Cinema Ticket Prices

Recommended Posts

Having been browsing films at my local Odeon I realised it cost £7.20 a ticket. I'll end up paying for my girlfriend so thats £14.40! Not to mention another £6 if we fancy some pop corn and a drink. Which bumps it to a grand total of £20 :eek:. It's cheaper to wait 3 months and buy it so I can watch it as many times as I like and with there being a ton of films I've not yet seen surely I'm best watching these whilst waiting for it to be released.

 

How much does it cost at your cinema? Is the cinema experience really worth the expense?

For everything else, there's horribly illegal piracy, and no, cinema is never worth it in my opinion unless you have a really small monitor, good lord, you have to stand in queue surrounded by stupid chavs and such, and then you sit in some shitty sticky seat surrounded by people giggling and using their phones. Fuck that

I live in London and my local cinema is £4 with a student card or if you're an OAP, about £6 for everyone else.

 

They have a cheap night every Monday which is £3 for everyone, and once a month they have £1 tickets. Even at £4 its far cheaper than everywhere else and its a damn good cinema to boot.

I use the Unlimited card with Cineworld. I think it's normally around 5.50 for Adult and an extra £2 for 3D Movies.

 

I adore the cinema and it's very rare that a friend and myself attend and have problems with people using phones/shouting etc.

 

I do agree Cinema food is expensive which is why I normally grab a meal with said friend before/after the movie or bring my own food.

I only have one choice for a cinema here, sadly. And it's about €8.35 for a ticket I think. €7.35 if you buy a student card from them though (yes, buy, for €1, heh). Purchased one this year, hope I can use it at some point... not that I go to the cinema often but you know.

 

And I pretty much always buy a popcorn and coke at the cinema, because I can't get a popcorn like that anywhere else, heh. I think I pay about €4.75 for a 0.5 liter coke and a pretty nicely sized popcorn. Mmmm.

£7.60 here in harrogate at the odeon! Although a trick I have done a couple of times is bought the tickets online and bought student tickets and then get them out of the self service machine they never seem to bother checking when ur going into the screen.

Cost me £4.50 student the last time I went, but it was bargain tuesday. I think the regular price for an adult is £6.10 and regular student is £5.60. Absolute rip off.

 

At our old cinema I use to go on a fiver. £1 bus to town, £1.50 cinema ticket, £2.50 for a McDonalds. Oh I wish I was a kid again.

£6.50 at my local Cineworld, while it's £3.80 at an independent cinema on the island, but I've only been there once as it's in the centre of chav city, a very dirty place and doesn't have a very good screen.

 

I have thought about buying an Unlimited card, but I don't know if it's worth it as my local Cineworld is about 40 miles, so all the money I think I'm saving, might just be going on extra petrol.

Personally I'd rather watch films at home, there are very few films I'd bother to go and see at the cinema, maybe it's because the only two cinemas that are near where I live are run down and overpriced... Idk but it just seems logical to me to get it on dvd (I'm not too bothered when I see new films) or rent it, save money and watch it on a screen with a decent picture and a setup with decent sound (the bass is always distorted in the cinema) plus as a bonus you can guarantee you won't have some irritating sod sat in front, behind or beside you.

 

So yeah I still prefer home cinema to 'real' cinema but maybe thats just me... :heh: *shrugs*
