Cheapest and most expensive cinema tickets in the UK

Options
What is the cheapest cinema in your area, and what is the most expensive? For the comparison, the price should be for seeing a film when most people are able to ie. in the evening or on a weekend, not the cheaper tickets some cinemas offer in the morning or afternoon. Also should be for current releases, not kids clubs or older films. Here's mine:

Cheapest: Peckham Multiplex (Peckham, London) £3.99 About two years ago when I first went there it was £2.50, then £2.99, last summer was £3.50 and now it's £3.99. Still cheap and they take part in Orange Wednesdays, and don't mind you taking ice cream and drinks in from the McDonalds opposite

Expensive: Apollo West End (Regent Street, London) £12.50 Markets itself as luxurious but apparently the screens are on the small side. I've never seen any customers going in or out of it!

  • Cheapest: Showcase Cinema Manchester £3.75. Nice quiet cinema, with seats that rock back and forth... you can rock yourself to sleep :)

    Expensive: Odeon Trafford Centre £6.50. Standard cinema nothing special.

    Orange Wednesdays, Do you have to have an orange contract to use it?
  • No, just any Orange Pay as You Go Sim will work.

    Worth getting one even if you only use the offer once as the Sims go so cheap now.

    Not sure about the most expensive, but we have a Cineworld here in Nottingham too. £3 per ticket every day before midday, this works with Orange Wednesdays too. Can't complain at £1.50 a ticket!
  • Just been to showcase in Nottingham at midday cost £17 for 2 adults and 2 children !! £ 4.25 each , should of found out the cineworld .
  • Showcase in Paisley offer this deal too - think its £16 herebut don't advertise it. I say a guy in front of me being charged full price for 2 adults & 2 kids with SA offering family ticket. I very kindly pointed out to him.

    Also - if you were to book the same tickets on line it would cost £22 !!
    . FEB GC £255.82£240 :mad::mad::mad:
    MAR GC 230.46/ £240 :T:T
    APRIL GC 237.84/ £230 :(:(:(

    I've got to add Prince Charles Cinema to the list. Films and prices vary, but for the West End a bargain.
