Are all cinemas this expensive now?

[Raffaelli]

Just went to book odeon for me and my 6yo tonight. £35 for non Premier seats! Which means I can't afford to go to the cinema anymore. Wild! Anyone else got the same problem? I'm a bit gutted!

The Everyman is cheaper than that. £13 each for non members

£4.99 each at our local Vue if you buy online.

I googled Odeon and even though prices do vary on location I really can't see how you got to £35 for one adult and one child.
You must have accidentally picked some kind of special offer - like food included or something.

Ours starts at about £3.50 for old kids movies. Current films start at £4.99. I think it's quite reasonable still.
We have an small independent cinema that is a couple of £s more.

That depends on which one you go to and when. If I want to see Gladiator 2 tonight at the Everyman in Cambridge, my ticket costs £17.10.

It was £23.00 a ticket for Wicked at my nearest Odeon on a weekday afternoon this week. And I live in the sticks.

With the Amazon Prime offer it went down to £23 for both. I have no idea how as it was meant to be £15 as it's a luxe, but it was an improvement on full price.

Cineworld £11 for an adult no discount seat

Depending on when and which multiplex it's between £7.50-£10 per ticket.

It's not cheap for group/family outings.

The local arts center gets new films very quickly and they are £2.50 to £3.50 - we see more there now or wait just a bit before they end up on one of the subscription services.

@PineappleCoconut was that £23 for 1 adult and 1 child?

Our nearest cinemas are about £7 per seat, and Vue is £4.99.

I need to move, clearly 😂

We're going this weekend and our options were:

£11 at the local Vue
£13 at an Odeon
£15 at Cineworld

All for basic seats!

Have you got one of the Vue near you that does £4.99 tickets? A lot of them do but if you live in a more expensive place then that might not be an option

We only have an Odeon or Everyman, was nearly £40 to see Paddington at Odeon for two adults and a child and nearly £50 at Everyman, we are not going.

Ridiculous prices.

Wow! £16.95 at Odeon here for an adult.

No, £23 each! DD is now adult age according to Odeon and they do check ages of older children.

No we pay £5 a ticket. I refuse to go to odeon etc because it's £12-20 each!

I’ve not come across that pricing anywhere before and I live in Greater London which always seems to have sky high prices! My DC and I went to see Wicked recently on a weekend afternoon and tickets were £11.99 each for decent seats.

Vue is about a fiver.

@PineappleCoconut that seems odd.
I went to an Odeon for Wicked last week (big London one) and paid £13 for an adult ticket.

Vue by me is £6 a seat. Even the odeon luxe near me is only about £22 for 2 people

It's £5.99 per adult plus .50 booking fee here.

It's Vue btw. Showcase closed down anyway, no wonder

Vue and Cineworld are cheaper than Odeon. Our local independent is brilliant at sensible prices, but I appreciate they aren't an option lots of places

Saw Gladiator II on it’s opening weekend and paid the following:
£40 for 2 tickets (sofa)
£66 for one bottle of white wine, two initial glasses of wine in the bar, olives, cashews and a hot dog.
All brought to your seat.
This was an Everyman, yes v expensive, not something I’d do on a regular basis, but worth paying a bit more for an ‘experience’ and not having to suffer annoying people/teens in the cinema. Much better class of attendees!

Rural Scotland (only cinema for 35km) £10 adult. £9 teen, £7.50 child. Don't accept meerkat offer either. We'd go every month if we could afford, as it is, we go once a year.
