Cinema Prices

Cinema Prices

How expensive?

£7.45 in Leeds for a single. what the fuck? i can buy a cocking DVD for that price. According to a mate who works at the Metro Centre one, it's going up there to £7.50 this summer as well

what a rip off - i love going to the cinema but these recent price hikes take the piss.

fleecing us like this - hurrah for torrents

Do you watch much cocking?

:spangled:

You're justifying theft for your own leisure purposes?

more than you'd imagine to be honest...

£11 a month - unlimited trips to the pics Its my second home lol

Empire at the Gate is £6.40 now.

It is very expensive really...even a student is £5.60

Companies are always whining about piracy but what do they expect when the cost of going to the cinema is constantly going up?!

Do you not think the reason cinema prices go up is because of piracy? The increase in pirate films results in an increase in price to try and recuperate the lost profit. Add that to inflation and maybe that gives you the reason behind it the high rises.

The cinemas I go to cost about £6, I think that's not a bad price to pay, it's the beverages and confectionary that cost a fucking bomb.:evil:

Simple answer........



ORANGE WEDNESDAYS!

I work at a cinema and even I admit it's a total rip off.

The reason the Box Office prices are so high is because a company such as Odeon makes almost no money from ticket sales, it goes to the distributors who essentially "hire" the films out to cinemas.

The majority of Odeons profit comes from the retail/food stands, which is why they push food so much and why the food prices are expensive too.

You still can't beat watching a film on the big screen though, which is why the majority of people still pay the scandalous prices.

Re: Cinema Prices

Mt best mate works at the metro centre pics its a dive how can they charge you that much just to sit and watch a film luckily I get in for free

It makes sense to get what I have, if you can. You only have to go twice a month and youve made your money back. It also makes me laugh that my cinema charges DOUBLE the price for sweets, drinks and popcorn than Asda next door. I always take my own in.

don't belive the hype. piracy has been around for years

big budget action films are totally a cinema experience.

it used to be an inexpensive treat to go to the flicks - cheap saturday afternoon fun - now it's ridiculously high

Also, if films are still raking in hundreds of millions at the box office around the world and the film costs like 20 mil to make, theres still a MASSIVE profit, regardless of piracy. Greed.

you've got the best idea - monthly ticket

might go for the monthly ticket lark!

i remember when it used to be £3.20

Yeah, but ten years ago all you could get was the odd pirate video which cost about £7. Now with high speed internet and cheap copying equipment, everyone does it.

i remember ET on pirate video, EVERYONE on our street had it.

admittedly, i'm not denying nowadays it's easier to do, for people with a bit of kit and half a brain.

exactly!

Weds evenings are the only time i go. Seeing as every other day costs me double.
