Re: People selling tix on ebay etc
I wonder whether someone is silly enough to p*rchase these tickets? It also looks like this is not the first time as only certain things were highlighted in red.

I have seen some go for £1.04, an idiot b*ght up for over £10 I think. People do b*y it but I don't think they are aware that these are free screenings that are widely available.

Re: People selling tix on ebay etc
They probably do, but hey sometimes the tickets go so quickly, maybe people just want to b*y it to get a ticket.
I know for me, I like to go to these previews because firstly it is a preview and before it's on general release, so in a way, these are money can't b*y tickets and hence "worth" even more.
For me the fact that it is free is very very nice, but secondary to the fact that it's a preview.

Re: People selling tix on ebay etc
Well I guess if you want a "free" film, you can wait until it's on TV...

Re: People selling tix on ebay etc
There were no bids on this but the seller has re-listed it along with tickets for the same film at 3 other cinemas!

Re: People selling tix on ebay etc
Shes got them on sale for 5 different cinemas, Ive reported her to ebay before but they dont seem to be bothered as they are getting the listing fees off of her.
Her name is FRANCES SMITH, it might be worth reporting her to SFF and maybe they would block her email.
Eventually these people will spoil it for the rest of us, because more will jump on the bandwagon and start selling tickets

Re: People selling tix on ebay etc
Hi all,
Thought I'd just chip in my two penneth worth.
Yes I'm a newbie, and from time to time you might find me logging on from various IP addresses (work,home, mobile-not sure how the last one works?)
The reason I have joined this forum is because I love films, the fact that this gives me the best chance to see films for free and before general release is the icing and cherry on the cake.
I have not joined it to become bff with everyone, although over time, I'm pretty sure I will sort of get to know people and at least for a lot of us we all have a love of the movies in common.
Now, on to the topic at hand, I have sat and read all 8 pages of opinions and here's what I think.
Selling free tickets on is wrong, I do not agree with it at all. Regardless of whether that is travel, film, sport, music or anything, if it is free for me it should be free for all.
I'm always looking for ways to make more money so if I see a bargain and can sell it on for a profit I will, that's what all retail businesses do. b*y low sell high.
Until there is a totally free utopian society, I will do what I need to put food on my family table and a roof over our heads.
If I couldn't go to see a film I would offer it to close friends and family, on here, or to work colleagues if I had to, and if nobody wanted them I'd return them. Why bite the hand that feeds? Surely we have all seen p*y it forward and can appreciate the merits of one good turn deserves another???
If people don't initally trust me on here, that's their choice. I look like a thug/bouncer at the best of times so I'm used to it.
People should get tickets that they want for themselves and not for other people, I know you have a guideline to say get some for some of the top posters incase they miss them, which I'm happy to try and do. Hey, it's your forum and your rules, the least I can do if I get a few free films out of it.
I guess that's about it really. Nothing more to add.
