ScreenSelect
in Vue ticket
booking deal
ScreenSelect.co.uk, the UK
online DVD rental business,
consumer brand of Video
Island, has extended its partnership with Vue Cinemas to
allow ScreenSelect members
to book Vue cinema tickets
online.
Subscribers to the online
DVD service wiD now be able
to look up cinema listings for
all films 'showing now' and
then link through to the Vue
website to buy tickets.
Because their details are
already on file with Screen
Select, all they have to do is
fill in the number of tickets
they want. After their first
purchase, individual preferences such as local cinema
are retained to make future
purchases simple.
ScreenSelect.co.uk and
Vue Cinemas originally
teamed up in July 2005 with
the launch of the "Vue at
Home' DVD rental service,
the first time that a major
cinema chain got involved
with a DVD by mail brand.
In addition to the ScreenSelect,co.uk brand, ScreenSelect has linked with a range
of retail partners including
Boots, Comet. Virgin Megastore, Dixons and Currys;
media partners such as
Sunday Times. Express
Newspapers and Time Out;
and technology partners
such as Real Networks, iFilm
and Microsoft.
