I've known all the details for the Sky HOBBIT red carpet screening for about 3 weeks now, but no matter where I've looked, how I've searched on the Sky site itself there has been no link to the tickets booking page etc., NOT even an "advert" for it.

Similarly I've been aware of the EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS for about 2 weeks (again no "advert") but as yet I'm still to find a "live booking facility" and like The Hobbit would only post it on the Codes Only when it becomes active and LIVE.

As per many other comments regards "not logged in", being "redirected", just "normal" Sky movies details or similar .....

... that IS/WAS the norm

Even when actually logged in with my SkyID it didn't help.
Similarly when I did find the "active link" late last night on an EXTERNAL non-Sky page I also STILL has to RE-REGISTER and provide a "new" email address and memorable place etc
This also would be about the 4th or 5th time I've had to do this in the last 2 years despite my 1st registration about 10 years ago (or whenever it first started) working every time year after year.

As for this link

https://www.media-promotions.com/sky/skytv_ticket_booking/ticket_booking.php

this ONLY works (as far as I am aware) IF you've previously gone via another link (the live active one specifically for this film as I posted on the Codes Only thread) and ACCESSED the web page referenced by the URL containing a string like this.

Some people have said it doesn't work whilst others find it's fine.
Don't know if this is because they are not Sky customers and have not used their SkyId or some other reason.

There is an advert for Exodus on this page (just scroll along) click through and you should be able to re-register. All the previous links now work. Although Hobbit now just sends you to the Exodus page.

Are the sky tickets just for customers still?

Finally cracked it!

On this page: http://www.sky.com/tv/channel/skymovies

I scrolled along the banners at the top until I saw the pic/ad for Exodus, clicked that and it took me to this link: http://www.sky.com/tv/channel/skymovies/article/be-among-the-first-to-see-exodus-gods-and-kings

Had to register again but managed to get two tickets for Exodus, no sign of The Hobbit now though.

Thanks for this link. After having to re-register as I'd forgotten my memorable place the film is not showing anywhere near me!!

The "only" thing with this (above) is that it didn't exist a few hours ago. I've been doing this (and lots of others) several times a day for the best part of 3 weeks.

Sky must have obviously just added it :j

Better late than never?

It seems crazy The Hobbit is not available either, even if all tickets have gone you used to be able to see it on the drop down menu right up to (and sometimes after) the screening time.

Did anyone actually get tickets for The Hobbit?

I can still access THE HOBBIT.

Indeed BOLDEN TYNE & WEAR, BRISTOL, HUNTINGDON & SOUTHAMPTON still have tickets.

Perhaps it's because I've yet to "access" the EXODUS page

What link are you getting to it on?

Well Exodus is now live (sorry, I didn't realise Queenriderbrekke was only giving advance notice, or I would have reported back on the code thread sooner...) so hopefully you manage to get tickets now quoia.

I only just signed up for a 12 month contract again with SKY last Oct, when they suddenly seemed to drop all the free previews.
We didn't get them as much as some, as my cinema is not often listed, but it did factor into my decision to pay out for SKY if we were getting previews.... so I was not best pleased when they stopped them.
I also have a Virgin mobile phone, and they have stopped their free previews as well now, so I have actually had to ..........pay:eek: to see some films.

I did post in the main thread when it went live but my post was deleted for some reason.

Using the "standard"

https://www.media-promotions.com/sky/skytv_ticket_booking/ticket_booking.php

but as I've said I've NOT used the "direct link" for EXODUS
