You may need to do some more research on what the word 'politely' means.

Thank you for your tremendous and really helpful contribution as usual.
... in the mean time, why don't you do something actually useful for a change.

And I'm the one who's being pulled up for being impolite.

BELIEVE



https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2009606

Certificate: PG
Screening Date: Wednesday 23rd July
Screening Time: 18:00 for 18:30

Location: Greenwich - The O2


Manchester, 1984 – 11-year-old Georgie Gallagher (Jack Smith) is a gifted footballer and captain of a team of unruly talents. As they prepare for the Manchester Junior Football Cup, fates collide to bring them a new coach - just when they need it most. What Georgie and his team mates don't know is that their elderly coach is none other than the legendary Manchester United Manager Sir Matt Busby!

Having survived the Munich plane crash, Sir Matt comes out of retirement to transform the boys into a dream team. But all Georgie's mum (Natascha McElhone) can dream of is her son passing the entrance exam for Lancashire Grammar School, and giving up his football.

Believe is a funny and touching family film about a man who inspired generations of dreamers, a boy who goes for glory and the beautiful game that brought them together. For the first time ever, Sky Movies is premiering a film on the same day as its theatrical release. Watch Believe on Sky Movies from 25 July.

More than Film - SHOWS, CONCERTS, EVENTS

Nine years old now, ShowFilmFirst has grown into an amazing club of people, who enjoy our offers on not just film but also theatre, concerts, comedy shows and other weird and wonderful events. We love receiving your feedback and comments like: ‘I would like to see more of that’ or ‘It’s not something I would have chosen to see had I not received an SFF ticket’ - these are what motivate us to expand our offering.

However, keeping a hold over the targeting of our audience is one of the biggest challenges currently facing ShowFilmFirst when trying to expand our offers. Recently, we were disappointed to have revoked our ticket allocation for a very high profile event. This could affect future offers from that show’s promoter and this was down to the fact that a very small handful of people insisted on sharing their codes publicly on social networks or special offer sites.

Please don’t do it. It’s not providing a service to other film/theatre/music fans, it’s just putting us all in danger of losing out on ticket allocations from promoters.

We get tickets because the producers want your feedback on how the show/concert/event played (please don’t forget to give us your feedback!)

We know the overwhelming majority of our members understand this, and if you do see someone sharing across the web, then please either let us know or else give them a quiet nudge, ask why they are doing so, and point out that they are putting everybody’s enjoyment at risk, including their own. After all, if you received an invite to a party or wedding, say, you wouldn’t then splash an open invite across the web, would you? We’re more than happy for you to tell your family and like-minded friends about us (in fact, we rather hope you do!), but please ask them to sign-up so that we can send invites directly to them.

So, should we continue to try and build our offering? Can we grow our community together? Do you enjoy receiving a variety of ticket offers and not just for film previews, and is it worth pursuing?

What do you think is the way forward as regards discouraging people from sharing codes across the web?

Please let us know your thoughts.

The irony of posting this on one of the very sites they hate. :rotfl::rotfl:

See, I didn't even get this email because they just don't send emails to everyone who is signed up. It's all well and good saying to get your friends and family to join so they can send them codes directly, but they rarely send them.

I have only ever once received an email containing a code before it was shared on here, and that was one of the rare times I even received an email.

Then you're clearly not in the genre of people they want at their movies. just sayin'

Here's an idea. If they only want people they've invited to attend, then why not only allow them to reserve tickets? Not exactly rocket science.

But I'm assuming they need additional (non-invited) guests, otherwise their mailing list may soon diminish.

Can you get tickets from sky now, I thought they had stopped it but a friend said they were doing it again. I can't find the link on sky, just wondered if I was looking in the wrong place. Thanks.

And another idea.
When they do issue invitations for "invited guests only" recognise when one of those invited applies rather than reject them with the "invited guests only!" response.
