shetlandpeat Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 There are national ID cards for youngsters and I would think they could use their Northlink/Serco ID card, the latter being just the cost of a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlinkedstudent Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I also wonder how they go about knowing who is 'disabled' and is eligable for cheaper tickets? anyone know? The good news is that on Mareel website, it states that for those claiming Disability Living Allowance, they can apply for a CEA card ... ... the bad news is that they've omitted the fact that on www.ceacard.co.uk, it states that in order to be eligible to apply, you can either be claiming DLA or Attendance Allowance. ... On second thoughts ... The CEA card costs £5.50 to process, plus the cost of a photograph. The Chairman of the organisation has this to say: "Phil Clapp | Chief Executive, Cinema Exhibitors' Association22 Golden Square | London | W1F 9JWT +44 (0)20 7734 9551 | M +44(0) 7917806887 | F +44 (0)20 7734 6147 As Chief Executive of the Cinema Exhibitors’ Association (CEA), I am replying to you following your recent email exchanges with the Card Network regarding the renewal conditions under which the CEA Card is now issued. Initially it might be helpful if I restate the role of the CEA Card. It is a non-mandatory scheme which was introduced in response to requests from CEA members and a number of disability organisations to find an alternative and voluntary way of demonstrating the need for a reasonable adjustment when visiting the cinema. It is in no way intended or designed to be the sole way of cinemas meeting their obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 when individual’s may require the assistance of another to visit a cinema. These obligations stand irrespective of whether a disabled person who requires such assistance is a card holder or not. Where a disabled person requires this level of assistance and is not a Card holder, the CEA policy is that the escort should be allowed free admittance. The Card is designed to help simplify some of the issues that arise when disabled cinema goers might need a reasonable adjustment as specified under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. To this end it has been successful. During the course of last year it was decided that the terms and conditions under which the Card was issued needed to be reviewed and updated. This was done under the auspices of the CEA’s Disability Working Group which consists of representatives from the major circuits, several national disability specific charities, e.g., RNID and RNIB and our specialist disability advisers, Freeney Williams Ltd. As a result of these discussions the terms and conditions to which you refer were launched. I note your views regarding these terms and conditions. However, the CEA have the right to determine the terms and conditions of such a Card as it is not an obligation for a disabled person to hold one to seek the provision of a free seat for a escort when attending the cinema. The Card is simply one way of demonstrating such a need for a reasonable adjustment. By holding a Card the cardholder is demonstrating to the cinema staff that they have a need for a reasonable adjustment and that their preferred adjustment is a personal assistant. The cinema accepts this (in participating cinemas) and, in effect, short circuits the discussions which might necessarily have to take place with a member of staff about the effect of someone's disability on their ability to attend the cinema and the need for and nature of a reasonable adjustment. Where a disabled person does not hold a Card, the cinema still has the legal obligation to make a reasonable adjustment to facilitate a disabled person attending the cinema. However, they may be asked by cinema staff about the effect of their disability on their ability to access that cinema and discuss the adjustments required, how they should be met and so on." (http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/special_needs/1268445-Autism-Screenings-at-Odeon-Cinemas/AllOnOnePage Which begs the question: do others qualifying for ticket reductions have to pay to prove they meet the criteria (Edit: Or does the CEA card just apply concerning disabled access/carer requirements?)

Neon Lights Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Can anyone tell me what an "earlybird ticket" is? My first thought was that this covered films which were on before say 5pm, but after further investigation I am not convinced this is the case. Is it a cheaper price for tickets which are bought in advance, meaning "early birds" get a discount for being organised? Can anyone clear this up for me?

Neon Lights Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I think I will just book two Early Bird tickets and hope for the best!! LCD Soundsystem are awesome, and seeing the film will be the closest I will ever get to seeing James Murphy in concert. Shame he had to call it a day.
