    Anyone who is having problems with the ticket confirmation for the Wall-E film from The Times, it could be worth checking your spam folder. I found my confirmation email in there.

    I think it's terrible selling them on ebay if they were ordinary tickets that were purchased yourself then fine but people like this are spoiling it for the rest of us who really want to go and see this film because eventually the ticket distributors will catch on and stop the free screenings, more a case of not wall-e but wally.

    I suppose the only way around this is for proof of id to be shown that correspondences with the name on the confirmation. A pain I know but it maybe would weddle out the "s***s" that muck it up for everyone else.

    Unfortunately, there is always someone who thinks of their own financial gain rather than the bigger picture!

    There are still 263 tickets left for that screening! Is it possible to tell the bidder that? Or alert ebay? This is just not on.

    oh i see,please can i join the club? how do you know how many films are left to go etc?x
    Yes sure, you're number 37. If you know how many free films you saw this year, you deduct that amount from 104, the rest is left to go. And don't worry if you won't get there, most of us won't...

    Is it already happening or is it only projection?:confused:
    How can they sell a FREE ticket?:confused:
    :A
    I think that maybe you are going too fast, unless there is actual proof, there is not much you can do but then again by concentrating so much emotion on the fact that the tickets will be put on ebay, they might appear.

    Thanks to those who help us to win !

    I thought it a bit strange that someone in bognor would book tickets in london- bit of a trek if you ask me!!!!
