  • i'd guess so, no where does it say you can only get 2 tickets. you could always ring the cinema or pop in and find out just to be on the safe side... i wouldnt fancy trying to calm 7 kids down at the cinema if they get told they cant go in :rotfl::rotfl:

    :) mrs zeta = !!!!!!!! :-D

    Went this morning with kids from FilmClub and a couple of my own...got in no probs:j but thanks fro advice put my mind at ease

    As for the film - 50/50 as far as we were concerned those of us that have seen the original wax on wax off classic prefer that one...altho everyone enjoyed it we were confused that they called it Karate kid then made a film about Kung Fu!!!:rotfl::rotfl:


    kids who went are now constantly saying... "Dude I'm from Detroit" !!!

    I have tickets for Karate Kid Thursday, not used SFF tickets before for the cinema, how does it work when you arrive, do you need to get there really early, do they over allocate? Am taking the kids don't want them to be disappointed if we can't get in.

    Talking of kids, I am taking my 6 & 7 year after watching and your comments about the rating do you think its suitable?

    Thanks!!

    My kids said they think 12A would be more appropriate - I took 12 -15 year olds and in their 'expert' opinion some of the fighting is a little much for a PG

    hope that helps?!?!?

    What gives you the right to call cinema staff names when you arrived after the film had started? It quite clearly states that on the emails that accompany legally acquired tickets that there is no late admittance. Now you know how people who hold legit tickets feel when that can't get into a screening knowing that there will be some dodgy people like you who cheated their way in!

    I hope SFF, Showff, Tellten and the rest start using checklists so the likes of you don't get in.
    Don't arrive any later than the showing time and all you need is your printed e-ticket - all done. I went to see KK at 11am this morning and arrived at 11:06 with 3 friends only to be turned away with "sorry the screening is full plus it has already started" - fking knobheads. To answer your questions - YES they do overallocate. There are also some clever/dodgy people like me that can obtain tickets EVEN when they unavailable, thus taking up sneaky seats. Get in the auditorium at least 30 mins before the movie starts and you'll be fine,

    I knew you'd enjoy it. I feel sorry for those who didn't bother with it just because it is subtitled. It's a wonderful film regardless of the language it is in.

    Yes I can call them names and I have. I do accept that it was my fault for turning up late so no biggie. Also checklists will never work, I can go as me, Michael Jackson, Nelson Mandela or Bill Clinton - the possibilities are endless......BRAP. Anyways, i'll get my own back soon enough.

    macca, you must fink you are Vinnie Jones lol. why are you planning on getting your back on a 16 year old cinema attendant?

    Whilst its true that you can 'forge' tickets fairly successfully (you dont need to be 'clever' to do that), the accepted tickets are sometimes checked, and ones with entries that dont match up (the code on the bottom of the printout) can give you away.

    Also, your IP address can be traced via the web, so watch who you gwt on the wrong side of - enough effort can get you traced to your home address, 'Kick !!!' style (hehe).

    Also, you are asian with three friends (quote 'BRAPP' hehehe). We may have seen you in the queue today. Be careful who you wind up, i would 'ate to see you get 'urt.


    Finally (on a seperate note heheh) what 25 year old wouldnt go out with Catherine Zeta Woman?? Shes drop dead gorgeous! oooooo, i 'ate it when gorgeous actresses (Michelle Pfeiffer, Zeta, Aniston) act as put upon or washed up unfortunates. watch it Pfeiffer!

    Just to be brief - 1) Got the codes, fonts, addresses, times and names covered. The power of P-shop is truly powerful - trust me buster, I got the script like4like and boxed off 2) Would it help if I told you I was MCITP, MCSA CompTia Net+ 2010 certified? IP Address - Cmon man, I'm better than that lad - who surfs without a shell these days anyways??? and 3) Yeap your spot on - but I doubt we'd get hurt, did you see the size of the 2 incredible hulks I was with? BRAP. Appreciate the advice, but when I said - "Ill get them back" I wasn't referring to attendant, I was referring to the cinema as a whole - I'll shaft them for a few hundred more illegit screenings.

    Ooh I do love the arrogance twinned with stupidity! lol

    You think you are so clever making your own tickets, it really isn't that difficult but what you don't realise is that Nelson, Michael or Bill won't actually show up on any official lists no matter how many tickets you dotctor. Do you really think that when they do have checklists, as they do from time, that they only check names!:rotfl:
