We just go for a hour out, have a brunch before the show & that’s it, 241 tickets so that’s 6 99 for both of us, can’t complain at that

Surprised people are saying there is nothing to see.

I have just looked back and through my unlimited card I have already seen 18 films this year. Yes some were better than others but there is definitely a good selection on

Please give me some recommendations!

Jazzjazzyjulez · 12/05/2024 11:04

Not a treat for us, just something to do.

KimberleyClark · 12/05/2024 11:04

Treat definitely. Last time I went to the cinema it was an Everyman. Pricey but fab.

I'm in South Wales.

I won't lie, it's in a bit of a state, last time I was there there were a bunch of damaged seats etc, and the local paper was having a whinge about it the other week.

The picture and sound quality are still good though, and I tend to go for very late showings when it's quiet, so I just switch to a decent seat on the same row once the film starts

What I don't understand is why people are still going to the cinema chains charging £15 when it's £6 a couple of miles down the road. Our odeon closed because people went to Vue instead, they will soon change prices if everyone did the same

Because lots of people don't have access to £6 cinema tickets?

We only pay £4.99 per ticket (adult or child) but the cinema near my parents is nearly double that. They can't just "pop down the road" as it's the only cinema within a 40 minute drive.

It is a perfectly fair point, but people on here love to moan and moan and moan.

Its been a little while since I've been so just checked.

Prices ranging from 4.99 to 7.99

4.99 for "super saver" (front few rows)
5.99 for saver (middle rows, this is what I tend to buy)
6.99 for regular (back of cinema)
7.99 for VIP (comfier seats, in between saver and regular)

Pricing is the same no matter when you go, Tuesday lunchtime or Friday evening. No kids pricing though, they spend the same as an adult.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 12/05/2024 10:57

Used to be but not now. Cost us £80 last time we went as our local cinema is very expensive for tickets.

WeightoftheWorld · 12/05/2024 10:56

It's a trip 'out' for me due to cost and lack of childcare so I only go a few times a year usually.

Bobbotgegrinch · 12/05/2024 10:55

lentilloved · 12/05/2024 10:48

and £5.50 for a friday night blockbuster film?

it’s a blanket £5.50?

I love going to the cinema - the Vue and the Picturehouse are £9 99, and I think the Odeon is about the same. I don't buy food/sweets/snacks, occasionally buy a coffee there. I don't drink, have my nails done, buy coffee every day, so the cinema is a regular thing for me.

YorkNew · 12/05/2024 10:49

It’s an everyday day activity for, well not everyday but four or five times per month.
I watched Fall Guy last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

lentilloved · 12/05/2024 10:48

Bobbotgegrinch · 12/05/2024 10:47

It's Vue, but the Odeon round the corner dropped their prices in response as well so they're both around the same price.

I've just read the whole thread and can't believe the prices some of you are having to pay!

Cattyisbatty · 12/05/2024 10:47

Definitely not a ‘treat’ but depends on cinema - posh Everyman is more of a treat. Vue with people on phones/eating is not (and it’s cheaper than ever - I never buy food there either).

lentilloved · 12/05/2024 10:45

Bobbotgegrinch · 12/05/2024 10:45

How much is a cinema ticket for you? It's about £5.50 here, cheaper than the cost of a pint! Definitely a cheap night out if you don't buy the extortionate popcorn and drinks etc.

i don’t understand how you can’t understand that not everyone has a £6 per ticket cinema local to them

Bobbotgegrinch · 12/05/2024 10:45

AlbertaWildRose · 12/05/2024 01:20

With the cost of tickets, plus any food if you choose to get it, I would say that it is definitely not an everyday activity. It's incredibly expensive.

I only have one within 10 miles. There isn’t one for £6 a couple of miles down the road from me!

I’ve just looked at the listings at my local cinema and there’s definitely nothing I’d bother spending £12.95 per adult and £8.95 per child to watch.

It just depends what you like. I don’t really watch much TV, and I have very little spare time so watching a film isn’t generally how I’d choose to spend it. I have friends who go practically every week, but they have people willing to do childcare etc. Maybe once every year or 2 there will be something I fancy seeing, but even then I can wait for it to be released on TV.
