I walked into Vue the other day and saw Over the Garden hedge, no pre booking just saw the dates on the website under 'preview' and voila.

If the cinema has advanced previews (such as for Over the Hedge, or Pirates 2 which is out on a Friday but some cinemas show it on the Thursday) its a case of just ringing their booking line.

However, if you mean a premiere which is usually a few days before the film is on national release, these are invitation only. The distributor hires Leicester Square, and the show effectively has nothing to do with the cinema.

I'm a member of Linky , it's excellent, I've seen quite a few films (like Thank you for Smoking) completely FOC about a month before it came out

Shhh!!! Tickets through them go too quickly as it is! Don't get other people signing up and competing with me as to who checks their e-mail first! :eek:

Saw Just My Luck at the weekend for free - wouldn't have seen it otherwise, but it was an ok film.

I wanted to see thank you for smoking the other day, but someone had taken all the tickets.

PS: I have heard the site kitten caboodle mentions gives your mum rabies - I take the risk so you don't have to.

They advertised it in Heat, that's why it went so quickly.

Yesterday I booked tickets for Pirates 2 at our local Cineworld for Thursday 6th July with the official release date being Friday 7th.
I remember seeing the first Spiderman film 3 days early - we just turned up at the cinema and there it was listed and just walked in.
Dukes of Hazzard we just happened to be going to the cinema, were there the day before official release date and it was listed as showing.

I know Cineworld say that they give "Unlimited" card holders priority over that kind of thing, so I expect they invite you usually.
