Win a trip to the Edinburgh International Film Festival. This Guardian Unlimited competition provides a chance for UK Browncoats to win a trip to see Serenity on 28th August during the Best of the Fest.

The winners may choose up to 3 films and get a pair of tickets to each and we already know that Serenity will be featured in the 'Best of the Fest' line up. The odds of getting a ticket this way are posssibly not much less than trying online!! After all, tickets go on sale on 22 August and will likely be sold out to festival goers queueing in person at the box office (IMHO only).

There don’t seem to be any geographical limits – so I’m guessing anyone’s eligible to enter but would need to make their own way to Stanstead or other UK domestic ‘Easyjet’ airport.

Y'know, I'm really curious to see how this plays out. The continuous references to the "thousands" of fans that have crushed into theaters for every prescreening of 'Serenity' seem a little... misleading. I think it's likely that it has always been the SAME thousands seeing the film over and over and over again... considering how many Browncoats I hear gloating about how they got to see every single screening.

"I've seen 'Serenity' FOUR times!"

My wife and I are diehard Browncoats and we haven't seen 'Serenity' ONCE. We've been cursed to be normal humans with only normal internet connections apparently. So everytime we've tried to get tickets they've sold out before we can even submit our request.

I'm sure we're not the only ones. Winning tickets is obviously the only way for us mere mortals to actually see this thing before September...
Yeah, I remember reading someone here I think who said as they had already seen the film they weren't going to try and get to another showing so that someone else could go. That's decent of them, because it's unfair that other people who really want to see it can't because every time they try to get tickets they've all been taken, while other people may have seen it half a dozen times. Be a little generous and allow someone else the chance to see it.

Of course I'm in the UK so it doesn't even affect me, but it's annoying to see other people miss out when there's no need to.
