    yep, mine the same. Bit weird. Also, cant find a rating for the screening - anyone know?

    I believe it's rated 18.

    Bruno tickets only mention your name, no sign of the cinema, the date/time or the number of people.
    As for the email, I believe in the FAQ they state the email will be sent out the day before the screening.
    It looks like we can ALL get tickets for Bruno, mayby the must see film of 2009, if we give them our email address, date of birth, postcode and mobile phone number???
    Before this code, which we are not putting into the normal see film first or tell ten websites, if a code has been on this site for over a day, ALL the tickets have gone??????
    Has anyone not been given a ticket????

    Hmmm... unless there are multiple screenings at the same time and in the same cinemas, there is going to be a free for all on the 30th. The code has been absolutely everywhere.

    In addition to the confusion of tickets.....allocation, etc
    I see there being a bit of a security issue here. As we were requested to give our e-mail addresses and a password and mobile phone and date of birth. Most people may have given enough info to expose themselves.....as in providing access to their personal info in their e-mail accounts.....
    Can someone confirm if Seefilmsfirst are organising the allocation of tickets or is The Mirror????

    the site is run by seefilmfirst and they've had my details for at least 2 years and I've never had any problems. I would never use the same password for registering somewhere as I would for my email account anyway. If you do it might be worth changing it anyway :)

    I don't want to be overly suspicious ........but I known that many people use the same password for e-mail and other sites they access.
    If Seefilmsfirst are running things them security is not a problem.....if The Mirror is collecting data by offering us a free film them some people can be exposed ...... And on a happier note....... Bruno does look fab.X

    Thanks marialionza, for seeing my concern and just a note to warn anybody who uses similar passwords .........
    Smart companies can run a successful marketing campaign by offering a free cinema ticket.....and by you exposing your e-mail address.....D.O.B., mobile phone number and password......you have given them a lot of info for them to market you in the future .....as well as sell on your info to third parties and you get inundated with junk.

    If you use same password to enter competitions or get free cinema tickets as your password to your e-mail account just BEWARE.

    I'm just giving friendly advise.

    I agree with you it's better to be cautious. I'd also recommend for this kind of thing that you use a fake mobile number (I just use a really old one that I no longer use but 00000000000 or 12345678901 would probably work too). There's no reason for them to need your real one.

    I guess there's also no need to give them your real DOB although I never thought of that (as long as you make it so you're over 18!)
