Found this on a friend's facebook. No idea where it came from, he said share it with family and friends.

Used it tonight at the Earlville cinema to watch Gone Girl - worked fine. Just needed to print the barcode.

    • Hikey on 06/10/2014 - 10:55

      Used it yesterday at Innaloo for Guardians of the Galaxy, which was a surprisingly entertaining movie!

      They scanned the bar code from the phone.

      • fastnbulbous on 06/10/2014 - 21:39

        I tried with a print out and no luck. May depend on the attendee?

        I don't understand this comment, how can they scan the barcode from your phone if you're booking online?

        • gilbarc on 05/10/2014 - 09:02

          Yeah, in fact the voucher specifically states it's not available online.

          @gilbarc:

          I've finally deciphered the comment. I think he means when you book online, you receive a barcode to present at the ticket office when you go to collect the tickets. So that means the ability to scan barcodes off your phone is present. But I think the original question is whether they will accept a scan off your phone rather than it is possible.

          @uggugg: lol yep you are right sorry I think my grammar was bad. He knew we couldn't book online but not many people know you can just let the event guys scan it directly from your phone. I hate printing vouchers..

        • jaero115 on 05/10/2014 - 12:55

          @Kamsi: that's weird :S the guys at innaloo recommend it. They told me they prefer it because it's easier for both parties. Must be different for all cinemas

  • faze on 05/10/2014 - 03:37

    Okay, I'm having difficulty booking the movies online for $8.

    I'm either being really daft but there is no option to use these vouchers for online bookings.

    There is a voucher input section but the # on the coupon isn't valid as it also request a PIN.

    Just read it wasn't available online (all good) :)

      *Present this voucher at the box office to

    Pretty dodgy that the coupon states 'Valid to November 16, 2014' yet 4 of the 10 movies advertised on the flyer come out AFTER the coupon expires!

    • Spizz on 05/10/2014 - 10:40
      +2

      If these coupon/offers don't get pulled before the November 16th expiry you may be able to preorder a couple of those movies as Event usually put up tickets to order in advance.

      • jaero115 on 05/10/2014 - 11:39

        Can you pre order at the kiosk? I know you can book up to 7 days in advance online but I always wondered about in person

        • Spizz on 05/10/2014 - 13:09

          Yes. I have done so in the past and tell them the specific seats that I want.

    Can't seem to open this properly on my phone. Every time I click the link it just downloads a copy of this page, opening the html file dies give me a barcode or anything else to further this.

    What do I need to do to access this deal my phone?

    • jaero115 on 05/10/2014 - 11:41

      You probably need a PDF reader, just download a free one from Google Play store or the App store. If this still doesn't work then try a different mobile browser like Google Chrome

      • Ughhh on 05/10/2014 - 12:24

        Won't open via Adobe reader, says it's not a valid pdf file…

        • jaero115 on 05/10/2014 - 12:59

          Works for me I just tried again. Android with Adobe reader 11.5.0.1, try updating from play/app store or Foxit PDF Reader is a very good lightweight alternative

        • gilbarc on 05/10/2014 - 15:18

          Didn't work for me the first time either, just redownload and try again.

      • treeman on 05/10/2014 - 10:36

        Thanks Spizz, keep me updated!

      • jaero115 on 05/10/2014 - 11:47

        Hi Spizz so you can pre-order and pay for those tickets so you can use it at a later date? I believe they would give you a receipt to let you print a proper ticket on the actual day you come in to watch it? Because how do they know what session time you want if you're pre-ordering so early in advanced.

        • Spizz on 05/10/2014 - 13:14
          +1

          Session times are listed on their website in advance. Take Interstellar for instance. There are numerous session times listed for when it starts for multiple days.

          I go in and say I want to buy tickets for the November 6th 7:30pm VMax session and these are the seat numbers I want (which I check are free online before I ask).

          They will scan the bar code from the offer and give you your printed tickets for that day at the discounted price. You present those tickets as normal on the day and watch your movie.

    $6.50 tickets at the local event for students.. Good for adults though. The Equaliser is a great movie and the maze runner is a good watch too! The turtles movie was very average but the animation is very polished and detailed

    Parramatta Events Cinema didn't let me use it. They said it was a scam and the cashier told me all the Events cinemas were warned about this. Disappointed :(

    • Milkywayss on 05/10/2014 - 20:27

      Not sure how they can call it a scam if they have the barcode registered in their system. Might be worth trying another cinema if there is another close by.

      • jaero115 on 05/10/2014 - 20:37

        A scam would be a far call if several people have confirmed that it's working. Maybe an internal leak would have been more of an appropriate statement? Else I think that cinema or particular staff wasn't notified.

        • satoshi on 05/10/2014 - 21:43
          +1

          The manager at Parramatta told us that they've rung the head office and confirmed that there is no such a promotion, so they refused to issue the tickets to us. Please don't bother trying at Parramatta, they've banned the voucher. Try other cinemas.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2014 - 23:21

          Definitely a real promotion. I got an event cinemas professionally printed one from chicks at the flicks on wednesday night. Parramatta sounds like they're bullshitting.

        • treeman on 05/10/2014 - 23:36

          @savebueller:

          My guess is that it was maybe meant for the one event cinemas but they coded it wrong and it has got out and not much they can do at this stage…

      Used it a few hours ago at George st. Scan off the phone. For people who are refused, I recommend insist the box office people to scan the code. It cannot be a scam if they scan and their system accepts the code.

    • legendarypoo on 07/10/2014 - 16:30

      Glendale tickets only cost $8.50, probably just as much hassle going in to save 50c compared to ordering the ticket online (although the extra $1.10 for booking fee anyway pushes it up).
      I do like my allocated seating from online booking.
