So, as suggested in another thread on here, it seems that Cineworld are adjusting their prices on the 3D surcharge...

Doesn't seem particularily clear though. Does it mean that Unlimited customers still have to pay £1.30? Anyone?

Yes it says £1.30 for children and unlimited. I thought they were going to scrap the extra charge or reduce it to under a pound they way they were going on. So its about 20 or 30p less. And they expect you to buy a pair for 80p to achieve this if you havent got any already. Hardly a huge reduction is it? They will still be the same uncomfortable glasses I imagine that squash the side of your head. I have to take mine off every 20 mins or so. And I went to see the 2D of Up instead.
Guess who won't be bothering to watch any 3D films then... I may just start selling my old glasses to people outside the building! :rolleyes:
I have an unlimited card, so if I was to bring in a pair of glasses that I'd got ages ago (before they started charging for 3D films) would I still have to pay £1.30?
Also, I don't get the bit where it says "Customers, who do not have 3D glasses, will have to purchase a pair for 80p and they too will be making a saving if they reuse their glasses for future presentations. You only need to use your glasses 3 times to start making a saving!
Will those customers have to pay 80p for the glasses plus the surcharge?
Excuse me for being thick!!
You're not being thick... It's as clear as mud.
From what I can work out, it means that us Unlimited customers will have to pay £1.30 each time (Wow, a whole 20p lower than currently...) and yes, other customers will have to pay the charge, plus the 80p for their glasses.
Anyone from Cineworld care to elaborate as to if this is the case?
It's quite annoying as the rumours were suggesting that the charge was going to be dropped completely for Unlimited customers if they re-use their glasses. It seems not! :mad:
Glad it's not me then
So us Unlimited customers aren't saving much at all really?! It's daft. I wouldnt mind paying say an extra £1 if I took my own glasses but to only save 20p whether or not I took my own pair its not really worth it.
Yeah, it's not really what we were hoping for (ie. 'free' or a lot less)
Whatever the pricing though, it's no excuse for people to yell at you though... That's just not on. The bloody head honcho's that dream these prices up should be the ones getting the earache...
Think I'll just stick with the 2D alternatives for now, unless it's something I really want to see in 3D...
it cost £1.30 + 80p so £2.10 in total.
not exactly a 'saving' on the £1.50 they were previously charging
At my cineworld they only let you in to the film you are watching 5 minutes before the start time. So unless the 3D film starts at pretty much the same time you are screwed.
Secondly it has 14 screens, 7 each side of the foyer. And unless you know which screen is showing what film, you can bet you'll be on the opposite side to the 3D one! sods law really :rolleyes:
i didnt think A Christmas Carol was showing anywhere until tomorrow.
