In the back row but in the middle bit not the one to the right hand side. I am short too but you are looking up so those back row seats in the middle honestly are very good! And we had no disturbance at our end, although two of the females to my right laughed a lot when it wasn't really that funny but I can forgive that. Our row was completely full btw.
Oh :( Wish I sat there. I got in at 6.05pm when my friend arrived (I was there at 5.30 and they let people in at 5.45pm after saying people weren't allowed in until 6pm!!!) and it was about 20% full on the right side, so I quickly took the first nice seats I found! It was quite comfortable! Except the guy who sat next to me and half his legs were in my seat playing footsie with me! :( Or is it legsie. :rolleyes:

Lol...I know thats why I hung around for 10-15 mins hoping the manager would offer something, but nothing was offered apart from refund for popcorn, coke that were b*ght already! Normally they do offer an alternative film...but hey I am not going to complain, its a free film afterall! I just feel sorry for all the people who had a large popcorn and coke in their hands, but had nothing to watch!

Superhero, you should have asked to watch another film!!! Especially now you know that there were free seats available! If I had your number, I would text you in to say "there are still odd ones here and there. Quick, get in!!! "

Tarantino on form :)
My biggest complaint with the film was that the tense scenes got a little bit repetitive and although great, they were never as good as the first Chapter - superb, Sergio Leone-inspired, and it sent my heart thumping like a maniac... When it cut to that aerial view, I could've died and gone to cinephile heaven...!
It's a very interesting film to think about too - as in Fight Club and A Clockwork Orange I think the film's portrayal of violence is meant to appeal to the inner borderline-fascist, the kind that cheers on the action hero in films like Die Hard. Or in this film, if you were glad Landa didn't "get away with it"! Aldo Raine may hate the Nazis, and for all the cultural differences (three fingers) and Jews-are-rats-Germans-are-hawks schtick, there's little difference between them. The Nazi film, consisting of little more than a man shooting lots of people, and the audience's reaction was Tarantino's way of holding up the mirror at us. Bravo.
This may not be his masterpiece, but it sure lived up to the hype. 8/10 o/
Top 50 Poster!

Yeah there were loads of codes for the film, but you have to be suspicious when you see the large groups. As mentioned before, there's nothing stopping people doing 4-5 copies of the same ticket

I understand your point, if I don't think it will be pretty full, I tend to go in later too! Most of the time, my friends talk soooooooooooooooo much, the 30 minutes go so quick that I don't really mind. Then I go early for Central London ones only!

On another note, it was so funny how that SS guy (Landa was it?) was screwed over and the sayings they had between them! Bingo!!!!

Hopefully they'll send you a pair of free tickets so you can go watch it at your own pleasure! I think I read someone else complained to SFF on MSE and they were sent tickets as a result. I think it was for Hangover. So hopefully the response should be the same for you. Remember to mention that there were free slots in there and you were still refused entry.

I'm going to submit my thing and write that there were empty seats available here and there....

No there isn't and it is such a shame that people would abuse the system like that. If people carry on like that I'm sure SFF will probably have to act on it which won't work in anyone's favour as swapping tickets will then become difficult (some cinemas don't accept the name change email for some bizzare reason!). :(
