When you get free tickets are they a guaranteed seat? I have to travel 24 miles and don't want to be disappointed. (I will do other shopping etc.. to make cost effective) I've sky tickets for Ben B.
thanks

In my experience, no! Get there early, as sometimes they issue more tickets than seats.

Saw Frost/Nixon yesterday and loved it, felt very sorry for the people who missed the first half hour as the cinema randomly decided to start it at 6pm instead of 6.30...ony by chance we'd got there stupidly early!

I'm with Stoopid...

Very good to have a big - therefore empty and quiet - screen in Leicester Vue for Frost/Nixon - all the oiks that turn up to freebies put off by the thought of intelligent, challenging film. Which it tried to be...

Anyway, Frank Langella's performance is the most Oscar-worthy I've seen in years. Who'd have thought Skeletor had it in him?? I don't like Michael Sheen and his novelty acts (Blair, Frost) but on the whole the whole cast were very good.

A lot better than I thought it would ever be. I can even imagine people paying for a ticket...

I'm assuming everyone has had the email from seefilmfirst about the benjamin button start time but if not the correct timing is 8.30pm

This seems quite late for a film which is nearly 3 hours long. I wonder why they've chosen to screen it so late

thanks for letting us know...Ive not received an email yet.

Just to add I've had an email from seefilmfirst, too - Benjamin Button in Brighton is 8.30 (booo)

I'm wondering about the screenings of Faitheart. There is no indication of how many tickets they may give out at a time- has anyone tried to get more than 2? I would like 6 and have asked for them, but am wondering about my chances. I can of course apply from different addresses for various members of the family. Anyone been to a vertigofims screening before and got any advice on this?

well you could easily just print off the ticket as many times as you like as there's no name or location on them!

Thanks.

yes, but the cinema may have a list of names of people who applied for tickets, and how many they asked for so it is not worth taking the chance.

I wasn't saying I would do it but I was quite surprised to get a ticket with no name on or confirmation of what cinema it's for
