Identification for Free screenings

#1 Post by whitchurchbles » Tue Jul 07, 2009 11:03 am

Hi -

can anyone confirm what ID is needed to see a free film. The ticket says 'bring ID' but i don't have a passport or a drivers licence.

would a bank card be ok?

many thanks

You won't need ID - they've wanted it at only a few screenings out of thousands

But yes, in the unlikely event that they want ID, anything will do I'm sure.

They asked for photo ID almost everywhere for Bruno, whether they were overrun or not. But it's extremely rare. Even at Star Trek a simple bank card was enough.

Yeah anything will do because my friend has used his Student Oyster Card as ID and they were fine with it

I have still yet to be ID-ed! (Well for lottery I have a few times....)
