  • Thanks Redcar, I followed your link, and the cinemas you quoted were shown - I enterd my details and got the message

    "Thanks! We've received your request to attend the screening.

    If your name is picked, we will post two tickets to you in advance."

    But all the blurb was referring to film Inside Man ! so I don't know if I have asked for tickets to World Trade Centre or Inside man - strange. :confused:
    But I will be grateful for whatever I get !

    Have not used this before but the ones I've highlighted in red in Solac's post aren't on the drop down list to select for me even though it says on the website there are screenings. There are though:

    Southampton
    Brighton
    Leicester
    Wimbledon
    Birmingham
    Cardiff
    Covent Gardern
    Bournemouth

    So don't know if that might mean there are tickets to those places too or if just a mix-up. Might be worth a shot?


    This is a mix-up. For those who know a little HTML, look at the HTML source for the page and you'll see that they mixed up the value of the drop-down with what is displayed. All the listed theatres show up with the correct value but the incorrect city. However, the value that actually gets sent to their server is the correct value if you select the corresponding city (again, look at view source to see what is correct).

    To help those that don't know HTML, look at the text below, where it says value is the real city you're selecting, choose the drop-down that is the text next to that value:

    <option value="Bath">Sheffield</option>
    <option value="Blackpool">Milton Keynes</option>
    <option value="Coventry">Belfast</option>
    <option value="Belfast">Southampton</option>
    <option value="Dudley">Brighton</option>
    <option value="Sheffield">Leicester</option>
    <option value="Glasgow">Glasgow</option>
    <option value="Edinburgh">Wimbledon</option>
    <option value="Greenwich">Birmingham</option>
    <option value="Huddersfield">Hull</option>
    <option value="Hull">Liverpool</option>
    <option value="Kingston">Huddersfield</option>
    <option value="Manchester">Manchester</option>
    <option value="Milton Keynes">Norwich</option>
    <option value="Norwich">Greenwich</option>
    <option value="Richmond">Newcastle</option>
    <option value="Newcastle">Cardiff</option>
    <option value="Swansea">Covent Garden</option>
    <option value="Liverpool">Bournemouth</option>
    <option value="West Thurrock">Edinburgh</option>

    This is quite a mixup as most of the cities are incorrect! I can't imagine everyone getting tickets for the wrong theatres!!

    Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait screenings

    Don't miss the preview screenings of the new Zinédine Zidane movie on September 24 in association with Land Rover

    lead_item.jpg
    Football is undeniably the beautiful game, and now it has become a beautiful film. In 2005, Zinédine Zidane was filmed for the duration of a match between Real Madrid and Villareal. The resulting movie, which received critical acclaim at Cannes, is released on September 29, but you can see it first at one of our previews on September 24. Find out how to get your hands on two tickets in The Knowledge this Saturday



    IF this is the usual offer from the Times

    it's Not quite FREE but is cheaper than buying 2 tickets though.

    In theory you will need the coupon from The Knowledge that is inside a Saturday's copy of the Times (cost £1.20 I think)

    To claim two tickets to a preview, choose your cinema from the list below, then call the booking line. You will be given a reference number. Write that number on the voucher printed in The Knowledge in today's Times and present it at the screening.

    0901 553 0240 (50p/min)

    Calls should last no longer than four minutes. Calls from mobiles and payphones may cost more. Lines close at time & date (depends on the offer)
    or when all tickets have been allocated, whichever is the sooner.

    The venues are always VUE CINEMAS and as far as I am aware are ALWAYS ....

    London:
    Finchley Road
    Fulham, Islington
    Shepherds Bush
    Outside London:
    Bolton
    Bristol Cribbs
    Bury
    Cardiff
    Cheshire Oaks
    Croydon Grants
    Edinburgh Omni
    Leeds Light
    Plymouth
    Portsmouth
    Romford
    York

    Terms and conditions

    Tickets are subject to availability and will be allocated on a first come first served basis via the phone line.
    Readers who successfully claim tickets will need to write their booking code on this voucher and take it along to the cinema on date & time (according to screening)
    No cash alternative.
    No late admittance.
    The cinemas reserve the right to refuse admission.
    In the event of a dispute, the cinema manager’s decision is final.

    Has anyone done this type of deal before? Is the reference number really checked at the door into a system or on a piece of paper, or do they just look at it? It's strange that they make you call a 0900 number for this.

    I tried this recently. You call the number and you are put on to an automated voice which asks you questions of the cinema, your name, address, dob, newspaper reading/buying preferences etc. Be warned that since it is automated, if it doesnt recognise what you say it would take more time asking you to repeat your answer - meaning you are on the phone a lot longer than the 4minutes that they say the average call will last. So you might end up paying for the tickets through the call :0

    When I did this I was given a 6 digit code which I had to write down on the printout and take to the cinema. However, when I showed it to the person at the cinema he hardly glanced at the code making me wonder whether I should have just put 6 numbers on the paper and tried my luck :) But not sure whether this was an isolated case and whether the others have a list of codes against which they check so wouldnt recommend it unless you are extremely brave.

  • Hey, I dunno if I'm allowed to request tickets from people, but if you have any unwanted Devil Wears Prada tickets for Silverlink, Newcaslte on any of the days please please please let me take them off your hands! I have been a fan of the DWP book since its release in 2003 and always hoped there would be a movie. I only just realised that I could look on t'internet for tix. I'll be @ the earliest screening I can get to anyway if I can't get tickets because this just seems like such a FANTASTIC movie! Or should I be saying: Don't go and see it. It will be pants. Give me the tickets instead:rolleyes:

    I just managed to get two tickets to this screening last night.....

  • But all the blurb was referring to film Inside Man ! so I don't know if I have asked for tickets to World Trade Centre or Inside man - strange.
    But I will be grateful for whatever I get !

    I had the Same Page when I applied For Children Of Men Tickets from the Beeb

    Still Got The Tickets though...The Correct ones that is...Prolly just an oversight

    I think if you have been Lucky enough to be selected then you will get the correct tickets

    Inside Man Previews were last May
