I loved Baby Driver. My fav movie this year so far. Great cast of actors, great soundtrack and it all worked really well

But i was surprised at how many people were actually buying food from the cinema (as people were discussing the a page back), it was in Camden so plenty of shops to buy food/drinks nearby, but people seemed happy to fork over £5 for popcorn and a bag of sweets... I just don't understand why when the tickets are £11 minimum (damn London).

Also lol at getting a 2 for £12 voucher when buying my tickets, then seeing it excludes Dunkirk, tight bastards. Will probably see Planet of the Apes then. Save Dunkirk for the IMAX.

£11? I paid £16.50 to watch Dunkirk yesterday at the Odeon.

I've been to the cinema a lot over the past month and noticed that the prices differ a lot depending on the film, day and time. Also if you go to Vue you can get free popcorn by completing their online survey. Just Google free popcorn Vue. You are supposed to buy a drink with it but 4 out of the 5 times I haven't been asked to. You can complete the survey as many times as you want. With the same email address and get a different voucher each time. As I say I've done this 5 times in the 6 ish weeks.

I usually go to Cineworld, but they just jacked up there prices and charged me £5 for a year of their "online booking discount", which was normally free.

I've discovered Odeon Wester Hailes are cheap as chips. £5.50 a ticket, any movie any time. Plus I can get 2 for 1 tickets with the Merkat Movies app.

London?

Whenever I'm getting the discount Odeon codes through my work you have to select whether it's for inside or outside of the M25 :lol:

Indeed. There's a London tax and a blockbuster tax Odeon like to add-on.

Vue - £6.99
Odeon - £5
Cineworld - £6.10

Vue is a bit more expensive, but they have the best seats which all are recliners seats with no charge at all. Also, I have a CEA Card* which I can get one ticket for £0 so we can pay half for one ticket which is good thing for me, my family or friends who can share with me. :datass:

Cineworld is very good and I don't know why I always like their inside layout.

Odeon is worst of all and their seats are so cramp! It's difficult to watch if it's a full packed and the people's heads are always in the way in front of me. :x

*CEA Card. For those who is wondering what it is and it's a discount card for the people with disabilities - https://www.ceacard.co.uk/

Where are these big chain cinema's that people are getting tickets for £5-7? I live in Northampton it's not exactly an affluent area but both Vue and cinema here charge between £9 and £12 quid for an adult ticket depending on the time and day. Is it solely about the lack of an independent cinema pushing down prices?

Cardiff had Vue, Odeon, Cineworld and Premiere, a budget cinema. This is why Vue went down to £4 I think.

The differences in prices are amazing. I can get student discount prices due to a work deal but I went to see Dunkirk today and it still cost £8.95.

Cardiff has amazing cinema prices compared to Bristol. Premiere Cinema and Vue do films for £4. I saw Spiderman at Showcase Bristol Cinema de Lux last weekend and it cost £10.50...

Shin Godzilla (2016) is getting a showing at Odeon Metro Centre on Thursday August 10th at 8.15pm. An excellent Godzilla movie with the most striking Godzilla design for years. Very hard movie to see as licensing issues means few Godzilla movies make it to the UK.

Welcome. I have one for myself and it saved me some money with the cinema tickets.

I need renew it as my discount card will be running out next month.

You have hopefully saved me a fair few quid, so again thanks very much.
