Nope, sorry. How about finding out where the premiere is held and ask them how you can get tickets?

Anyone any idea how I can get my mum and her friend tickets for the Life in a Metro Hindi film premiere at a reasonable price?

If its the proper 'big' premiere then I think ebay might be the only way.

you could also find out which Film/ Marketing company its by and give them a call... maybe say you want to treat a family member for a birthday etc you'd make a donation to charity... if u dont ask u dont get

good luck

Like someone would be stupid enough to put their home address on a site that anyone can access, for jobsworths like you to see. Stop complaining, and mind your own business, how is it directly affecting you exactly?!

It affects me when I turn up at a cinema & I can't get entry because it's full because someone has faked & distributed dodgy tickets....understand now!

the trend over the years is that it will now go quiet for the Summer biggies... hard life having to pay for things .. haha

Likely to have to use the Orange Wednesday's or maybe even use that student card I got.

With regard to the discussion about free previews.... over the years the admin has become appalling - I've experienced this personally in Manchester and it seems at quite a few venues around the country from the feedback on here.

In the early 2000's tickets were 'pickup' from the Cinema and I used to work next to the Manchester screen,,so it was good for me,,but hard for others.

Too many tickets were given out to make up for the 'no shows' and tickets T&C's clearly stated seats were 1st come 1st served...which worked well.

I would sometimes pop in on my lunch and ask the staff what they had and who was promoting it ie the magazine. I then posted it 1st on here and let a close pal in the industry know at firstmovies.com (now moviebeat) who added them on there.

People also seemed to value an actual physical ticket and make the effort to attend...screenings were pretty well attended (suppose it wasnt fair on people who had to especially travel into the city)

the online tickets dont seem bad but I cannot understand the allocations. My personal experience in Manchester since the early days has been ONE screening (before the online tickets) had to turn people away.... a handful were quite full,,,, and of late the screenings have been embarassingly empty ...a waste of time,,effort and electricity and some marketing people should get there @sses kicked.

I'm not answering to anyone making accusations on here...we all have our opinions and people can assume what they like,,,we live in a free world...have your say..

If anyone ever needs any help with free movies give me a shout and I'll try and advise/ help....share the love eh? too much ill feeling in the world

best wishes to you all...peace out

I remember having to always collect my tickets in 2002-2004. Come to think of it, they were all pretty much 90% full when it came to the screenings.


Nowadays, on a typical screening day the screens are about 60-70% full.


For decent films, e.g. 300, Borat and Alpha Dog, the screen in 98% full.
