    This is a polite question, why are you so hung up about this rule? It isn't as though you personally have any say in how the whole site works. I am completely baffled as to why you take it to heart. An explanation is welcomed.

    i dont want to get e.mail alerts only to find its from people pleading for tickets... its a waste of my time.. thats why the rule is there in the first place... to make life easier for everyone. and to give everyone the chance of getting tickets and stop people taking more than their fair share and giving them out to those they prefer. plus, by giving out their e.mail addresses they unwittingly leave their pc open to hacking...:eek: so by sticking to the simple rule that requesting or offering tickets is against the rules... lots of crap is sorted straight away....and unessesary e.mail alerts cut.. im sure i cant be the only one that gets fed up with these unessesary e.mails. if you want to complain about the rule then lorweld suggests you e.mail at [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL] :money::D maybe you need to have it explained to you by someone else?? :)

    Got 4 tickets for the Last Airbender for Manchester but after reading the horrific reviews from Critics and the General Public, I'm gonna give this one a miss.

    The first 6 pages (not bothered going beyond that) are seriously bashing this film as the worst piece of crap ever. Usually I'd go because it's free but I am 99.9999999% sure I will regret wasting 2 hours of my life on it.

    It was a polite question which you answered politely until that last sentence, which was uncalled for.

    Right, so you're saying it's a film for grannies? It's up there with Gone with the wind????:eek:
