Does anyone know where to find any offers on VUE cinemas? I'm not an orange customer unfortunately...Just moved to London and going to the cinema is extortionate!

Have you checked the Vue website? I don't use Vue but I know they put their offers on site.
Good luck

I have no codes I'm afraid but you could just get yourself an orange payg sim and use it just for Orange Weds. If your phone is locked then even a cheap payg phone would pay itself back pretty quickly, a friends son paid £20 for an Orange PAYG inc £10 credit.

You would have to use the sim or phone every six months or so to make sure that Orange doesn't delete your credit.

i second this idea for all non orange customers - you can get a sim card for free and get an old old old unlocked phone on ebay for pennies. you dont even have to remember to text every 6 months as i believe the text to orange for the 2-4-1 offers counts

There are plenty of London codes if you stick around, quite a few are London only too, it's one of the most popular. Not necessarily Vue but you can always catch a tube right?

I've got the bit between my teeth today.
Before posting a code, please check to see if it has already been posted. The 'latest' one for Worlds Greatest Dad is yet another duplicate.

If people didn't post all the superfluous chat, the thread wouldn't be so congested and it would be easier to see if the code has been posted previously.

Can we use some common sense please people!

I think the reason so many people get so upset by chat/returned tickets is that they access the notifications from the their phone or work etc, so its not always easy to log-in, I know at work its difficult to keep logging in I can't stay logged in like I do at home, but if I am unable to log in that means no more notifications.

Therefore, I could miss the next notification which is a genuine code, rather than a returned tickets which don't often become available straightaway anyway.

If people are really desperate for tickets, I am sure they will be continuing to try the code & will probably be looking on this thread too anyway. It's still no reason to be rude to anyone though, polite pm and link to here is all thats needed. If people don't thank it, it can also be deleted by the OP.

Anyway, SFF ShowFF........I think you have forgotten about my cinemas........I haven't been to a film since August!!!! :rotfl:

rainey,

ive notcied the cinemas are abit out of the way from me too.....
does anyone know if they ever show in alot of cinemas with local ones included or are they just the main/bigger ones like manchester etc?

hmmmmmm what can we do to get people to post the returned tickets in her instead.....

i know that it will be classed as chat...but how about one post in thew code thread in big red letters saying codes only...
all sold out and returned ticket messages to be posted in discussion thread??

i know its one post of chat but maybe it will notify enough people for them to understand??

just let me know and i can edit my post (if its still there) to let everyone know xxxx

It wouldn't if they only paid say £2.00 on average for their texts - some people might think £2 was worth it (although for some of the freebies I've seen, 5p might be too much :eek:)

But if there is lots of chat and they end up paying £10.00 - then yes, they might as well have bought their ticket.

Also some people are time limited on their computer at work, I could only go on at breaks so that was 15 mins and a lunch half hour. My manager was kind enough to allow me to break the 15 mins up but if I went on the computer 7 times looking for codes and it's all chat - that's my break (and my chance of a code) gone as my screen was overlooked by my manager.

Of course now I work somewhere where I can't go on the internet at all

That is apart from the normal disappointment of seeing there's a new post and then clicking on it and finding it's just chat

However, people who don't usually use the 'code only' thread are not really going to appreciate these things which is why I think it would be good to send a polite message to them explaining this and perhaps linking to these posts rather than a public berating which then spawns more chat.
