Free Cinema Tickets - Discussion only thread

jp_jenkins

How childish can everyone get? Jeez

One for discussion - one for tickets
There's a lot of peeps who've got a lot to say and will, if given the chance, post it in the tickets only thread. Keep it as it is.

Easy peasy now someone sort this out please. :beer:

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 QUOTE]

I am one of these people, and I don't think most people really mind opening an email and clicking on a link to find it's not a free ticket. It takes seconds, that's all. Of course I can only speak for myself.

This site is full off people chit chatting away about allsorts, being friendly and helpful, and I really don't see why the powers that be are trying to quash friendly, helpful discussion.

I see quoia's point. As far as I can see AngelUndercover has simply gone back and forth between this thread and the SeeFilmFirst website (or whatever) looking for ticket avialbility for each individual cinema. Why not just visit it once and then make one post? Upping that post count, maybe? :rolleyes:

This does not mean that the same notification by individual posters is a waste of time - it's just plain unnecessary... Why? Well, when I see new tickets up for grabs, I just go straight to the website and try my luck. I think it is safe to say that no one reads through all the "Cardiff full", "Bath full" posts first before trying for themselves.

Why can't this post be like the Pigsback one, where all the info is in the first few posts or so of the thread and the rest (inc. discussion) is jus posted at the end...?

Glad we made a new thread, too! Much clearer to read....!?!

........blimey, sheffield is full

so you expect one person to check ALL the sites?

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!!!!

exactly.
but just so you know, we arent all idoits here (though some have been acting like it lately) we know that people cancel tickets but its nice to know that the general allocation has gone and if people still choose to try for tickets then fair enough.

personally i'd rathr know a screening is full or not as i'm sure many on here would be.


some people on here are just waaaaay too anal and i guess thats never changed

Did war break out in the cinema ticket thread last night?

Chill pill anyone? its free

Your mums would make you all play nice. Or crack your heads together.

I was guilty of posting that Lowry was full for Peter Pan, the mod moved it and I learned not to do that again, I'll put it in this thread next time.

Free cinema tickets are great, its good to share, and its nice to be nice.

Happy Valentines day X X X

I accidentally posted this in the tickets thread first, easy mistake now

Ok - I thought in light of the recent discussion, I'll add my two-pennies worth.

No I don't think angelundercover nor quoia are childish in making the point known. I've never had a problem understanding the clear distinction between the offers-only and discussion-only threads but unfortunately, as this discussion has highlighted, others don't wish to follow the 'guidelines'.

As both MSErs have pointed out, the 'so and so is full' posts do not benefit anyone however, I expect these posters are either a) trying to be genuinely helpful, or b) knowingly cluttering up the thread with posts they know others deem irritating. My point being?...I don't think you'll ever get to a point where each and every MSEr will comprehend and adhere to the guidelines for two separate threats. Therefore, I think Madjohn's suggestion is a good one - although it would require someone to continually update the first post in the thread.

And finally...someone asked earlier about whether this thread should contain cinema tickets competition offers...why not?...every one I've entered, I've received a ticket. Everyone who has posted offers for cinema tickets - THANK YOU :T

so tell me where the sense is in coming onto a forum, reading a thread and wanting to add a reply, however relavent, and then finding out that oh you cant cos some uppity users have decided that you have to search through the rest of the forum to find another, specific thread, that you actually ARE allowed to post in?!

can no on else see how petty and pathetic this is?

there is no need for multiple threads on the same subject (i'v seen this with other topics not just the cinema one) and i for one think its a bit silly and it actually deters me away from the site cos i never know what thread is the most current.

Does anyone have free tickets to ' A guide to recognising your saints' in Manchester for Tuesday 22nd February ?? I'd be mighty grateful ??
