  • Since the Iron Man post I've only seen this:
    This service is currently unavailable
    Sorry, we're experiencing a high volume of traffic on Sky Rewards at the moment.

    Quite frustrated to be honest. A sky customer wanting to take advantage of the rewards, but they can't even handle the traffic...!!!

    Tempted to complain.

    Try clicking on a different film, say Chimpanzee, then when you get to the booking page select Iron Man 3 instead, if I click on Iron Man 3 I get the traffic message, if I click on either of the others I can get to the booking page, so worth a try for you:)

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me the venue for the Edinburgh showing on Tuesday 16th April, for the Olympus Has Fallen screening?
    Is it Edinburgh Cineworld, or Vue Omni?
    Thanks in advance!

    It is Vue Omni.

    Oh thanks very much,
    You've helped me from making a fool of myself at wrong venue!
    :D

    The tickets do have the address and details of the cinema on them. So why would you make a fool of yourself at the wrong venue?

    Because by the time I got round to entering the code the Edinburgh showing was fully booked, but Carlisle was avaliable so I booked for Carlisle to get a template for the ticket, then I use an old Edinburgh ticket and a bit of photoshop and hey presto I have an Edinburgh ticket.
    But it was so long ago I forgot the correct location for Edinburgh.
    I do this because not everyone uses their booked tickets.

    I have reported you and I will also be ringing the cinema to advise them to keep an eye out for forged tickets.

    BTW the tickets have bar codes on so when SFF realise what you have done, there is a good chance your account will be suspended.

    Thanks to admitting you fake tickets though. So kind of you .

    I can't believe someone actually admitted that on here, it's bad enough to do it :eek:
