Winning film premiere tickets

I know it's a small chance but I'm dying to attend a red carpet film premiere (not just a first screening, but the full shebang) and it's been a dream for a long time. Willing to travel anywhere in the UK, though most are in Leicester Sq.

Anyone know any legit websites where I could apply to competitions or ballots? I know there aren't many tickets out there, but I'm willing to enter and cross my fingers. When I googled all I found were expired giveaways and scam sites selling you tickets.

    Those tickets are always tied directly to promoting the film and are very tightly controlled, it is rare for them to be offered in any kind of competition and even rarer for that to be a competition open to the general public (rather than say employees of a cinema chain or the publisher/distributor). It would also be unlikely you would be allowed to walk down the red carpet or go anywhere near the big stars, most of the people enter via a normal entrance after security and pass checks and are segregated, though things can be more relaxed at the after party. 

    On the odd occasion that a pair of tickets might be offered in a competition open to the general public then it will be from the publisher or distributor (eg. Disney, Marvel, Warner Bros, Sony etc.) and would likely be advertised on their social media, although it could be tied to a retail promotion, however if you were following their social media it would almost certainly be advertised on there.

    The best prize I ever won was for 2 days at the Cannes Film Festival including a walk down the Red carpet and 2 nights in the best Hotel In Cannes the Carlton, it was financed by Stella Artois Including Flights from your local airport.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus
