I don't think there were any for the BAFTA screenings last year but it might depend on locations

I'm now getting paranoid, having booked tickets with no paper... does anyone remember how fasdtidious they were last year about newspapers? I know cineworld tend not to bother and I expect this will be the case here too...

I collected my tickets tonight at the desk and no mention of paper. Don't think there's anything to worry about! Just checked tickets and no mention of DM or newspaper or proof.

It was weird collecting 'real' tickets from the machine, I almost felt like a p*ying customer! :p

no need to feel paranoid, well not Cineworld Glasgow. Collected all my tickets at the desk and surprised to find three sets of Argo before realising I had problems booking online for Argo so try and try again on my laptop. Will donate to friends.

Well this screening of Brave did nothing to bring my stress levels down.
OH miraculously got off at the right stop, so that was a success. They didn't ask for the paper at all (which I had predicted) so that was good.

But we stood in front of screen 3, which is the one on my printouts, for about half an hour without anything happening, with no one around I knew, and just when they came out of the screen, an usher approached and told us that the Brave screening is actually in screen 7. So we hotfooted it two levels up and there was cinefila1! "Our" seats were still empty, otherwise I would have thrown a tantrum.

It wasn't very full at all but people came in till at least 7pm which annoyed me no end, and just as the La Luna short had finished, a mother comes in with a buggy, takes a baby out and proceeds to the very last row where she sits down with the girl not too far from us, and of course the little bleeder talks so the Mum talks back until I am ready to lynch them.

When we left I went back to the till and enquired about Argo tomorrow and apparently it's also in screen 7 even though all my tickets say screen 3. Did anyone else have the same problem?

Then I felt for my phone in my coat pocket and discovered it had GONE. I raced back in a panic shouting to OH "Ring my phone!" but before he even got there I had already ran into the damn screen 7 where an usher cleaning up took one look at my face, reached in his pocket and handed my phone over. PHEW.

I am trying to relax now in front of Room 101 - I'd like to put the entire Cineworld WIQ in it please.

Oh, that doesn't sound like a fun evening. Did you enjoy the film at all, or did the small child ruin it for you?

Hope tomorrow's screening is better - it's a 15, so at least you won't have babies in that one! o/
