Just returned two tickets to Up tonight at Brighton

Hi. Quick question (I'm sorry if this has been answered a million times before - I have looked but didn't find anything quickly and there is so much to read through). I'm going to my first SeeFilmFirst screening tonight and have printed off my ticket. When I get there do I need to take the printout to the ticket desk or just show it where you would usually show your tickets if you bought them from the desk? Thanks.

No don't take them to the ticket desk as the screenings are run by outside companies and aren't usually on there system, i usually ask one of the ushers near the entrance and they can point you to the right cinema. There is usually a seperate queue for the free screenings and i would advise you to get there at least half an hour early just to get some good seats as quite a crowd tends to build up otherwise.

That's just what I was after. Thanks lovinglifeinwales.

Hi guys,

what are the chances of getting ID'd at the SeeFilmFirst screenings as I can no longer go but my sister would like to take my place.

thanks,

This is usually the case but there are exceptions. At Greenwich Picturehouse for instance you have to queue up at the box office and exchange your bit of paper for a 'proper' ticket. So ask an usher but also double check that you don't need to go to the box office.

Just send an e-mail to [EMAIL="changeofname@seefilmfirst.com"]changeofname@seefilmfirst.com[/EMAIL] and tell them that you can't go to the screening and give your sister's name to them.

You will recieve an automated e-mail reply that tells the manager of the cinema that the name on the ticket is not the name of the person attending.

Print this out for your sister to take with her along with the ticket though it is probably best (to avoid confusion to those who are unfamiliar with how it works) not to hand the e-mail over unless they are checking IDs

Does any one knew something more about the An Education movie from The Times? I am confused, because you will need the ticket, the newspaper and the card time+. So many? The time+ is 50 pounds, so will not be freebies anymore.
I am glade to listen your opinions! Thanks.

Just to apologise for posting my reply to the Mercedes Benz tickets in the Codes Only post.

I don't, however, appreciate the terse remarks from some users of this board.

I just noticed that too, I don't suppose for one moment the cinemas will be checking or indeed know about it, they barely look for the culture page as it is, anyway I'm betting on a first time requirement a blag will be sufficient.
