Is it okay to jump a queue using guile (and money)?

They give out these free passes that are hard to get, but still overbook the heck out of the thing. They give everyone a number and make them wait in the lobby in a big queue.
When it gets too packed downstairs they send 50 or so up to queue outside the actual screening room.
I arrived and my number was 258. Looked like I was fucked as the queue was immense.
So I paid for an actual current movie and went upstairs with my free pass in my pocket and joined the first 50.

Felt a bit bad.

I've got the Cineworld card thing so I can see as many films as I want for 20 quid a month or whatever.
Sometimes I'll go to see a film that's just out, and it'll be sold out, but there's another screening in an hour.
So I have on occasion just got a ticket for the one in an hour, then just went in and sat down in the sold out one, cause fuck it, there's bound to be a couple of people don't turn up for whatever reason, right?
If the cinema people ever catch me, I'll just be like "Oh I thought my ticket was for this showing, I didn't realise it was sold out and the cashier gave me a ticket for the next!"

Yeah, I'd do that.

I've gone to a Friday screening where it's all sold out and just buy a ticket for the same screening the following week. Has never not worked.

The real question is, what cunts are buying tickets and then not going to see the film?

Erm, happened to me for Interstellar. had the ticket bought well in advance, then had something come up.

 

[Cormcolash]

That shit's why I never bother buying until I get to the cinema

Almost never happens. It was because of a girl.

Good reason I guess
