Half of me wants people to stop posting 'VENUE FULL' messages, because the availability always changes so they're just wrong. The other half quite likes the fact that these messages mean people stop checking that venue so I can sometimes get tickets at the last minute!

I'm unsubscribing from all these free cinema ticket threads. I'd rather pay than read through all this pap. !!!!!!, we're adults, as long as it's not offensive, let us post. We can decide what to read and not to read.

actually saying somewhere is full in a thread is useful saves you time actually going to the site putting in the code only to then find its full.unless of course you wanna try anyway. i havent got time to do all that when i should be busy at work!!!!

But if you have to read 27 unnecessary posts to find this information it would have saved you time to have gone to the site yourself.
Additionally, you first of all have to trust the person posting the information isn't making it up, or has accidentally got it wrong. Furthermore sometimes "full" doesn't mean forever. I usually check that my venue of choice is full for my own piece of mind, and I periodically try again just to check that it hasn't changed. Guess what ? Sometimes it has and I get a ticket !!!!

Can I discuss - discussions in the offers only thread? Didn't think so.
Or will the PC AngelUndercover go off on one again, taking 13 posts to says what cinemas were full and could have been said in 1 is childish - but you know that.
Please will one of the 'gods' delete this with all the drivel from above?

Would have been done by 13 individuals if they only checked the venue of their home town and found it not have any vacancies !

that's the point !

Actually, as I'm sure others may tell you, despite the venues showing up as full right now, quite often the same code becomes valid again (as people either contact seefilmfirst letting them know that they can't make it to the screening for whatever reason OR seefilmfirst decides to allocate more tickets for a certain code).

Well seeing as the people who were posting probably thought that they were being helpful you could have just posted this simple explanation in the first place rather than being an @ss about it. That way you would have saved numerous people's time in reading all your drivel when there arnt even any current offers.

Well if 13 individual cinema full posts by the same person is "ridiculous" and "unhelpful" to the general presentation and usefulness of the thread as a whole, then cinema full posts by 13 different individuals is also just as unhelpful and ridiculous as it amounts to exactly the same. And 13 is quite a small number in this instance, I've known screenings with as many as 40+ venues on offer.

In addition those members that have subscribed to the thread and chosen to "receive email notifications of new posts" (since when a genuine preview offer is added the ticket allocation can be gone in minutes so they need to know FAST) each and every one of these posts will have sent them an email. They don't know that the new post they've been emailed about is someone saying "thanks - got some" or "bath is full" or "where is the Timbuktu Hippodrome?" until they've checked the thread ! These subscribed members want an email ONLY when there is a posting of A NEW OFFER - that's why it is (or was) THE TICKET OFFERS ONLY (no discussion) thread

Not long ago there was a "free cinema tickets thread" where all free offers could be grouped together. Within a couple of weeks there were HUNDREDS of posts and yet the actual number of offers could be counted on one hand !

To me that's why it does matter !
