| Quote: | Event Cinema offer is valid between Wed 27 April and Wed 11 May 2011
When you select your movie and enter promotional code "BONUS" - it allows you to select up to 10 tickets for $9.50 with the standard $1.10 online booking fee - so tickets come to $10.60 each.
Not valid for 'Water for Elephants" or Gold Class. Standard surcharges apply for 3D, Vmax and 3D Vmax sessions. |
I refused to go watch sucker punch for $24 for a VMax session (ended up paying $3 more for IMAX) so this $10.10 deal is pretty great.
FAST5
SCREAM4
THOR
here i come.

Wait... $10.10 is a discount price?! I'm not trying to sound like a douche, but I can't imagine paying that much to see a movie, even without a discount. Movie prices be crazy indeed.

Are you some sort of shifty student?
Adult Event Cinema tickets at a "Megaplex" are $18. There's a reason why I've barely seen any movies at the cinemas since I left uni.

we may have expensive coffee, but at least the WA brand cinemas are only $10 for adults. (if you buy a $20/year membership - which comes with a bunch of vouchers worth that much anyway.)

We paid $24.50 to see Thor in 3D on a "Extreme" screen at Hoyts.
Frigging joke.

Paying to see Thor, or just paying that much to see Thor... ?
Also, um... could someone please explain the OP? I have *no idea* where, how, or when these cheap tickets are available. Is it simply a Village cinemas deal when purchasing tickets online, or... ?

I'm guessing it means if you're booking online?
@Theory
Just out of brissie.
We have http://www.cineplex.com.au/. There 8.50 for an adult ticket or 11.00 for a 3D movie.
I'm beginning to think I'd be a lot more discerning about the movies I see if I was paying 25 bucks a pop for a ticket.
Shit I go to the movies every weekend, I think I'd have to cut back if it was that much.

There are so many $10 ticket offers flying around these days, I hardly ever pay the $20 or so that they ask for for a normal session. Last 3D session I went to cost me $13 too. *shrug*

I honestly have no idea, since it's 8.50 standard I never even bother looking for offers

I usally pay $13.50, so anything under that price sounds good to me.

It was this price for VMAX sucker punch. And that wasn't even 3D. I was like WTF is this shit. So terrible. I bought 14+ tokens during the event promo in january and was so used to the $7+$1.10 price that when suckerpunch rolled around and it was $24 per person. I was like WTTTTTTFFF!!!!
I love going to the cinema but I'm not paying that much.

Whats up with the $1.10 online booking fee.
I can never figure it out, we are saving them money and time by booking online and yet we pay for it?

That actually makes some amount of sense seeing as I'm pretty sure when it comes to concert tickets, that's the ONLY money Ticketmaster get out of it, the ticket money goes to the manager/promoter/whatever.

I only ever go to the cinema on monday/tuesday or when tickets are less than $10.

Same as Benza, Cineplex is amazing. My local is (was?) the one at Victoria Point. I do have a student card, which last time got me a ticket for like $6, but it's only $2 more or something for an adult ticket. $10 is where I draw the line on going to the cinema (without food/drink) unless it's a really special occasion.

We used to go to the South Bank one on Thursday nights whenever a particularly crap new movie would come out. $8.50 for a night with friends and paying out a shit movie? Bargain.
Haven't really found a comparable cinema in terms of price and quality in Melbourne.

Oath. The victoria point one is the best of the lot of them due to being newest too. It's just a much better experience full stop, even if you don't take the price into account.
