Woolworths.co.uk are offering Mumsnetters family tickets (for four people) to a special, red-carpet showing of Ice Age 3 in 3D this Saturday morning (4 July).

The London showing is full but there are still tickets for Aberdeen, Birmingham, Brighton, Cardiff, Castelford, Didsbury, Edinburgh, Hull, Ipswich, Milton Keynes, Nottingham and Sheffield.

If you'd like one, please email your full name, address and preferred cinema to adam@rubberrepublic.com. But get your skates on: tickets are limited and will be offered on a strictly first-come, first-served basis.

We went yesterday.
Saw Tranformers.
Paid full price.
Bluddy good film though!

We do often go to "Movies for Juniors" so hopefully will be taking advantage of some freebieness in future. The last one we went to was Alvin And The Chipmunks, 3 weeks ago. I had a good rest!!

Sorry RA, I didn't, I decided that it was safer to book tickets for our local kids club cinema than risk going to that one and not being able to get in - which is a shame as the films you had on were better!

I would be vey interested if you changed the setup but I think it is a bit of a non-starter as it stands!

So....did anyone get to the cinema yesterday? Hope you got in all OK. I think it'd be a good idea to try and have more of a guarantee other than getting their early. Will pass on, thanks!

The last two times I have tried to go to the kids club on Sat mornings we haven't been able to get in!!!

Queues we running way outside the cinema (although only a small cinema), 20 minutes before the film was due to start shock

It seems like a bit of a something and nothing to me too MOM, more soundbytes than anything substantial.

SO the ticket thing is just a voucher that i would take with me to my nearest cinema which is very very full on saturday mornings so i would present it there - no tickets available, go to next nearest (another 2 buses) and there are none available there.

Why is there no guarantee?

Such a faff around! Sounds like there will never be any available so that everyone pays £1 each tbh hmm

Thank you Goober, I will have a look at the times! (am feeling this is a lot of work though to save £$ grin

)

Sat mornings DO get very busy. Go to Cineworld site for times as all 3 films start at a different time. 10, 10.10, or 10.15.
If the offer isn't honoured KCIA, the tickets are £1 each, you can buy them.

I do understand that you sell tickets too, I think that is a great thing. Perhaps it could be done where a certain %age per showing, per film, per cinema are held back to be allocated to VIF and any not claimed by VIF by the midnight before the showing are released back for general sale?

The form on the site would just need 2 extra selection boxes for selecting the Cinema and the Film.

Thank you for letting me know the time smile

I think that's very useful feedback and will pass it on. A system based on availability seems important to me rather than possibility for all. Cineworld run the Woolworths kids club to the general public charging £1 to all non-VIFs so that makes things a bit more complicated with guaranteees.

However, you should have no problem getting in but to get a feel of how comfortable it will be nobody knows until they've been to one

- Sat mornings showings are at 10AM.
