    It's about £2.99 IIRC for the ticket or £3.50 with the popcorn/sweets/drink & promotional toy - HTH

    It costs £2.50 for just a ticket ;)
    The "deal" with fruit shoot,skittles and sml bag of popcorn ( NOT the tubs of) is £4.50 !!
    we bring our own snacks ,mucho cheaper ;) and healthier than a fruit shoot and skittles :eek:

    I never bring the kids to see a new release anymore :rotfl:
    wait a few months then see it for a fiver for a family of 4 :beer: ;)

    Off to see Ice age 2 this weekend ,although we did see it when it was first out ,before i heard about the cheapy Kids showings :mad: :rolleyes: :rotfl:
  • Can I discuss 'discussions in the tickets only' thread?
    Didn't think so, maybe we should take it elsewhere. Will delete as soon as you do :)
    Sorry to bother everyone with a reply to your subscription again - gets annoying doesn't it!

    Manchester had loads of spare seats.... backs up my (and many others) thoughts that a few paintshop'd tickets aint a bad thing...I'll continue doing it!

    quite agree Mancunian. Seefilmfirst or the cinema themselves (can't see it happening) will have to introduce some kind of ID thing if they want it stopped it's so easy to do. :cool: and I think a lot of people are doing it now.

    I just always make sure I am there early so I'm not left outside if lot's of people with fake tickets want in!! :p

    Theyll probably be a Cinema Offers, dont put any offers in here thread soon.

    Btw the Covent Garden Hot Fuzz showing is full.
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    I cannot view the first page of the original free cinema tickets threas so I cannot clean it up. This seems to happen when a thread has too many deleted posts in it. As a board guide that has cleans the thread up this cannot happen when I cannot access the thread.

    Sorry Heather, and I know you're just trying to do your job, but your message comes across as basically saying 'well, it was inconvenient for me to have to view all the deleted posts, so i decided to start a new thread, even though this is inconvenient for hundreds of other people.' I do understand that this isn't what you meant, but it really is irritating to have a new thread so soon, especially since you didn't even give us any advanced warning that you would switch, so we could switch our subscription etc.

    Thanks though for the work you put in.

    I may be wrong but when heather says she cannot view the first page I think she means the most recent page ie for heather the thread becomes so long and encumbered by deleted posts that she no longer has access to the most recent posts and so it becomes necessary to start a new thread - is that right?

    The simple solution is to only post direct offers in the direct offers thread - if the vast number of superfluous postings and subsequent deletions in that thread render it beyond the limitations of the board to cope we only have ourselves to blame if a new thread becomes a requirement.

    Oh - so by first page she means last page?!

    o_t_e, you will soon give up trying to get people to understand the simple, simple, simple rule of not posting on that thread unless they have to. Trying to make this happen is harder than blood from a stone. Actually, the problem is, it's not that people don't understand, it's that they don't care. Everyone thinks that their particular question or comment or witticism is the exception to the rule... after all, what difference does one make, right?

    Can someone clarify is this site for free cinema tickets, or competitions to win tickets?
    I post this here and not in the discussion thread because i'd like a clear answer from someone on high, NOT a discussion.


    EDIT: i'd like to clarify i didn't know what a moderator was/that there was such a thing or how to contact them, so posted my query here.
    I didn't want to bother normal people like me with discussion and debate, just have someone high up who decides the rule, tell me what the rule was.

    I have recevied alot of abusive e-mails, swearing and calling me names, demanding i do various things.
    I asked individuals to stop pm-ing after several abusive e-mails, they didn't stop and the content got worse, because of the agression and abuse I now delete without reading all my private messages. So if you are the people sending these your waisting your time.

    I will of course delete this soon but as it was a post here that generated the bullying & abuse it felt right to respond here.

    Sorry to everyone not effected by this for taking up space.
    many thanks
