To ask if you consider the cinema a day out

[Halfwayto]

Or not

Not a day out, but an outing obviously

Yeah, i had the odeon version until recently and thought the same.

I used to go once a week, sometimes twice, after work so no, wouldn't have considered it a day out.

Yes, it would be the day’s activity for us, in that we wouldn’t do cinema plus something else.

Bloody hell, it's £4.99 a ticket around here!

We get blue light discount so it's £5 for a child and £7 for an adult. I wouldn't consider it a day out on its own. If we're meeting up with friends and going for dinner and cinema or were meeting DB SIL and DNs for lunch and cinema it's more of a thing. Otherwise it's just seeing a film. DH and I will often take DS if the other is away at a weekend or working. So probably about once a month, but it costs £12 for an adult and child and we take our own snacks

It can be a treat, but it's definitely not a day out. Add in lunch, and it might be an afternoon out, I suppose.

Yes it's definitely a day out and a treat

As said because of the prices, it's a treat. It would be fine for a 'date night' or even something to do on a birthday, were you have to be local. It's been a child's birthday treat. It depends on if you are the only one who cooks, or your income. I'd prefer food out.

I do, especially if you go to a nice one with a bar or go for a meal afterwards etc.

Ours is £4.99 a ticket. I wouldn't pay £17!!

I live in a town with just one cinema that's part of a bigger chain. They have no competition from other cinemas and can therefore get away with charging much more.

It would be £25 for two of us to go and see a film, so definitely in the "treat" category. More of an afternoon/evening out though than a "day out".

I wouldn’t class a trip to the cinema as a day out and wouldn’t necessarily class it as a treat either, but our cinema isn’t the £17 a ticket that some other posters seem to be!

I do definitely. The tickets used to cost a fortune but the odeon is only £5 a ticket now and that makes a big difference. I go to Asda and buy 4 packs of sweets for a £1 and make my own pick and mix and I take drinks too. I would never buy the popcorn, drinks, nachos or ice cream there.

Not really, but it's pretty cheap here - £5.99

£5 a ticket? My local odeon is £12.99

We just nip after dinner, don't buy snacks so £12 for the two of us (plus petrol)

Yes definetly a treat, but not a day out, more like an outing.

Yep, for months it has been £5 for all tickets at the Odeon. I wonder why it would be different in different parts of the country. I am in a big city.

A treat rather than a day out I think.

Yeah to me it's a day out, purely because of the cost of it. My kids would know not to mither me asking for anything else that weekend because it wouldn't be forthcoming.

A treat if I can actually find something I want to see at a convenient time. It's only about a fiver at our local Vue

Same.

Yeah, £4.99 at our local Vue if you buy online.

It's not a day out to me but our local cinemas are £10-15 a ticket so it's still something we don't do very often. I'd rather spend the price of family cinema tickets on a proper day out somewhere.

It’s a treat and perhaps a day out if combined with lunch?
