Free Cinema Tickets - Discussion thread

Mousie_2

hi,
does anyone know if i need an actual ticket for my 2 year old daughter to see wallE or could hubby & i get in with a print out for 2 tickets and our daughter sit on our knee?

i have found the local vue's number and rang them, because shes over 18 months old she will need her own tickets and theres no more available

My LO is 2 in August & I've never had to pay for her, I was told under 3's are free at all the main cinemas - Odeon, UCI, Vue & Cineworld.

Are you and your hubby going to flip a coin

I watched the Wall-E showing this morning - excellent film.

The short 'Presto' is craking as well, there is a point where everyone should clap - challenge for those going to tomorrow - when the obvious point in 'Presto' comes up (clue - full clapping on screen), start clapping enthusastically a see if you can get the hold cinema to clap with you.

I had to page from the times with me (had to fish it out the bin late last night), I didn't show this page and wasn't asked for it, I just presented my email confirmation. I noticed one other couple had the time but they didn't show it or be asked for it. The majority had just A4 printouts and got in no problem.

If you don't have the sunday paper then if asked you could say you've not brought the times page with you and didn't realise you had to bring it - point out there is nothing in the confirmation emails t&c's to say you need to bring it.

I doubt they'll turn you away as it's a marketing excerise for the cinema chain / disney / the times - you see the film for free and if you like it you'll tell all your mates who may want to then go when officially on release but will have to pay, then does well in the charts so more then go to see, so long as this method of marketing works for them then they'll let these minor abuses of the system go.

He won't feel out of place, today mix at the screening I went to was:-

50% family groups
40% groups of fathers with there bloke mates with a token kid in tow
10% students / indiviuals including me :T


All the kids were well behaved, with only one kid shouting out her friend that she'd missing the best bit whilst on the toilet

Have looked on my email at it states Sunday at 10am for 10.30am. Does this mean that I have to be there by 10am or 10.30. Don't want to be hanging around but don't ant to be late either.

Thank You

If the showings are 10 for 10.30 i would arrive about 9.45 or earlier when i got to the Cardiff screening this morning there was a huge queue luckily we got really good seats but it's better to be earlier than later even if you are waiting around.
