Does anyone else find the Virgin Media screening page has conflicting information.

The main screen under Morning Glory says come back on 25th Jan for tickets but on the next page coming soon it says come back Jan 21st.

Possibly just a case of checking a couple of times a day.

No Belfast last time fingers crossed this time. Though got to see Morning Glory with Heat and it was brilliant

I wonder if you could post the link to the vigin media screening page? I have googled it but still cannot find the link. Thanks!

Maybe they read this forum !!!

I hopeso, as I have a question.

How do the companies giving the free previews decide which cinemas to use?

I loved the coke cola promotion recently, and use middlesbrough cineworld regularly. And have signed up for the fighter, which I am really looking forward to this week at teesside.

I just wonder how the companies running the promotions can justify using metro centre cinema and newcastle cinema, when they are in 10 miles of each other yet the southern part of the north east gets very little, which means the tickets get really quickly.

At the end of they day I understand that it is up to them, but each of the coke cola films was very full, where as I can imagine having two so close might be a little less ful.

I don't know, just trying to understand why us teessiders are so left out in these promotions

Cos Geordies are better :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

And it's not often tickets come up for both Metro Centre and Newcstle as they're different Cinemas. MC is Odeon, and Newc is Empire

And tho Silverlink and MC come up at the same time now and again, I've been to each and they've always been quite busy

I have always wondered this. Down here in Exeter we get so few free screenings that I almost think that darlin' Devon has been forgotten. If I still lived in Oldham, I would have the choice of about 5 cinemas within easy reach.

I also live in Exeter, and completely agree with you! It's really frustrating.

Same here Ben , the first time I tried it, it said there were no tickets available for this screening. The next time that message had disappeared but it just wouldn't let me choose a cinema or more than 1 ticket. Straaange!
