Is having a VIP account worth it? I've always been tempted by it.
Yes, wife and I live in London and she got the VIP account and it's been great so far.

If you live in London and like going to the theatre, then it is worth it, IMO.

Indeed - this is what I took out http://www.showfilmfirst.com/VIP/vip.htm

Make sure that you email them a couple of days after the payment is made to ensure VIP is activated. This is the email service and NOT the text service!

Agreed with the above comments: IF you live in/near London and you like going to the theatre it's definitely worth it.

I've only had 1 or 2 cinema offers through VIP, but quite a lot of theatre ones.

Wouldn't it be nice if SFF were to offer tickets to the Download festival or the Sonisphere festival?

First check if you can book tickets as some people have received "invited guest only" messages.

Be quite amazing if they offered tickets to Sonisphere....considering it's been cancelled this year :-p

I'm thinking now of getting the wife and I a tent and sleeping bags to dump in the garage. That way if tickets for any festivals nearer for home come up then we can get out the emergency "festival" kit :)
