My Virgin sim card has never had credit on it and allows me to get tickets, it let me down on two previous times saying account not recognised, but it sorted itself out this time and let me get tickets:T

Terms state that phone must be used and within a certain about of time regularly

Had my sim card for over a year now and it has never been used/topped up (although obviously I registered it) and it just let me get tickets today so maybe they don't read their own t+c's:)

No cinemas near me on their list , which out of a choice of 4 local cinemas, is a bit weak!

None near me either, and I have 6 chain cinemas within the city. I tweeted them and they said "we try to visit different towns each time but it depends on which cinemas have screens available. Maybe next month. :-)"

95% of the sky screenings are local, but I think the last Virgin screening I went to was Drive!!

I'm just bitter because I want to see Snow White

I'm rather disappointed that in the last few weeks I have managed to get about six sets of tickets for DD at Uni - but out of all these films, only one is being previewed in my area.
I have 3 chain cinemas, but for some reason none have listed much recently.
Whenever I do manage to get tickets, the screenings are absolutely jam-packed, so it cannot be due to lack of interest that they are not being selected.
Fingers crossed things improve soon as I am actually having to pay to go to the cinema these days :eek:

p.s on the recent "feedback" questionnaires - I have noticed them adding questions such as "how many times do you go to the cinema apart from these preview screenings?"...............;)
Presume there is a whole host of us who are not "paying customers"

Morning all

I have just returned 2 tickets for 'what to expect' for Leicester Odeons showing tonight at 6.30.

Hope that helps someone

I think i've paid for the cinema maybe twice in the past two years - total rip off. tho thru work i can get odeon tickets for £5 which aint too bad

ahhh just home from what should have been preview of what to expect when expecting in Belfast to be told that it had been cancelled. received an email from showfilmfirst at 6.30 when film was to start to say that they couldn't get a print but the cinema might offer an alternative.

I am sure that they knew at by least lunch time that they wouldn't be showing it such a waste of time

I was supposed to be seeing What To Expect When You're Expecting tonight at Cineworld in Bristol, but ended up seeing 10 minutes of All In Good Time - then a blank screen for 5 minutes, then being told there was an issue/technical problem with the projection so they would be showing Safe instead - or offering a free ticket. As I have already seen Safe, I came home with my free ticket.

Bit of a shame really!

Ironically, this is the first time I've not had an e-mail from SFF asking for feedback - ironic?

We did manage to see WTEWYE

Not a bad movie, some very funny bits. I'm sure the shop assistant has to be related to Matt Lucas!

And Cheryl Cole?! !!!!!!! haha
