      Thanks. I was trying to get that in.. it's a little difficult on the phone :-)

      NOTE: valid 7 days after premiere… WTF Transformers IMAX Fail!

      • voter1 on 09/06/2011 - 03:50

        hmmm TF3 is filmed using fusion camera but not in imax ratio i think.

        Everybody is on the 3d bandwagon… boo.

        the extra 9 mins in TF2 was definitely impressive… yes the rest of the movie sucked.

      • Trance N Dance on 09/06/2011 - 10:39

        Wait does that mean that you can only use it after 7 days of the premier or within 7 days of the premier?

        • A Banana4scale on 09/06/2011 - 11:42

          after..which is why it's so cheap
          That's when you can also start using the No Free Tix passes as well.
          If you wanna watch a movie as soon as it comes out, Move along nothing to see here.

          But if you can wait then that's bargain price for IMAX

      Guys beware. it says:
      "In the case of Imax, a standard adult ticket refers to an adult ticket for a film of less than 60 minutes duration (ie documentaries), films that are longer than 60 minutes would be subject to a surcharge (ie feature films)"

  • perhapscwk on 09/06/2011 - 10:53

    all fields must be filled? so what we need to filled?
    and it seems all booking must be made online.

      The vouchers can be used for traditional IMAX films (generally 1 hr duration) any day & any time. They can also be used at Full length features (such as "Pirates 4", Cars 2", "Transformers 3", "Harry Potter 7.2). The best part is that they can be seen at no additional cost (whether 2D or 3D) after the 1st 7 days of release … ie: day 8 & beyond. Hope this clarifies.

    I actually have no idea where the bargain is here. For starters a lot of the cinemas that this can be used at offer tickets for $10 or under anyway so its only a bit cheaper. Secondly, just wait until the other places run a deal for $7.

    Ok so cheaper but not a bargain

        Weekends and evenings.* Adults $8.50

        I see that this deal is sold out. Sucked in is all I can say. I'd rather pay $7 for a cinema which shows a wider range of movies and a wider range of times and then go to these smaller cinemas for indie movies - but not the ones that are more than $10 - I find other cinemas that charge less than $8 every day anyway. Like I said - its cheaper but this is not a bargain at all.

      The Kino is very well known for arthouse/foreign films, film festivals, etc and has been around for years in Collins St. ie, not for any films with a number after them, tie-ins with Happy Meal toys or with plots written on napkins ;-) Similar class to the Nova in Carlton and the Como in Sth Yarra.

    It's good they sold out so I don't have to worry about booking.

    By the way, other IMAX I have been to have 360 dome shape screen, how come the one at Darling Harbour is only a curved screen? Or was it just that particular theater has a small screen?

    • ccrap on 10/06/2011 - 01:54

      small screen? at 7-8 stories tall, imax sydney is the biggest cinema screen in the world mate. the other one you're talking is a variation of the imax brand and called imax dome or omnimax - used mainly for specially recorded docos rather than full length feature films.

    • fatal on 10/06/2011 - 09:38

      ccrap is right. The Sydney IMAX theatre is the LARGEST cinema screen anywhere in the world. Not sure why you would think its small =/

  • bashar20 on 10/06/2011 - 14:59

    Can anybody share the "instructions on how you get the cinema tickets posted to your mailing address".

    I really don't want to spend my whole long weekend pinned to my computer screen waiting for these instructions. I just simply need to establish if you have to rush and redeem or it is a straight forward process where timing doesn't make of a difference.

    • supersabroso on 10/06/2011 - 16:42

      I'm in your exact same position. Just check back tomorrow, what's the rush? Cinemas are barely half full once the premiere week is over, 3 sessions a day, 7 days a week, you'll be fine.

      Although, it would be significantly more convenient if we didn't have to book the exact date and time.

      • bashar20 on 10/06/2011 - 16:47

        mainly I want to see Harry Potter, Transformers 3 and Pirates 4 all in imax. I bought 6 tickets to see these.

  • uccoffee on 10/06/2011 - 17:39

    I m still waiting for my vouchers, do I have to wait til tuesday to get them?

