Wow. Such a load of fuss over nothing. Looks, it may be bad taste to do this, but the person is well within their rights. If this was a Twitter comp, would someone please point me to any T&Cs? Whatever may or may not usually be the case, these Twitter comps never have any such guidelines. As far as I'm concerned if this person can find someone to stump up £200 for a Taylor f**king Lauter premiere, they deserve some kind of award.
102 Different free films seen in 2010 plus 2 repeat viewings and a few tv show screenings... not too shabby. Thanks to everyone for their contributions here.

Most comps do say you can't sell or transfer tickets (hence people having to pretend to be the named person), remember Funthing wasn't allowed her second lot of tickets that she won to inviite extra friends.

personally I know I could reduce my debts with some ebay selling of sff stuff, and its tempting, of course it is. The line of thought would be this - its downright unfair that I have to shell out £3000 a year whilst the other students get a loan, so anything that reduces that disparity seems a good thing. But you, know, there are others like me who need these freebies just so they can go out, and I dont want to deprive them of their only entertainment over the hardest months, so I'm not going to do it, thats how I feel about it right now.

If I develop a cocaine habit, I may change my mind. :sealed:

People even put their boyfriends up for sell on ebay, so in the context of things a few cinema tickets isn't shocking
