With 15 free screenings taking place in all three cinemas, as well as some special guests to introduce films over the course of the day, it promises to be an event to remember.Tickets for all films will become available at 11am on June 11th at the IFI. Tickets will not be available online or by phone. Maximum of four tickets per person, all allocated on a first come, first served basis. Arrive early as tickets are expected to go quickly!

It does say:

Arrive early as tickets are expected to go quickly!

Someone was bound to be at least year's one who can fill us in though.

Went last year and there was a queue around the block but it moved well, I arrived at 10:45 and I was grand. I've a feeling that this one is going to be a bit more popular though so I'll be heading in early!

I figure this is worth a bump.
