  • Oooo i got my first set of free tickets to see 'the holiday' for tomorrow!! But on the ticket it says "please arrive early to avoid disappointment as ticket does not guarantee entry" - :eek: Has anyone actually turned up to one of these screenings and been turned away?

    Sorry to be annoying but does anyone have any spare tickets for the Holiday at Leeds/Bradford or Kirkstall?
  • Did anyone apply for BBC Film 2006 tickets for tonight's showing of Stranger than Fiction and not receive them? I applied for them as soon as they were mentioned on the programme, and then posted the link on here, but never received them! They'll probably turn up tomorrow:rolleyes2
  • It seems all the Manchester ones are full! :confused:

    I got tickets for the Stranger than Fiction and went to watch it in Cardiff. Quite strange....but still a good film!

    :cry: Due to traffic issues,We showed up at 6.20pm for the holiday screening in Brighton and was told it was full! So we went all that way for nothing!

    It has never happened to me before, usually the preview screenings are half empty. So we went shopping instead. On the downside, all the other preview tickets for next week are fully booked now. So a warning for those with preview tickets.. get there early!

  • Ahh got back from the manchester showing of 'the holiday' - my first free cinema trip :) Worth going to - even from a male perspective - quite enjoyed it infact :o

    Answering my earlier question about getting turned away if your late a little bit - at this screening we wouldnt of had any problems getting in, the guards we even encouraging people to move up so late people can get in!!

    Had exactly the same problem, delays on the train, got their at 6.25 and couldn't get in. Ended up going for dinner instead, not very moneysaving!!

    It did annoy me that they put what they obviously knew would be a popular screening (due to number of tickets handed out) in the smallest screen they have. Often they put the busier screenings in one of the larger screens.
