I go to films when they are free not 2 for 1. Or I use a voucher.

Totally agree! Vue is offering student rates for all on some nights. (Forget which!) Must be cheaper to do that than to go into the expensive agreement that Orange/EE had.

Yes, these are the best offers. Thanks to all who help us get these free tickets. Much appreciated! :-)

I'm sorry about this too - although I only got a chance to use it a few times. Does anyone know if EE/Orange is considering a different movies promotion?

From what I heard, it cost them a fortune. Far more than they were expecting so I have a feeling they will leave it alone for now. Next year is a big year for films anyway, so box office figures should be decent enough even without EE/Orange Wednesday.

Which is fine when you live in London and get far more free films than the rest of the country.

I got an email from Odeon cinemas today stating the end of EE but that they will be revealing news of a NEW NATIONAL OFFER in the new year...

I call O2 making it a similar offer as part of their O2 priority app as it goes with their 'be more dog' thing.

Suppose the blatent positive for this is the fact we won't see Kevin Bacon's ugly mug before every. single. film anymore.
Shadowhunters: Looking better in black than the widows of our enemies since 1234.
