Free Cinema Tickets - Discussion thread

I agree, there might only have been 1 ticket available. It drives me bonkers when people post to say "OOH, I got a ticket!".

Sorry but disagree about "working codes" (agree with Beate) since you're likely to get several posts a day about them, especially if there are 4 or 5 codes EACH for 4 or 5 films yet to be screened. If just ONE individual is successful in finding a single cinema on each code for a each film posts "it's working again" you'd end up with 20+ posts a day.

As I said a week ago.



If I try a code (AND it includes a local cinema) BUT they have "all gone", I jot the SFF code on a Post-It note (usually with film name and screening date) and stick it to the edge of my screen.
This reminds me to try, try and try again until I either get a ticket or the screening has come and gone.
I've got tickets on the afternoon of a screening - just 3 or 4 hours before I've been sitting in my cinema seat and the lights are being dimmed.

Sometimes my Post-It note has 6 or 7 codes for 3 or 4 different films as new codes/previews are added.
Seems the best way to jog your memory that you're still in with a chance if only you check AGAIN and it actually reminds you to do so every time you sit in front of your PC.
Works EXCEPTIONALLY WELL for ME, whereas I have NEVER been successful if I've responded to someone elses "the code nnnnnn is working again". Just because they got a ticket, NO IT ISN'T !!!

I see your point as well that is why I said "perhaps" I personally tend to try at the time and then look back over the thread at a later date, rather than post it notes if you saw my pc desk you would see the last thing it needs is more paper:rotfl: I think its just about finding what works for you. But as I said my man bug-bear is "I gotta ticket for...., does anyone know if such & such cinema has tickets... why don't they have screenings in ...." This is completely irrelevant on the codes thread and therefore shouldn't be there at least with the re-posting of codes people may be thinking their being helpful (whether you consider it helpful is up to the individual).

Hi teaonshirt & welcome, you can ask/discuss on here to your hearts content but def not on the codes thread- it can drive you crazy if you have subscribed to the thread as we get an alert for every post.
