Just printed out confirmation for Hop tickets and noticed it says "only valid when accompanied by Tesco winner confirmation letter" on the ticket.

Sky have also started to do this recently. We now make sure to go and get our seats before deciding if we want to buy any popcorn!! Been caught out a few times. Got a couple of bags in the cupboard at home now though.

So is Hop open to evryone now do we think? Or will we book tickets and not get in without the Tesco letter?

I cannot get the Hop code to work? if anyone else having the same issue?

Queenriderbrekke

No, I just went to www.showfilmfirst.com and put the code 830933 in and it worked, try7 typing the coded manually instead of copy/paste?

I did a quick Google and apparently the HOP tickets were a Tesco clubcard competition. Can't see cached Google pages as at work but here are the Ts & Cs. Not sure if they clarify anything though!

"Please note: the exclusive screenings will not be open to members of the public, so winners will not be able to buy extra tickets"

The Hop tickets for the code just posted state for Tesco Winners only, on the tickets, which would show it is only for tesco winners. I imagine if it was open to the general public then they'd release tickets without this on.

The best link for the code is... https://www.showfilmfirst.com/pin/830933

I've been to plenty of screenings where I should have had newspaper cutouts & never been asked for anything. I'd risk it if the cinemas were near me...

Winners had 10 days to claim their tickets. The last draw was 8 days ago. I think a number of winners have not come forward! Just my thoughts.

Will we ever stop chat on the codes thread...
