Articles | 07 Sep 2012 | 4 comments

Some suggestions to make your Movie Fest a great fest!

Behold the Movie Fest timetable... We've also put together some tips below that will help you get the best out of your weekend. 
We hope everyone going has a great time!

TIPS
1/ Doors open at 10am every day. Seats are allocated on a first come, first served basis, apart from a handful of seats which are reserved for the director/actor guests attending each movie. 

2/  Consider printing your tickets out from Cineworld's credit card machine on Friday, we expect large queues on Saturday morning, it will mean you can get to your seat faster! 

3/ The carpark at Cineworld are offering a deal of 9 euro to park for the entire day, ask at the carpark or in the cinema for a discount flyer. 

4/ Feel free TWEET about any movies or footage that you enjoyed, it will help us secure more good content next time around.

5/ However, no phones can be used inside the screen - this is a STRICT policy, anyone seen with a phone switched on will be asked to leave. 

6/ For security reasons we are required to collect phones before two of our most exclusive screenings over the weekend, Looper on Sunday evening & Saturday's mystery movie. We are using the services of a highly reputable security company, please co-operate fully with security over the weekend. Phones will be guarded and kept secure while you are in the screenings, you will be given a voucher and your phone will be placed safely in a bag until after the film. 

7/ Hold onto your ticket during the day, you'll be able to exchange it at a local bar for some free nibbles and free drinks. We'll have more details over the weekend! 

8/ Check your seat number when you sit down, we'll be doing some competitions over the weekend (mostly on Sunday), so know what seat you're in! 

If you can think of any more tips or have any questions do let us know!

    1) There was still some confusion this year about seating. Some people were hoping to get better seats by coming back early after the break but it seems like anyone who wanted to hold on to the same seats for the whole day was allowed to do so. Personally I don't mind but greater clarity could avoid the same confusion happening again. There were similar issues last year, I'm not sure was better this year or what, seemed about the same, a small number of people trying to get better seats for themselves and then being asked to move back to where they were before.

    5 & 6) I think it is funny when staff apologise for the no phones policy, if anything being able to watch a film uninterrupted by selfish texters who aren't actually interested in the film, is a bonus, and big selling point (on top of the fact that festival audiences are generally more considerate, and more enthusiastic about the films).

    Great to hear the announcement about IMAX coming to Cineworld.

    Thanks for another great MovieFest, until next year.
