Free Cinema Tickets - Discussion only thread

wannabedebtfree_2

Exeter was pretty empty, I would say less than 25% full, I don't know how many claimed tickets and then didn't turn up, I know of 3 tickets that weren't used, last time I tell anyone of a freebie!!

Anybody else turned up today to see Surfs up - only to be told the film hadn't turned up !!?
Pretty disgusted with Odeon. No notice to tell people who turned up early - as the tickets told us to. Stood queuing for half an hour - having dragged myself and the kids out of bed early on Sunday morning. 10.30 and we were finally told the film hadn't arrived. The duty manager hadn't noticed apparently until 5 minutes before they were due to show the film :mad:

Someone suggested they put on another film instead - such as Shrek, but he refused.
Dozens of very annoyed parents and disappointed children.

First time this has ever happened to me, I hope it is the last.
Not pleased

Was this at leicester? because the same happened to us in Leicester( and we went there from Derby:mad: )

Did they not even offer you free tickets, heard this happen before - and people complained and they got tickets to see any film any time. Maybe someone else who actually compained can comment. Worth writing a letter, even though the tickets are free, you still had to make the effort to get there !

This has happened to me before, I emailed [EMAIL="help@seefilmfirst.com"]help@seefilmfirst.com[/EMAIL] explaining my disappointment & the inconvenience caused & they sent me 4 free tickets to be used at any Odeon for any film. Worth a try!

I've signed up to a couple of these sites but I've never been invited to any screenings???
How long does it take to get sent an email?

Went to pick knocked up tickets from cineworld in Bradford today and no-one knew anything about it but got the manager to sign the print out of the webpage to allow entry...
