Expensive Cinema

I paid £21 for one adult and two children to see a 3D movie last week in Omagh.

On another thread about Co. Fermanagh one adult and two kids £18 (not specified 3D or not)

So lets name and shame. Cinema prices both 3D and non 3D please!

    I am aware of the cinema in Omagh you mean, it's one of the few independant cinemas left in NI. Was the £21 just for tickets?

    Yep, £21 for one adult and two kids! 3D though.

    Just edited to say:

    Looking at their website, they've charged me for three adults. My kids are 13 and 14 but their child rate is for under 12. Also they only charge the child rate when the film is U or PG. The film I went to see was 12A, so any kid being brought to that film will be charged as an adult.

    1 adult £10.70 for a 3D film.

    Then they have the cheek to charge 80p for the glasses so £11.50 in total.

    Rarely go these days. My home setup is much better + I can watch in my birthday suit.

    £21, that's very cheap, same would cost me £33 + if before 5pm or £35+ after 5pm. And I don't live in a big city, I live a wee 2 bit town with only 1 cinema in the local area for miles

    £35! I just wouldn't go at that price. In fact I'm not sure I'll go again at £21 either!

    I don't go LOL. Too expensive. It costs £6.80 (or £8.60 after 5m) per adult, but then they add £2.60 for it being 3D and another 80p for the glasses. So haven't been to the cinema in a long long time.

    Yes it was for a 3D film. I handed the girl £20 & got no change as I needed 2 booster seats for the kids!! As I mentioned in the Co. Fermanagh thread the cinema in Coleraine was only £13 for a 3D film & the booster seats are sitting at every door so you can just pick them up!

    this is where I am so thankful for our little independent cinema. £2.50 an adult during the week, £3.50 at the weekend and £4 for 3d. Bargain
