My friend whose been 10 ten times said you need to get there like 8am and stand in a queue to get the £25 tickets. So thats an option you could consider if you like. Apparently they go very fast.
yeah, once I arrived at around 9am and the other time at around 8am, but no luck. Ok, the second time I estimated that I wouldn't get a ticket based on how many people were queing already, so I just left.

Geez, I didn't realise it gets that busy. My friend wanted us to go on a cold winters day as well!

Hopefully £39.50 will be okay for you then?

Yeah unfortunately you need to get there around 7am, for the box office open at 10am. That's a boring 3 hours. Bring a book is my advice!
Preferred cinemas:
Weekdays: Central London (all West End), West India Quay, Greenwich O2, Vue Islington
Weekends: Greenwich (O2, Odeon, PH), Vue Stratford City, Stratford PH

I sent an email to citydeal to clarify something and they took way past the expected time to respond. They didn't even answer my question but sent a response that said "we'll send you a free ticket" on the day I flew out to Egypt. Came back and in the post I found a nice 3D voucher to watch any film at Cineworld that expires Dec 2011! :D

Except, one problem, I lost it. :(
