    Have tried to book tickets for 3.10 to Yuma from screen bookings using the code in post 81 on the free cinema tickets forum but when I enter my details all I then get is a blank screen. Is this happening to anyone else? There are still lots of tickets available for the cinema I have requested.

    that happened to me loads then I realised it wasn't compatible with firefox or at least my version of it... so if your using firefox then use internet explorer it works fine for me!

    In my opinion, if you miss out on the free previews but really want to see the film, you can just go to the cinema on the day, buy a ticket for something else, and walk into the preview screening (if you find out which screen it's playing on).
  • Equally, if you get tickets to see a film that doesn't appeal, you can use the freebie ticket (in most cinemas) to get in to see a film you do want to see... Either way the cinema I'm sure gets some perk for hosting a freebie, and you can always stock up on the popcorn and coke to boost their income if that makes you feel better.

    Haven't actually done this ever, but have often felt like giving it a go.

    Does that really work?

    It'll work, yeah. The only time you ever get checked at any cinema I go to is the first ticket collector just after the ticket booth - you're then free to walk into any of the films.
  • Does anyone know if the DayWatch screening on the 1st will be a dubbed version or subtitled??

    Sorry to have to disagree, but in my experience I usually have my ticket checked at least twice - the final time just outside the door of the 'screen' the preview was been showing in.
    Once I was mistakenly directed to the wrong screen, and as I came out after a couple of minutes, having realised it wasn't the film I was expecting, a member of staff was coming in to find me.
    Also on occasion I have been asked to show them my mobile switched off, and even to hand my mobile in....... so 'security' for some screenings can be pretty tight.

    wow! do you have a dishonest face:rotfl: At our cinema they barely even look at the printouts..i am sure I could printout a ticket for any cinema and they would not notice!
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)
