Hi again, maddisonred :wave: - how did you apply for the tickets? Was it through www.screenbookings.com ?

hi hun.yes it was through screen bookings.i only went on there today and there was only 7 left and i kept trying to put in my password(a password i use for most things)and realising i needed the password from the paper which i found out from this great forum,by which time there was 3 tickets left which luckily i got last 2.i have had them email and was just gonna print that out.

If you've got the email, it should say, 'Your booking number is xxxxxx. Please print off this page and bring it to the cinema on the day of the screening.' If it does, you'll honestly be fine to print off the email and take it with you as your tickets (as long as you're there early enough, there are still seats left, the screening isn't cancelled, Acts of God etc., etc. ). You might want to by-pass the box office queue and go straight to the usher outside the screen you need - sometimes the person at the box office seems confused by the print-out.

Hope to help. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Freebie Cinema Screenings!

I'm hopping mad:mad: . Have just been turned away from the Orange Juno screening as it was full - over half an hour before it was due to start. Very annoying when you have had to arrange a babysitter and paid for parking etc etc. The staff were not very helpful at all either. Has this happened to anyone else tonight?

oof thats really unlucky lurleene - i'll have to remember that when i go on the 30th
Perhaps its because the free tickets were available to too many people?

Lurleene

Yeah, I guess so. Obviously way too many people today.

Just returned from the orange screening of Juno at Southend. People were queuing from just after 5pm for tickets.
Great film.
Thanks to everyone who posts the codes etc.

Sweeney Todd is a good film. A bit graphic in parts, but if you can get past that it's pretty decent.

I just returned from Sweeney Todd and I thought it was brilliant. Although it was gory, it was also very funny, and I thought, as good as Johnny Depp was, for me Helena Bonham Carter stole the show. Hands down. I found she had more depth than Johnny Depp who just kept making the same face throughout the film. Her singing was also quite acceptable. Sacha Baron Cohen as Signor Pirelli, the other barber, was also very funny. 8 out of 10, as I really enjoyed myself. I didn't like the Cineworld Shaftesbury Avenue very much though, the seats were a bit uncomfy and the rows weren't steep enough to enable people to see over other people's heads. And whatever you do, avoid the last row - for some unknown reason it has much less legspace than the other rows. The cinema was very full, although most people arrived within the last 5 minutes before the film was going to start.

I don't understand - what was different from this Orange screening to a let's say See Film First screening? How can they give out too many tickets and why did people have to queue for tickets from 5pm? Didn't they text or email tickets beforehand? I must say I have never had that happen before, usually when we turn up half an hour before, we are the first ones. It's got to be bad organisation on Orange's part.
