Free Cinema Tickets - Discussion thread

_gl

Looking at the May list has reminded me, why don't I ever get emails from the companies I'm signed up with anymore? The last 6 or so films I've seen were codes from here, except one that I got direct (from Show or Seefilm, I forget). When I first signed up I got quite a few but then they stopped ... ?

(not caught in my spam filters either).

I can count on one hand with 2 missing fingers the number of films I've seen when the codes have been sent to my inbox! If it wasn't for the forum thread I wouldn't get to see any! Although it hasn't helped this time with my unhealthy obsession in getting a ticket to the Scott Pilgrim movie next week *grumble grumble*

Aaah if we knew the answer to that lol
To be fair I do receive quite a few emails from showff/SFF but usually after others have posted the code/info. I did receive details of change of screening from showff in early hours of morn but I wasn't able to copy and paste here as it was in html and my fone didn't like it.

The daft thing was the code they quoted had been found and posted hours b4hand.
Some people in London seem to receive more regular emails than us in the suburbs.

Yeah i sometimes find the codes is 'leaked' before the official email. not that i mind, if it wasnt for the leaks i wouldnt have seen half the movies i have!

even if not, paying £1 for 2 or more free tickets this time and the chance of more perks later on isnt a bad deal

very good point! i was actually thinking, no way i am going to sign up to read the news for £1. but if we look at it your way, it is actually quite a good deal (that is only if you get the tickets of course...)

I have now signed up but can't find the free ticket offer in the times or times+. The link on the code site doesn't work either

I must be a bit coz I still can't find the offer.

If I log in to the time (both) before or after clicking on the link, it just takes me to the times film section. And I can't see anywhere on that page about The Switch or 'Free Preview'.

I've tried searching, in the times, sunday times, & time+ sections, and still can't find it.
