Different Sites, Differing Rules

#1 Post by Ms Thrifty » Mon Jun 21, 2010 4:25 pm

Am I the only member struggling to remember the various rules for the many preview sites (e.g. Seefilmfirst, Showfilmfirst, Tellten, Momentum, First4Movies, Sky, Telegraph, Timesplus, etc), particularly how many tickets/locations you may book and what info they require?

I don't know if someone more skilled in IT could produce a brief quick-reference guide but it might be very useful when trying to book tickets for others. For instance, Momentum require an e-mail address, so I assume you can only book one pair of tickets and that those who have booked for others (using today's code) either had multiple e-mail addresses or used their own as they didn't require tickets themselves - or did they have other members' e-mail addresses or what?

I don't know about others but for Momentum tickets today I have Marjoreemajora's email address so I just typed that in to get tickets for her and the confirmation email would go straight to her inbox.

Well, that's what I thought you (and Andrews, for Cortone) might have done, but would it alternatively be possible to use your own e-mail more than once and to forward tickets, do you know?

No you can't but if you get a different momentum code you can. So you could have booked two pairs of tickets using the different codes posted.

SFF also have adopted this policy too and do not allow more than one location per code.

Yes but I guess if you have more than one email address you should be able to book more than one set.
