    Waiting till January 2011 is the only problem.

        I went through the entire transaction process and can't find any extra info. Just says all sessions except after 5pm saturdays. I've used this type of deal for event cinemas and Hoyts before and have never had any exclusions.

    SkyFireVII on 10/12/2010 - 11:48

    quick warning…it says enter name of patron that uses it so technically they might print your name on the ticket and then ONLY you can use it…i.e. with identification

    i was going to buy 4, but 40 tickets in 6months is insane…and the risk of not being able to share with mates is a risk i won't be taking

    10 tickets is enoughh for me

    just a warning that you may not be able to share these (i myself am unsure)

    •  
      jug_head on 10/12/2010 - 11:51

      Good point, however, in the past this has never been the case ie your name is not on each voucher and no ID has been required.

      I'll see if I can get a proper confirmation but it would be inconsistent with the way they do business if you are right

      •  
        super_jq on 10/12/2010 - 12:03

        Yep, will be unlikely to get name printed on these tix … I have been buying these for the last 4 years and no tix has got my name on it :)

    •  
      zzyss on 10/12/2010 - 12:07

      It does? I didn't see that field…

      I think it's because the system is designed for selling ordinary concert tickets. What you'll be getting is simply ordinary Movie vouchers. No problems with ID and being linked to your name only, etc.

    •  
      greenpossum on 10/12/2010 - 12:16

      I doubt if it will be a problem even if it has your name printed on it. People go to the movies together so you wouldn't expect your wife's and kids' names printed on the voucher. And I doubt if they will ask if one the people in the group has the name and photo ID, imagine the holdups it will cause. And there is nothing in the T&C saying you can't give away vouchers.

      6 months from when its issued to you

    cj88 on 10/12/2010 - 12:07

    Uh-oh. I went through it once and got a "transaction failed" error. Went through it again and was successful. Check my account and it's been debited twice. :/

  •  
    sabby on 10/12/2010 - 12:07

    Anyone who is seeing the "website is down" splash page. Try http://mcapplause.com.au then click on Movie vouchers and choose "Village Movie Vouchers - MasterCard special offer - All States"

    Hope it helps

  •  
    zzyss on 10/12/2010 - 12:10

    I wonder if they're going to cancel any orders, 'coz it says "until allocation is sold out" - and I wonder if their site tracks inventory, or keeps taking orders well after they've run out of tickets.

    Note: these AREN'T the offpeak vouchers and can be used on Fridays, Saturdays (but not after 5pm) and Sunday, so the price is incredible.

    Another note: you'll still have to pay the "3D tax" if you use these to see 3D movies.

    •  
      greenpossum on 10/12/2010 - 12:17

      It's easy to track inventory, just a counter of the number of books sold so far.

      •  
        zzyss on 10/12/2010 - 12:29

        You'd think so, but so many sites don't. Heck, even with the ones that DO have inventory tracking such as CotD, there are still problems.

        •  
          greenpossum on 10/12/2010 - 12:49

          Well it's not as if they have to go count widgets remaining in a stock room. And if they have been selling tickets to events, they ought to have a clue. (I hope.)
