The customer service number listed for Vue Cinemas is 0345-308-4620, and the help section on myvue.com deals with bookings, refunds and gift card problems in writing. During a visit, the duty manager at the cinema is the only person who can fix anything on the spot, whether that is the picture, the sound, the temperature in the screen, a booking that will not scan or a member of staff, so ask at the desk before you go home. Get the manager name and keep your ticket and receipt.

Paid for a booking that never produced a ticket? Put it through our complaint process and we take it further: we bring your case to their attention through emails, social media and paper complaint letters.

Vue tickets are normally sold as non refundable once booked, and the usual route is to ask to exchange the booking for another showing before it starts rather than to cancel it outright. Where you have a real claim is a screening that went wrong: the film did not start or was the wrong one, the picture or sound failed, the showing was cancelled, or a valid booking would not let you in. Ask the duty manager on the day, and ask for the outcome in writing or by email rather than accepting a verbal promise.

If you have already left, go to customer service with the booking reference, the cinema, the screen number and the showing time. Refused a refund you believe you are owed? Put the booking reference and what happened in your complaint here and we help you write it up in minutes, so the screening that went wrong reads as a case rather than a request for goodwill.

Vue gift cards and vouchers carry conditions that catch people out. Some cannot be used for online bookings and only work at the box office, some are excluded from premium seating, 3D or special events, and most run out after a set period from purchase or activation. A card bought as a present also has to be activated at the till at the time of sale, and one that was never activated is simply declined without any explanation on screen.

Keep the card, the receipt and the long card number, and screenshot the error message and the page you were on. Customer service can check the balance and the activation history against that number, which is why throwing the card away is the one thing that ends the claim for good.

Escalate in writing once the cinema and customer service have both had their turn. Name the cinema, the date, the showing time and the booking reference, set out what you asked for and what you were told, and state plainly what you want done about it. Vue is a UK cinema chain with its head office in London, and escalations there are handled by customer relations rather than by the site you visited, so a clear timeline matters more than length.

If your complaint is about discrimination, disability access or the safety of a child, say so in the first line rather than filing it as a service issue, because those complaints are handled under different rules and often by different people. A complaint here backs the escalation up: we bring your case to their attention through our own channels, while other Vue customers can find it and back you up with their own experience.
