it was "In Bruges" at which point we did not want to bother moving.Anyway as it turned out film was brilliant.
Anyone got any idea what next free film offers will be?

I might save them for Iron Man!!! was very surprised today when they were just Odeon comp tickets- couldn't help wondering why they don't just do a draw each month rather than a draw for a particular film.



In awe I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebon void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang forever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought...I must put a roof on this lavatory.

New thread! Ok I went to see 21 on Monday at Vue Islington. Nice cinema, v.packed (although not as bad as when I saw TOBG). I enjoyed it, did seem to drag on a bit, but good story - a bit predictable. Liked the main character and Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne were equally menacing in their opposing roles. I'd give it 8.5/10.

In Bruges at Greenwich last night, was in the larger screen 4 which was quite nice. ummm, not sure about this one. At times I thought it was good and then I felt quite bored. Someone on the old thread said it would work well as a play - I'd agree on that. I'd give it 6/10.

Default Flashbacks of A Fool

A while ago I signed up for the Showcase Insider Club because even though the cinema at Paisley isn't really that near me, I figured if anything really good came up I would take someone who didn't mind driving there. Just got my first ticket offer, for Flashbacks of A Fool, but it's the same night I'm already going to see In Bruges! The latter is in a cinema much nearer to me so I'll go to that, don't think I can give anyone my FOAF tickets because they have my name on them and you need to be a member of this 'club' to sign up for them, but figured I'd say in case anyone with a showcase cinema near them wanted to sign up quickly and they might offer another batch of tickets. The link to sign up is in the codes thread near the beginning.
