Check out the slightly shoddy trailer that has just been set upon the internet by the mouth breathers in the LUC IT Department. Once again our dependable announcer has been woken from his slumber to star in another dodgy video to inform you of the exciting events occurring at the forthcoming #LUCFEST 2014.
To motivate and reward him this time we will be providing incentives for all of you to view and share this promotional item as widely as possible. Said rewards will be triggered after a certain amount of views of the trailer – full details are contained within – it could even lead us to have to #FreeTheLUCAnnouncer (!)
Here is the schedule of events for the second Leamington Underground Cinema Festival. The entertainment runs from 7th to 11th October at various venues around the town. Tickets for all events cost £5 or less (including any booking fees) and are available to purchase right now from www.wegottockets.com/lucfest – buy early to avoid disappointment.
Thanks to the white heat of internet technology – tickets for most events at the second Leamington Underground Cinema are available right now via wegottickets.
One of the key aims for the festival is that no event will cost more than £5 – including any booking fees, so our on-line prices are all adjusted to make sure that the total cost is under a fiver. In fact by purchasing in advance you will not only be making sure of your place at some cracking events in October, but also saving 5p on each one.
Five of the seven paid events are now available at the links below – the rest will follow later this week. If you prefer to get all up close and personal with our bunker personnel, then we will also be selling tickets every saturday afternoon from the 13th August onwards at a special LUC stall on the parade in Leamington – more info on this shortly.
If you buy online, your tickets will be waiting for you at each event.
