Although johns was incorrect to post, I don't think it's such a big issue on this occasion. Going by johns previous post, he has proved to be a valuable member time and time again posting codes and alerting members who have missed out on tickets that these are available again and it's lovely to see someone taking active participation on the board - there are many on here since 2009 who have posted shit all but johns has taken a more active approach which is very commendable. He made an error on this occasion and perhaps, he fails to recognise what went wrong but as it's his first time, surely we can overlook it especially since he contributes with things we all benefit from (and equally I am sure he benefits from the board too). I don't recall johns chatting on the board at any other time (unlike some posters who then deny it and think they're doing the world a favourjohns wrote: Sorry you missed out but I did try to inform people that tickets were availalbe before the 18th of May, which may not have been clear to some people who read this thread or the Free Film post.
). However, on this occasion though, johns, Beate is 100% right that you had posted something that was already up and pointed that booking was already open so yours became a dupe post. Beate is very vigilant to not allow anything on the board that is not available for booking - she definitely would not delete your post without a reason. Everybody makes mistakes and for you it was a first time for posting incorrectly on the board (as far as I can recall) and there is nothing wrong with that as long as you acknowledge and know not to do it again. I appreciate you were trying to be helpful in ensuring people don't miss out and maybe it was just the case you hadn't seen the text and only thought you saw a repeat of Locky's post. As I've said, you've made many great and valuable posts so nobody really cares if you make a mistake once in a blue moon.
If you are unhappy, I suggest you contact Virgin Movies First and state that tickets were available BEFORE the advertised time and as such you missed out and would like 2 sent to you for your preferred location as you had intended to check for tickets on the advertised time and not before that. They are generally very helpful and I am sure you will manage to get tickets for it, if you ask.suel3288 wrote:Virgin Media for Snow White and The Huntsman booking now open
