Exactly and more often than not when you are a competition winner you get stuck in the 1st row at a giant sceening room or even in a separate cinema to the "actual" premiere.

lol, not really, not everyone is that keen on SWATH? (or maybe they haven't read the Metro yet? or they are queuing at the wrong cinema?)

because filmcat said in the beginning she/he saw people queuing already at Empire and they probably wouldn't have left their spot to get a Metro.

For me it's not about the "premiere experience". I make an effort to enter comps for movies that don't have free screenings or for which the premiere is before the free screening. That way I don't have to use a voucher to see the film (or p*y 8O ).

I've also never experienced getting shitty front row seats myself *knocks on wood* and the free drink/snack + often the introduction to the film by the cast are nice bonuses :D

One might run off to grab a handful of Metros?

They had started gathering at Leicester Square when I left Top Cat, down by the Ticket Booth area of the Square.

I think its going to be a really pretty premiere, I saw green grass carpet waiting to be laid down also loads of ferns. The premiere for STardust was fantastic, like a fairly woodland, with trees and sparkly lights :P

Oh nice! It's a shame that by the time I get off work it's so late already that it'll be crowded with people so I wouldn't be able to see what it looks like.

Well if they are showing at both Empire and Odeon Leicester Sq, I am pretty sure those 100 Metro tickets will be at Empire. There's only about 15 people queueing at the moment and they have a security.

The people who do queue up or enter obviously are going to say it's worth it.

I think there's a good chance if you turn up at 10:00 today at Haymarket you will get tickets. Hope this helps some fmukers.