    • bashar20 on 10/06/2011 - 18:12

      God Knows.
      Its stupid that they claim you can use your voucher from today when we all know that you still have to redeem it and wait for it to arrive in the post.
      and there is always the risk of the post office stuffing it up.

      what is annoying me is that I don't know what will the process be? If they made the process clear I don't mind waiting. but now am waiting just to know the process.

      I even emailed support and they wouldn't answer my question about the process and they just ask me to wait for the afternoon.

      Guess what there is nothing in my inbox and I can't watch Pirates over the long weekend as per my original plan.

  • supersabroso on 10/06/2011 - 19:12

    Slightly strange process. Just got an email saying that my vouchers have arrived 17 minutes ago. I clicked the link in the pdf to claim my vouchers and after a quick detail filling….

    "Great news! Now that we've confirmed your address we can send you your vouchers. We aim to send all vouchers within five working days, thanks again for your purchase!"

    Ah I see what the rush was all about now. Sorry bashar, it looks like you probably won't be seeing it over the long weekend given that you live in the laid back land of OZ.

    What I'm worried about is the unique code and pin number, why give it to us unless we're required to do something with them later? This could turn out to be an extremely interesting process indeed lol. But it's all worth it if it saves you $120 eh? You just have to have patience.

    • bashar20 on 11/06/2011 - 12:26

      we will wait and see. It would have been better if they made the process clear from the start.
      so now we are loosing 1 week at least of the 3 months. lets hope imax will be still showing pirates by the time the vouchers arrive.

      you have to fill your address in 2 lines

      • bashar20 on 12/06/2011 - 09:37

        I used my name in the first and my street address in the 2nd ad it worked fine for me.

          thanks guys
          it works now
          what an annoying validation to have both address lines as mandatory fields

  • aofangbaike on 16/06/2011 - 12:12

    anyone got tickets yet?

    • bashar20 on 16/06/2011 - 15:20

      I didn't get mine yet :-(

  • supersabroso on 20/06/2011 - 17:30

    Nope, unfortunately I'm still waiting for mine.

  • cocomelon on 20/06/2011 - 17:34

    anyone received the ticket??

  • bashar20 on 21/06/2011 - 09:48
    +2

    Finally Spreets replied to my email.
    "Hi Spreeter,

    Due to the massive response we've had for this deal (Over 10,000 tickets sold!) Some of the tickets are still being processed and mailed out. All I can ask of you at the moment is to sit tight, as it shouldn't be to much longer! :)

    Sorry for the inconvenience!

    Kind Regards
    Team Spreets"

    • cocomelon on 21/06/2011 - 11:26

      thanks dude.. but still spreets can just let us use the e-voucher instead!

  • yesyes on 21/06/2011 - 13:33

    Hi Guys, what is the process for redeeming these tickets. Do they send movie tickets or do we need to again enter some details in AMV site before going to movie. thanks

    • bashar20 on 22/06/2011 - 10:15

      I assume that they send you a AMV voucher that yoy can exchange for a movie ticket at the counter of your cinema.
      However I asked spreets this question twice and never got a clear answer.

  • mig_29 on 22/06/2011 - 11:29

    Anyone got the tickets yet? Or does any have any information on how to book a movie session session for a perticular cinema?

    • supersabroso on 23/06/2011 - 00:31

      What bashar said, however we won't know for sure until someone gets their tickets. It's been almost 14 days and still nothing, so much for 5 working days lol.

      I'm definitely not buying their new movie ticket deal (2xTickets for $18).

  • newguy on 23/06/2011 - 12:25

    I can't believe it takes so long to get the vouchers. Please send out the vouchers quicker. Don't wait until 2 months later!

  • Aurrorra on 23/06/2011 - 14:19

    Neg this deal because I haven't received the ticket 2 weeks after the deal get activated, and it is expired on 10 Sep!

  • Silly on 23/06/2011 - 18:01

    i have not got my tickets too. is this a big scam?

  • cocomelon on 23/06/2011 - 18:43

    Spreets has failed!!!
