Free Cinema Tickets - Discussion thread

Thanks Rainey

Makes no odds to me as I'm usually at a computer, and have inclusive internet on the phone if I needed to use it on the go.

I've got tickets for Unstoppable at Bolton, so I'm going to have a look for trailers/reviews.

Hello again.

This isn't a dig, it's a genuine question which has always puzzled me. WHy is i that when someone posts a code, without locations on, someone else will then post a list of locations for that code? Isn't that as irritating (and expensive for those who pay to log on) as duplicates? Surely if youve logged on for the first post (just the code) you'll have rushed to check the locations yourself already and paid, on;y to get another notification which gives you the locations which you've already rushed to check?

I only did it this morning as the link in the original post actually took you to a different film instead of the one the poster said it was for

Unstoppable and Let Me In coming to newcastle??? Please

I've started PM'ing the OP with the cinema listing and asking them to put it in their post, but normally someone posts the locations before the OP gets round to it

It wasn't directed at you, Ben, honest - I've wondered for a while.

Ah, you're from Newcastle (durrr - geordie_ben). I'll have to read your posts with an accent now - I'm a sucker for a geordie accent (might mean I agree with you a bit more

I've thought that too sometimes but when my computer was out of action and I was reliant on my phone, I found it annoying because the scroll facility on ShowFF didn't work so I could only see the first three or four locations. So the list of cinemas can be handy.

The funniest (said with tongue firmly planted in cheek) is when there has been one code for a film and you find it takes on a life of its own, there can be around five posts for the one code. It starts off with a new member who can't post links, posting name of film, date, code and the name of issuing agency e.g. Showff. The next person posts the link, the third person posts an unformatted list of cinemas, the fourth posts a list of cinemas that can be read easily and the fifth posts a direct link which includes the pin. That will be followed up later that day or maybe the next by someone reposting the list of cinemas with an update telling us which cinemas still have tickets! I have prayed that there won't be a second code for that film just in case we get yet another six posts for the second code!

BTW gb and I realise this is on the wrong thread but you mentioning Newcastle reminded me. I completed the feedback for the show last night and it asked for comments on this new 'freebie'. I thanked them for doing something outside of London and asked if they would consider that people in other areas and regions would also love the opportunity to see a free concert or show and asked if they would extend this service to Liverpool and surrounding area, Newcastle/Sunderland and the N. East region and the Leeds/York area. So keep your fingers crossed that they take notice and agree with me.;)

ShowFF must have released more tickets for Let Me In, they have justed posted on their Twitter & FB, same code as already posted. Aberdeen, York, Stratford & Exeter.

True, I noticed they were in (I think) they were in Pompadour in Single Father (the Caledonian Hotel's restaurant - am I right?). I've had the view from Debenhams - much cheaper. I wish we were closer to Edinburgh, it's just too far for a day out, or even one night away so it means making a weekend of it which can get expensive.

I've never been to Aberdeen, must try harder to get further up.

Unless the restaurant takes Tesco Clubcard vouchers, then no chance me setting foot in it - lol. Looked nice enough, but a bit too posh for my liking.

The hotel does, because it's a Hilton (I think!).

I knew which one it was because I'm reading the final Rebus book at the moment, and it figured in there - the baddies/gangsters could afford to go in

There will be trouble wifie (read as a less posh way of saying miss or missy ) if you haven't included Aberdeen on the list. Don't put Edinburgh - they get the views and should be grateful with that alone - lol.

Apart from the odd one or two coupon hold ups, my life is free of crime and such like - lol. So, rules out such posh places for me.
