Journey to Le Mans - One off Showing - 11/11

[ImJimbo]

I hope that this isn't a duplicate thread but couldn't see anything in the forum.

Whilst browsing through my Twitter feed at the weekend I noticed that the Journey to Le Mans film will be shown in Vue Cinemas at 7pm on Tuesday 11th November.

If I hadn't of seen this Tweet I'd have completely forgotten about the film so felt I should share this info.

Full details can be found here - http://www.journeytolemans.com/

Ooh! Great spot and thanks for the info! Although my nearest showing is Cambridge, oh well an evening in Cambridge it is then! Cheers

Film will be available on DVD and BR

Would love to do this but no cinemas in kent or close by showing it

It's getting a showing in Carlisle which surprised me, £12.50 is a bit cheeky though

£100 for a VIP ticket at the premiere in London is even cheekier.

It'll cost me a tenner (discount for seniors ) for a ticket at the Vue in Exeter

I saw this myself but £15 a ticket is too steep for me, especially when the DVD is available to preorder from Asda for £7

+1. Booking now for Exeter. Will be a nice surprise for my Le Mans mad son, who has to wait a couple of years before he can go for the first time (next year is an important one for him at school). But 2016 it is, and sod the fine for taking him out of school for a couple of days..

if you register for Super Tuesday, you can get a third off films on a Tuesday, which I assume covers all Vue Cinemas and all films

I registered for that but it doesn't appear to deduct any money off the ticket price when putting my unique code in the discounts box

[SydneyBridge]

perhaps its not valid on this film. I have only ever used the code in the cinema on a Tuesday when buying tickets

Correct. I just tried it on another film and it worked ok. Ah well

[SydneyBridge]

typical - they charge loads more and wont accept any discount...

Indeed, especially as the DVD is almost half the price of one standard ticket to see it at the cinema if you buy from Asda: http://direct.asda.com/Journey-to-Le-Mans---DVD/00...

In 1998 I wrote to my son's school and got permission to take him out for a couple of days so we could go to Le Mans. He was 14 and the argument I used was that he had an excellent attendance record and that he wouldn't be able to go for the next few years because of GCSE/A1/A2 then University. The school approved it, although you might have more of a struggle. It was a great weekend.
We went to Stuttgart for the Porsche and Mercedes museums and then Le Mans this year to celebrate Mark's 30th and my 60th birthdays- another great weekend

Great to hear, and nice that you still do these things with your son. I'll also be 60 when my son is 30, and Le Mans seems the perfect way to celebrate such a milestone

Off to see this tomorrow at Sheffield VUE. It might be cheaper to get the DVD but to experience this on the big screen should be very impressive. Not sure how this whole live Q&A thing is going to work, should be interesting.

And I am inviting my friends along for my 60th too.. although WEC at Silverstone will be just a week before the actual day - somehow freezing you n**s off in Northamptonshire in April hasn't got quite the same ring to it...

Succumbed and am going to Leicester Square...
