How much is a cinema ticket round your way?

[jobhunter7]

My local multiplex charges about £15 for a standard screening of an evening for adults- which I think is about double what it should be...

And thought may be a terrible side-effect of illegal streaming and downloading...

But on here a poster up in Lancs says they only pay about £4 for the same...

Greater Manchester. Vue cinema is £4.99. Plenty of leg room and comfy seats. The Light cinema £7.50. Very roomy comfy recliner seats and table for drinks and snacks. Both are great and goid value. Can take own drinks and snacks in.

I was thinking I wouldn't mind the government stopping illegal downloading/streaming so I could return to a cheap night out at the flicks like it used to be... but maybe I should move to Cumbria or whatever then...

Streaming was going on long before COVID, the prices were going down if anything. The cinemas have got to make up for COVID and prices have gone up since then I've Cardiff prices went up during Covid

That was me that posted.
We have a couple of chain cinemas near to each other so that's probably why tickets are cheap.They show all the latest blockbuster ones

However my preferred indie cinema us a 40 min drive and that costs £6.50 for more quirkier films.

Vue website gives a breakdown of which of their cinemas fall into which price bracket www.myvue.com/legal/terms-and-conditions#book-from-499

£4.99 for the vue in the city centre. Parking can be about £5-7. The other cinemas locally are on retail parks with cheaper or free parking, but £8-9 per ticket, so the city centre is still cheaper for the four of us.

Cineworld is our nearest and a couple of years ago it was around £15 per ticket.
Went for the first time last Friday and it was £9.99 each. Still ridiculous though!

15-20$ here in Australia 10$ on cheap Tuesdays even more for gold class which comes with popcorn and a drink

I'm south west Scotland, my local Odeon is a fiver as its so run down. The one about 20 mins away is 8.50 -10 for an adult depending on the film..

Adult +child £18.00 at the odeon.
£8.99 per ticket at Vue.

I’m In Manchester its 4.99 here and I have the meerkat movies so its 2 for 1 .

£15 at the odeon last time I went before covid.

My local Vue is showing as £6.99, £7.99 and £8.99 for a week day evening show. I can’t get it to load weekend prices. Cineworld website says £3! I’m sure I paid more the last time I went to the cinema about 3 years ago.

About £7-8 at odeon, curzon is £13 I think

South of England
Vue 4.99
Cineworld 9.99

Just checked and it's gone up! £9.90 for a single ticket, £30 for a family of four (was £28 before Christmas...)

£6.99 but several months ago it was £4.99 at the Vue.

Cineworld, £9.99.

DP and I both have Unlimited cards though, so averages out at less than a fiver per film across the year.

£14.99 adult
£8.99 kids

• for 3d

£9.99 at the Vue in the closest city which we never go to or £4 for Flicks in the Sticks at the local community centre. The next village over has an outdoor flicks in the sticks in the summer at the local pub for about £3.

Our town has a new smaller chain cinema and we can get two tickets, with popcorn or nachos, a beer, a KitKat (random) and a Magnum ice cream half way through the film for about £11 each - it's incredible

North east
Boldon and Newcastle city Cineworld - £9.99 adult £5.99 child
Sunderland Empire - adults and kids £5.99
Durham odeon - adult £17, child £12

Durham is a travel but it so worth it, most home like seating

Reel cinema- £4 per ticket ( adults and children ).

OT but if any of you are near a Picturehouse or Cineworld they are doing £3 a ticket this Saturday on all films (+ the usual booking fee)

£4.50 at the local community run one, £7.50 at Odeon with dh's work discount

The only cinema in my town in Vue and it is £4.99 on line but £5.99 if you buy at the cinema.
