    Was anyone else at the Manchester Printworks yesterday when the young lady asked us all to cuddle up and get closer to make room for more people?

    Was she expecting coach loads? I thought they must have had a foyer full outside. There was plenty there but still empty seats.
    Just looking to save a few pennies here and there

    Yeah I was sat at the back and there were plenty of empty seats even before she asked us to move up. there were 4 next to me and 2 in front, and only about 3 more people came in after we'd all moved up! seems an odd thing to do bother asking people to do when there wasn't anyone else waiting to come in.

    hope all the merry mancs and others that were accomodated had a good evening.

    yeah,,, manchester looked full for a change,,,,but its amazing when people all move up.... there was SSSOOOOO much space...

    found the film a little boring.. loud and just trying to make u jump all the time. also they seemed to have saved some money on the soundtrack... one or 2 tracks all the way thru.

    will regard to the full screening (covent g?) the feedback on here over the years is that cinema's do offer free tickets or some gesture of goodwill and as I've mentioned before, in the early days of free screenings it was normal to over allocate and it always said get there early,,1st come 1st served...fair enough to me.

    I thought the soundtrack was great, I loved the fact they brought the song back from the first, it provided a good signpost between the two!! The base in the songs was really good so I liked it!!
