dl 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! |
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. |
Took my kids to the Guardians of the Galaxy last night - odeon chichester

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

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.

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

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.
|
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: |

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 Mart |
Business rates probably have a lot to do with it.

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.

20 mins at the gates can be the norm :eek2: mart :D Presumably it is the roundabout on the A27 that causes the issue |

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! |

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