AH! I am sorted for Drive! There is as members' free preview at Picturehouses on Sunday 18th September!
One ticket per Member available on a first come first served basis from Friday 9 September at 2.00 from the Box Office or on 0871 902 5732. That's the Greenwich Picturehouse number.

I can't believe I missed the second code for the Drive screening... I was at work and decided to check my email. Missed the new code being released by about 4 hours. No tickets left again. I don't know how I'm ever going to get tickets to anything, without a phone that lets me check my email.. and I'm not into those fancy phones. I'm just bummed cause I really want to be at this Drive screening. :(

I entered with my mobile number, my husband's and my married daughter's but we all got rejected. But my friend has a Virgin TV etc. and she got tickets - so they may well have given preference to those with their TV,broadband package. We all entered on the Friday so don't know how they chose who gets tickets.
