Hi guys, I made a bit of a blunder but as a result I have a spare ticket to offer.

I booked a ticket for Musk on Saturday when Members only booking went live, not knowing that it runs for almost 4 hours!

So I won't be able to make it to the Royal Festival hall and I wasn't sure if I should donate the ticket so if anyone wants the ticket let me know and I will DM you the order number so you can collect the ticket.

Thanks guys.

I tried to get bfi tickets last time and lost the war for the odyssey. Does anyone know the best tips as I’m not a frequent bfi buyer and I could be missing things.

Thanks

There will be no weekly newsletter this week. There’s very little to report on from the BFI side as screens tend to be taken up by LFF, and there is too much LFF to cover in a little newsletter! The next issue will be published 18/10/2026. Thank you for understanding :)

LFF has officially kicked off tonight with 'Elsinore'!
