New to sky, just booked online to see gladiator 2 and used free vue ticket but still had to pay £1. Is this normal?

I booked vip tickets so that explains. I don't mind at all paying the £1 if the seats are more comfortable. Thank you for answering, i genuinely didn't know.

Only a few of the Vue cinemas do that add on, as linked above.

Still £1 for you is probably still worth it.

Enjoy the film.

I have booked my Vue tickets for a viewing of Gladiator II next week.

See the free Sky Showcase movie this weekend is the first Gladiator film.

See its also available to download now via the Sky Max channel.

Very wise to pay as little as possible for Gladiator 2... I saw a preview last week. It didn't get much love from the audience. A polite but very short & subdued round of applause at the end. Methinks Wicked will steamroll it at the box office and it'll be on streaming very soon.

It was a film I wasn't that bothered about watching. Only reason I am is the free tickets. Going into it with low expectations.
