Am I missing something as the email doesn't mention anything other than the newspaper page?

Oh I just went into the site and booked some more tickets and they have changed it to include the Times Plus card - but the original ones didn't have that so surely they can't insist on it???? :confused:

they obviously haven't updated the booking template then yet and only added it to the booking page so far - its on the right hand side when you go to book tix

Yes the new email is different as it says
'PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR TIMES+ MEMBERSHIP CARD WITH YOU TO THE CINEMA ALONG WITH THIS BOOKING RESERVATION'
and yesterday's one says
'PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST BRING A COPY OF THIS BOOKING RESERVATION ALONG WITH THE RELEVANT PAGE FROM THE NEWSPAPER. IF YOU DO NOT BRING BOTH YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED'

I did it as an experiment to check the difference and will be returning today's tickets but my point is - can they insist on the card if you take yesterday's email to the cinema? What do you think?

Are we sure that there will even be a 'relevant page from the newspaper' to take along to the cinema?

How completely annoying! Luckily I have seen the film already but if not I would be pretty upset as they are showing it in my favourite cinema!

I saw this on Monday, only just got the chance to right my review :)
I loved it, i think i pretty much smiled/laughed most of the way through it.
I enjoyed the father character, the giggly school friends, and davids friend (played by dominic cooper) he is yummy lol.
I would totally watch this again and again i reckon, OH would hate it and if her went would have probably tore his eyes out, however, i wish i was wooed initially with clubs, paris trips and gifts at the age of 16! :) 7.5/10

I saw it too on Monday and really enjoyed it. Thanks again to a_person for the tix.

I have got my daughter some of the Times tickets so that is why I am concerned about them.......

Checked the paper and its definitely times plus only - it says you need to bring the timeplus card on the page as well

you no longer need the page from the paper either, just the timesplus card and email so i suspect cinemas will have been told this as the system has changed from culture plus and they will have been shown these new cards as they get a free popcorn/drink

if everyones a timeplus member and gets free popcorn or a drink then the queues for them will be massive and films will start late!
