Cinema tickets getting a bit pricey aren't they?

My local cinema is independently owned, it's £5.50 but they do Orange Wednesdays and it has a much nicer atmosphere than the big chains

you may soon be paying the new price i reckon, i signed up in 2008 and i think then it was less than £13.50 and since i signed up the price has gone up to £13.50 then £14.99

I took my contract out in September 2010 so I will pay £13.50 until September 2011

Vue Finchley Road (NW london) £10.75 + £1 booking fee. And £9 car parking fee.

They can shove that right up their divx

Coffee ... everywhere! Damn you!

It's nearing the tipping point for me now. It's usually an Orange Wednesday job when we go, but when these sorts of things happen;

[W]ho wants to pay £8 for one ticket to go to have a bunch of chavs texting and calling their friends on their mobile throughout the movie.

Getting my seat kicked from behind by morons; idiots who can't cope without looking at their brightly lit mobiles, noisy sweet wrappers and popcorn chewing, and then there's the whisperers.

I always think I'd be better downloading a pirate copy and watching it in the (quiet) comfort of my own home ... I'll just sit a bit closer to the telly!

the Great Northern building is really eerie and dead generally other than the cinema... when are any shops going to open in there?!

I can't imagine anything opening there in the current climate. That end of Deansgate is fairly quiet at the best of times, hardly a leisure destination is it?

I hardly ever go now, way too expensive. If we do go, I take in our own cans of coke! I priced up those better seats for a film recently and it was £30 for 2!!

We saw Water for Elephants at Odeon in Brighton recently. We used 241 Orange Wednesdays, and it was still £9.xx as we paid the extra £1 for the slightly better seats, which is chargeable x 2.

I wait for DVD more often than not

I stopped going to the cinema years ago. I either wait for the film to appear as a discount DVD or for it to appear on TV.

They are bit pricey, thats why i have an unlimited card as i only have to see 2 films a month and ive already got my moneys worth so the more films i see more value i get form it, i try to see 1 a week but it depends what films are out

Way over the tipping point for me, I just don't go any more unless the OH persuades me (went to see Thor a few weeks ago, and that took some persuading... even though he was paying and it was an orange weds! :rotfl:)

I just object to the whole thing really
