    Well it says that the Gateshead screening is full but thats a bit odd as Heat isn't even out in the shops yet!

    Why is it 'odd' - you've just tried, haven't you? What makes you think that 500 other people didn't try at 8am? :p
  • I've said it before and I'll say it again.

    Particularly with seefilmfirst tickets, very often the code is reactivated closer to the date of the screening (as more seats are released/people who can't make it let seefilmfirst know/whatever the reason) so you should try the code again.

    It is thus a good idea to TRY the code even if someone has already posted that your local venue is full. Its worth a shot, isn't it?

    As an example - tickets for Vacancy (Total Film Magazine offer) were all gone within a short space of time after the initial post containing the code [of course, 3 or 4 posts containing the same code appeared on the other thread - nothing new there:rolleyes: - but thats another story]. Several people then commented that various venues were full/oh I didnt get tickets/if you have tickets and dont want them please can I have them/if you want photoshopped tickets give me a call/etc (again, on the wrong thread - I'm gonna harp on about this but cmon people??!).

    If anyone had bothered to try, the following morning tickets were available once more using the code (I know because I got a pair:j , having missed out the first time). A few hours later all venues were once again full. The same thing happened the next day (my colleague managed to get four tickets).

    Please Don't Post That A Venue Is Full on the other thread (wrong place anyway) because you may just be preventing someone else from trying the code for themselves and managing to get a ticket.

    It just seems so simple to me and I can't fathom why people insist on ignoring the guidelines set out in the inital posts.

    OK, I said my bit....bring on the abuse....:rotfl:

    There may have been more tickets available if someone hadn't posted it on HOTUKDEALS this morning.

    No-one said these tickets were only for MSEers so we have to accept that there are a lot of sites out there doing the same thing and there are only a limited number of tickets available.

    I expect that sometimes tickets never go to the people who actually buy the publications, they probably don't know this and other sites exist.

    If photoshoppers are stealing the tickets of those that enter codes, then we are stealing the tickets of people who buy the mags. I don't think anyone is going to stop what they are doing, but none of us can claim the high moral ground here.

  • I don't think I took the moral high ground regarding photoshopped tickets in my last post, do you?:rolleyes:

    And if you do, perhaps you should read it again?
