This, also has the advantage that you can have a beer (if that suits) and go for a piss when you feel like it.

And I bet you got a grope, a bag of chips on the way home and still had change.


The 4 of us went to see that new monkey film last week - with 2 adult / 2 kids, pop corns and drinks it was around £60!

gazzawrx 09 August 2014 08:01 PM

Ive literally just got back from watching the inbetweeners 2 at vue, i nearly fell over when the girl behind the desk told me it was £20 for me and the missus just to get in, it was another £4 for a fooking coke, and they wonder why people download movies or buy pirate dvds, i can get 8 of the latest films for £20 of my local dvd guy :eek:

good film though, proper funny and certainly worth a watch.

You could have a beer at the vue cinema at Star City in Birmingham that I went to yesterday at a cost of £4.50 for a bottle of Carlsberg:brickwall

Cost me and the missus £23 for the tickets, and then popcorn and a couple of beers and the missus a glass of wine comes to nearly £50 for a night out at the cinema!!:eek:

And they wonder why so many people are into pirate/copied DVD films nowadays, perhaps if cinemas didn't extract the urine with the prices of new releases and everything else more people would go to the cinema.

Fecking scandal TBH....

stonejedi 09 August 2014 08:20 PM

There's no two ways about it,the UK has expensive ticket prices,but compared to some of the other countries its not too bad,but still as long as punters pay there is no need for them to adjust it.http://www.expatistan.com/blog/23-To...-movie-tickets.SJ.

Maz 09 August 2014 08:32 PM

It's the price of food and drink that takes the micky. The ticket price I can just about swallow but I'll be damned if I'm paying a tenner for a bit of popcorn and a drink! Sod that.

ScoobyWon't 09 August 2014 09:07 PM

£15ish when I went to Nottingham's Imax, last month. Glad I took my own beer!

No I went to Worcester as my girlfriend lives near there although I went to the new Glos one near to when it was just built. Very nice in there I must admit but still doesn't justify the price!

gpssti4 10 August 2014 07:33 AM

If I ever go I take my own food and drink, or rather the wife does in a bag - fook paying another tenner or so for a couple of quids worth of junk food.

ditchmyster 10 August 2014 08:03 AM

Yep popcorn and coke for £8 is a joke and I don't like either from the cinema anyway, nice bag of butterkissed toffee popcorn and a can of shandy bass for me.:thumb:

Hodgy, how much.:eek:

Chichester doesn't have an odeon

mart :)

mart360 10 August 2014 08:46 AM

Used to have an unlimited pass to a local cinema,

to make it cost effective you would need to go twice a month.

Even using the pass, it would cost the same again once we got there for the

refreshments

There was a tv program about this a while back, popcorn is the biggest

profit maker in the world

billythekid 10 August 2014 09:03 AM

Business rates probably have a lot to do with it.

Lol, Vue then - the one opposite Frankie and Bennies - next to the car park with the Maccy D,s

Just here visiting family who live nr Petersfield

Ps we had planned to buy popcorn etc in Chichester, but the fvcking traffic on the one way system, over the level crossing was rubbish

lol, Welcome to our world,

20 mins at the gates can be the norm :eek2:

mart :D

It would be interesting to see what proportion of cinema tickets in this country are bought cut-price with any of the various special offer deals available (unlimited attendance monthly passes, half-price passes available from some phone carriers, half-price offers given away with purchase of previous tickets, etc), as opposed to purchased full-price. I'd imagine it must easily be a double-figure percentage, but curious to know just how high.

Yeah, quite unbelievable

Presumably it is the roundabout on the A27 that causes the issue

Sorry but cinema ticket prices have absolutely nothing to do with film pirating.

1) Cinema attendances have pretty much risen year on year since 1984.

2) The sort of people who pirate movies use cinema ticket prices and DVD prices to justify their criminal activities, but those sort of people would download a movie for free no matter what the cost of the DVD/cinema ticket!

So if you can't afford or resent the cost of something just steal it?

Would Dow load first then buy on DVD if I like it

DYK 10 August 2014 03:51 PM
