Free Shrek cinema tickets

Kellogs are doing free childs tickets with 3 codes that are printed inside the boxes. Does anyone know if the codes are actually unique (it says they are) or if they can be used by others?

I don't tend to buy kellogs very often (go for own brands except Frosties) so I was hoping to be able to use 2 of the same codes as a friend, unless anyone has some codes they dont need?

Also do you think I could use the free ticket in conjunction with the buy one get one free orange wednesdays? (I need one adult and 2 kids so I thought I may be able to get in by buying only 1 adult ticket!)

Thanks for any info.

    Orange wednesday codes arent valid with any other offers :(

    Are the kellogs codes a free ticket when an adult purchases a ticket?

    8. You can't use this promotion in conjunction with any other offer.

    This offer is for any film - not just Shrek!

    All the info is on the Kellogg site here:

    http://www.kelloggs.co.uk/cinema/

    This is some text cut and pasted here about the codes:

    "You’ll find 1 unique code inside each special pack of Kellogg’s. Just collect and key in 3 codes from 3 special packs† to redeem your Kellogg’s FREE kid's cinema ticket.

    Plus you can redeem as many FREE kid's cinema tickets as you like!

    To claim your free ticket, just key your 3 unique codes in here. Each code is only valid for one use.
    "

    So it looks like you can get as many tickets as you like, but need to have 3 cereal packets per ticket as codes are unique and can be only used once.

    My top tip is to have a little rifle through the cardboard recycling containers in the supermarket carparks - they are often overflowing anyway.

    I did this a couple of years ago when Kelloggs was doing the free books from Amazon with unique codes - exactly like this.

    If you don't fancy rifling the rubbish - then just ask around neighbours or even on Freecycyle

    As Jap200 said, the offer is for any child film and valid until the end of Aug 2008.
    I applied for 2 tickets and have recieved mine in the post, they come through quite quickly.

  • If you need codes, there have been some spare ones available on the thread called "Kelloggs Codes please" in the past.

    You can find these codes on Kelloggs Cereal and Milk Bars and Fruit Winders too. Both are on special offer at Tesco until 26 June - 3 boxes for £3, which is less than the cost of a child's cinema ticket.

    Just be sure to buy the boxes that say "FREE child's cinema ticket" and not the word search ones as the word search ones don't have the codes.

    Also I think you have to request your tickets by the end of June 2007 although you can use them until August 2008.

    They arrive quite quickly and there's no problem about getting and using multiple tickets. I took five kids to see Pirates of the Caribbean using these vouchers.

    Is there any way to upgrade these child tickets to adult tickets? I love Shrek too and I have no kids!

    Maybe anti-ageing solution? :rolleyes: My baby too small for Shrek, and I'm too old for free tickets, boo :o
    Anyway, got 1 spare code - 1st PM will get it. Please, write a message here that you're pm'ing me please, that others know it's gone :o

    Anyone got any codes kicking about at the moment they don't need. Kids threw one of our boxes away before I could use the codes (amazing really as they NEVER usually tidy anything away, lol)

    Thanks.
