Cinema prices are taking the piss!
What the hell!
I wanted too take my dad to see Avatar 3D, in the afternoon. I am a student, he is a senior.
For me, him, smallest drink each and smallest popcorn each...
Vue - £24 (Discounts for early screening, student, senior and combo food/drink)
Odeon - £30 (Discounts for student, senior)
Cineworld - £25 (Discounts for student, senior)
(We actually went to Vue, other prices based on online ticket prices and food prices last time we went)
I realise its 3D and that food and drink are expensive, but this is bordering on ridiculous.
If we were both adults that Odeon price would be £35.
To compare, if we booked online right now me and my dad could get a day at Alton Towers for £45.
It's just too expensive to be able to do anymore for me. Anyone else the same?

Regarding cinema tickets I pay around £6.50 for a regular 2D film, which is very good value for 2010 - it costs about £4 to rent a dvd these days. The cinema is offering a service and is paying a large chunk of your ticket price to Mr Cameron.
3D cinema will never become the norm until it can be achieved without those silly glasses which can cause nausea.
Having said all this I hope you enjoyed the film, Alton Towers would have been a bit chilly today, also Avatar cost a lot more to make than Alton Towers cost to build.
Did really enjoy the film.
But I do DVD rental at the moment and its £10 a month, 2 discs at a time, unlimited discs a month.
Yes.
Shan't say more about it but I do agree - the prices are mental.
I also really enjoyed the film and feel that it will lose a lot of it's impact when seen on a tv screen in 2d.
I buy Nachos with chilli and cheese.
How much of that was tickets? I agree that 3D ticket prices are a bit steep but it's a premium product and you can't (for now anyway) get anything like the same experience by downloading.
On the other hand anyone who pays cinema prices for food and drink needs their head examining. You don't need to eat and drink in the cinema and you can get better refreshments for less at a nearby café.
Well, it might be where I live but it cost me, my Cousin and his kids (3) 36 quid so I do worry about you guys paying that much when I think 5 of us for 36 is mental.
I remember when it was 2 quid LOL
What the hell did you spend £90 on:eek:Hope you were'nt buying big tubs of Ben & Jerry's:p
A covered banquette at my local cinema is only a fiver.
Some cinemas are clamping down on that by asking you to open your bag so they can look inside. Being a bloke I've escaped that. I normally put the bottles in my back pockets with my jacket hanging over them and walk straight in.
Weekday screenings before 2pm: £14, £10, £9.
****ing crazy.
:eek: That's shocking.
You legend!
What cinema was that? I'll make a note to avoid it!
i agree! and checking people bags for food is like big brother!...if we all say no and boycott the cinemas that do that they will have to change there rules or close down due to lack of punters!.....dont let them win!
I really don't blame people for downloading films - it serves them right!
So grateful for my Cineworld card.
If you're that stupid, you deserve to be ripped off.
You don't have to have food in the cinema - you're going to watch a film, not eat a bloody meal.

That is actually a fair point, when / why did eating become associated with watching a film?
Crap !
