To think the cinema is a day to day event

[Soboystake]

Not an experience or day out

Not a treat for us, just something to do.

Please give me some recommendations!

Vue from £4.99

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

What a generous and tolerant lot you all are - bothering with this 'question' when OP has neither explained what they mean or returned to the thread!

It's a treat. A bloody expensive one. Cost me over £50 for 2 tickets, 2 cokes and 2 popcorns recently.

We used to go at least weekly when I was a teen/student because it was so cheap. We rarely go now but that's more because I always nod off and it's an expensive nap! Xh takes the dc, he probably spends upwards of £50 but they always buy snacks, so I'd say more of a treat than an everyday activity

Ours is the same price, so not really a treat. And a combo treat is easy to be shared so again not too expensive.

For us it's a treat, and I love the experience of it. Plus there are different types of cinemas providing different types of experience.

If it was only £5 I'd be delighted to go everyday but the only cinema in my town is £70 for 2 adults and 2 kids

Very envious of £5 tickets.

Day to day event for us because I worked in one when I was younger and it ruined the whole “experience” for me. Tickets are a fiver here and we don’t buy food, so same price as going for a coffee.

I just checked my two local chains...

Odeon
Adult, Monday - Thursday £5.65
Adult, Friday - Sunday £8.20
Child, anytime - £5.20
A limitless card is £141 for the year

That's for any seat type so I'll tend to find a showing in the recliner screens as they're more comfortable

Showcase
Adult, anytime - £8.50
Child, anytime - £6.12

I just checked Romford, a "super saver" seat shows as £4.60, the other ticket options are £5.99. I just picked a random London cinema.

I have ab unlimited card.for.me.its a cheap wya to go out regularly, lots to watch so yeah whist it's not an everyday thin more like at least once a week if not twice. We just buy popcorn from Tesco and bring our own drinks.

It’s ridiculously expensive op so yes @Soboystake

Special evening out for us as so expensive.But I like it like that. Sometimes go to the picture house cinema and have a glass of wine in there as often prefer the film choices. Quite picky about films.

It’s definitely a treat here !

It's a treat, not a day-to-day event.

Definitely a treat only now. Tickets upwards of £10 here

I live in Canada. For the 5 of us to visit the Cineplex near us, it costs $100 just for tickets - that's about 60 GBP. I consider that to be very expensive.

My nearest cinema is 20 miles away. If you're rural there is little choice without making it a day trip.

Difficult to say why they closed, maybe the rates were too high or lease ran out Odeons were never in the cheaper bracket

I've just checked, our nearest Odeon is 44 miles away! Vue is nearer at 23 miles, but a pain to drive to through rural roads.
Vue tickets are 'from' £7 and Odeon are £8.50, plus fuel etc it isn't worth it.

It’s like a takeaway or a pub tea night out, not special enough to be up there with the Theatre or a restaurant meal out but not a weekly occurrence. However, I once bought a very cheap holiday insurance on Compare The Market (it cost 11 pound) and with that I got the Meercat BOGOF cinema deal. I wasn’t going on holiday, only bought it for the cinema tickets.

See, a takeaway is also a treat to us! Rural - not easy to get without a lot of effort, would rather go out to eat as have to drive to collect a takeaway anyway!
