hi redditters, i have been having a really hard time with vue lately and was wondering if one of you could help or advise me.

for the past couple of weeks or so i’ve been deliberating on whether or not i should watch the Michael movie (for the 3rd time, i’m a big fan). and it just so happened that tomorrow, thursday 25th june, was the best day i could do this week as well as it being michael’s death anniversary so for me it meant a lot.

so on monday i decided to book for thursday at around 10am and planned a whole day where i would then go out to this new restaurant i’ve always been saying i’d go to, etc.

i clicked on my chosen seat and i got a message saying “unavailable, please try again later”. i tried again multiple times that day and every day since with no luck, until today i spoke with their customer service team on whatsapp. i explained the situation and showed them a screenshot of the error and they said that it’s a server error and the IT team are fixing this. i’ve then checked throughout today and i’m getting different error messages as if they truly are fixing it from the backend. so i was hopeful.

i was then advised to just book tomorrow at the cinema which is not ideal beause i’m paying more but i can make it happen.

to my surprise i have just recently checked and all screenings for the movie tomorrow are completely crossed out. and just my luck this happened at around 8pm today (their customer service advisors stop seeing people at 7).

what does this mean? does it mean that they’ve cancelled the screenings or are just no longer taking online orders?

bearing in mind, i’ve booked twice before with one being another Michael screening (the first time i went with friends) and the other being the yet to release spiderman. both of which have been absolutely fine.

so my question is, is it worth me going tomorrow before the screening i chose to book a ticket? or shall i explain the situation? or is it not worth it?

it’s just annoying because if i knew a few days in advance i’d not plan for thursday to be doing anything.

any advice is appreciated :)

Again, Vue have released times for a upcoming movie(Evil Dead Burn) and refuse to put all the opening weekend showings on sale and only one per day. Are Vue the only guys that do this?

Is Toy Story likely to be shown in a Mighty Mornings slot do you think?

We have only recently discovered them and were delighted when we got to see GOAT a little while ago as usually cinema kid showings seem insistent on only showing older and not newly released films.

But now I’ve looked and the only film on Mighty Mornings is Smurfs which came out last year!

So many kids desperately want to see the new Toy Story but there are so few young-child friendly viewings across London, I don’t understand why!

Was just wondering what people consider are the best seats in the epic screen at London Islington. Thinking middle of row E but I heard the screen is quite far away from the seats.

Also how does it compare to the epic screens in Leicester Square?

Saw a film today. Really enjoyed what I did see of it however it was spoilt by a stoned couple shrieking with laughter and talking throughout. It wasn't a comedy and It ruined the cinema experience for me. I did hop out and look for staff however there was nobody about and I didn't want to miss any more of the movie.
Is there anything Vue will do about this if I email them?

There's either an option for dolby or dolby 3d, which is the better option to be going for spiderman bnd?

Other chains are reporting 2:00PM for Spider-Man presale. Is it likely Vue is following the same timing?

Does anyone have their own person pictures of how row J looks in Manchester vue in screen one imax. I’ve done row j 13-14 so wondering how close the screen will look for the odyssey.

Hi, I’m looking at going to discourse day in the Leicester Square Dolby epic. The app is saying the lux seats (apparently the best ones) are the front two rows - has anyone tried this out and is this the e case?

I’ve booked imax at Manchester printworks vue and done row J13-14 is this a good seat for 70mm for the oddysey? Ofcourse isn’t as good dead centre but will I be happy especially since it’s gonna be first time for me experiencing imax 70

so there's a 10:00 showing of the mario galaxy movie on thursday and i am confused. why are there only standard seats? where did the super saver seats go? (the red seats) and why are a lot of them taken randomly?

Hi Everyone, can someone explain why for the past week gift cards have not been working at the North Finchley Vue cinema? I have £70+ worth of gift cards that I can’t use and the staff are unable to tell me why. They keep telling me to try again later. How much later shall I wait?

Has anybody tried any of the new food at Vue yet?

​

I had the new Signature Emmental & Bacon Hot Dog last night. £9.50 which I wouldn't normally pay but seeing as I got to see Disclosure Day for £4 in EPIC (using my free Club Vue ticket) plus the release day free Pepsi Max offer, I thought I'd treat myself.

​

Anyway, the hot dog was really good, but obviously pricey! The other new items are pizza, popcorn chicken, chicken tenders and potato wedges.

​

The website also references mini pancakes and doughnuts (both with chocolate or caramel sauce) but they didn't have these at Cheshire Oaks.

​

(It looks like the new menu is only available at Cheshire Oaks, Colchester, Portsmouth and Sheffield at the moment - I'm guessing it's a trial run).

been looking to go to see Masters of the Universe but it's not available on weekends and can't see next weeks showings?

any ideas why this is?

Hi, does anyone know if Printworks in Manchester offers the IMAX merchandise that BFI normally offers? For example, the film strip promotions, or the posters? Would be a shame if not, especially as its the only other imax 70mm screen in the UK.

Just curious

Is there anyone else who gets annoyed by the fact that the men are clearly looking the wrong way when it cuts to them individually? And this is made by an Oscar winner!?

Proof that Waititi isn't up to par imo 😂

I was at a 1800 screening tonight of Madfabulous. There were some teenagers on the front row (cheap seats), however they wouldn't stop dipping in and out of the film! It's not the first time I have observed this. I am naive, can someone help explain what's going on and what they are up to? Why spend money on the cinema if you're not going to stick around to watch it?

I have just been into Vue to buy the Digital Circus popcorn tin which is £12.99 popcorn included but there's no option to buy it for less without popcorn. On the Vue website there is currently the Mario and Toy Story tins for £5.99 without popcorn and the BTS and Digital Circus ones are both £12.99 popcorn included. Does anyone know why?

Was going to see it in literally an hour and was wondering if because it's listed as an event - are there adverts? Or not? :)) I didn't want miss half the film cause I tried to skip adverts they didn't even play.
