It's just a tactic from the newspaper to make you b*y the paper.

The codes that are printed in magazines never tell you to bring the page from the magazine with you.

The staff at Odeon Covent Garden never care. I have no worries about that.
102 Different free films seen in 2010 plus 2 repeat viewings and a few tv show screenings... not too shabby. Thanks to everyone for their contributions here.

I've never been asked but am always wary if I've got tickets for someone else.

Had to bring that up, eh?

I don't think there will be any such level of scrutiny here.

Whitelys can be a pain sometimes. I wouldn't care for myself but when there are kids involved, its hard if you cant get in without a page. I knew I should have gotten up and gone off for a paper
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks
