Edit: The small print says the ticket will be valid at any Cineworld, so I'll give it a punt.
Thanks.

    On their site it says
    all MyCityDeal customers will be able to purchase a voucher that will enable them to view ANY film showing at ANY Cineworld cinema in the UK – INCLUDING 3D SHOWINGS!!

    where did you read that it is only available at the ones you listed?

    The web site defaults to your local city, but this seems to be for regionalised deals. You can select any city to buy a Cineworld ticket, as the ticket is valid at any cinema. Just pick a random city until they are all sold out.

    It defaulted to Reading for me, which was sold out, so I assumed I'd missed out, then saw that it was only 101 sold, which seemed a bit low for an MSE email offer! That's when I realised you could change city without worrying about travel distance!

    I bought two tickets. You can use the same card for each transaction, but do need 2 separate email addresses for each person going along.

    I wanted 2 for Reading - but says sold out.
    It does say only 101 sold but how do you buy - NO BUY NOW to click on.
    Any ideas please
    Thank you

    Click on one of the other cities and buy from there. All that will happen is you will be signed up to mycity for the other city. The T&Cs say the ticket you get for £1 is valid in all the cineword cinemas.

    Thanks for this one - a great saving :money:.

    I too found my nearest city was sold out - but I've also opted for another city and just hope enough people get on board to make it worthwhile.

    Anyone who hasn't booked yet - try Birmingham ;):D:T.

    I used Firefox but didn't encounter any problems - thankfully;).
    Some people hear voices, some see invisible people. Others have no imagination whatsoever :D
