That is when I applied to and I got rejected. What I think its that you have to apply as soon as it opens.

it's supposed to be a draw... I don't quite understand the debate here... you have 3 days to apply; at the end of the 3 days, all the names are put together and 100 or so are picked at random no matter when the application was made...

I agree. I applied really late in the day, as I forgot all about it, until I got home from a night out. And I got tickets.

yea, true about popcorn!

I applied for myself for local cinema and for a friend for another location. I used to have a third virgin mobile which is not active currently but I used for screenings lately... Virgin now de-registered it! So I couldn't apply 3rd time...
Next day after the draw closed and well before the results I learnt that I'm busy on this evening and cannot attend...

But with the wicked twist! :twisted: I now have tickets for myself, which I cannot use and for my friend I have Sorry from Virgin. I so wish it was the other way round! :roll:

I had free popcorn with No Strings Attached in London! Other screenings I attended locally also always! with free popcorn! o/

Only missed Rango with Virgin and Transformers, but I remember reading here that there was free popcorn!
