    I booked a few days ago for I Daniel Blake Sunday, not a fan of the early screenings but so few previews at my local cinema (this is the 2nd this year, know they're less common now overall but still rare at local) that I got tickets.

    Now another screening has come up I've happily cancelled Sunday and booked evening tickets for 3/10/16 instead :D

    Late in answering (!) but, as I said, followed the original instructions in The Telegraph but the event was not listed so didn't get as far as needing to enter the password.

    However did get tickets for the same showing via different offer.

    The details were posted before the tickets were actually available which is why you were unable to find the password.

    What ever you do don't miss it at any cost as it is one of the best film I've seen so far. Will not give anything away.. Pulls you in to their emotional bandwagon and you will not help it but cry at times!!!

    Strange how different people are, I thought it was the worst film I'd seen in years. My husband actually left after 30mins. I thought the acting was very poor, in fact like they had used real people and not actors and as for the ending, that was ridiculous, so unrealistic. Each to their own, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    I saw the film earlier and having seen the trailer didn't expect it to be so powerful. Very thought out script takes you through a journey which brings back home the truth how the DWP treat us when we can't find any work. But this story will take you through a journey which no one expected us to to be taken through. Just be prepared I wasn't. There were claps by member audience to show appreciation to the producer I guess.

    Just one thing one must learn from this is not to look at others as you wouldn't want your self to be looked at or judged, in case you end up on the dole.

    Saw this film today and we thought it was excellent and as always Ken Roach 'hits the nail right on the head'.
    Although not a 'feel good factor' film it is very realistic and shows what some less fortunate than ourselves have to go through. Any of us could end up in this system.
    Would thoroughly recommend it.

    Not really about when it was posted here.
    I began following the instructions as given in the Telegraph itself but the film screening was not available on the website - so no means of booking what the DT was already promoting in print!

    The fact is that nothing should be posted on codes only without full information (codes, passwords etc) and they are regularly posted incomplete. Papers often advertise the information before the films go live.
    That's why the info should not have been posted by a non subscriber.
