That's why I think this way of doing a comp is wrong. Apparently the tickets are guaranteed for the winners but the moment such a code gets out they aren't anymore as anyone will book and take a winner's tickets away.

Well surely it wouldn't be too hard to do a namechecker system to block bookings for names used that don't correspond with the win list

Easiest thing for the Metro to have done would had been to ask SFF instead of releasing a code for anyone and their dog to apply for is to have one guest list with all winners names at the venue. Since this competition is unlike others and has one showing of this film at one venue.

Also Falkirk, Dunfermline and Stirling but these are rarely used for free previews.

Exactly. But they are too naive to think that the code might be shared.

If you've got a ticket filmcat, you've got a ticket. Not all winners will have redeemed theirs because the comp came out before the oodles of codes for this at a better time. 9pm for a film start is a bit late for a lot of people.

9pm's not too bad, I suppose you can have a drink and a meal after work and then watch the film.
