    Once I was in a Vue cinema and it was so hot I thought I was going to burst into flames. Everyone around me was dying, fanning themselves, gasping for water, writing wills, etc.

    I crawled out and asked the 'staff member' (12 year old) if the heating could be turned down. 'No,' she said 'it's controlled from London. We can't change it. We know it's set a bit high because people have been leaving but there's nothing we can do'. !!!!!!??

    Well, you can try, but chances are she'll be cross with you.

    Are you certain that you weren't actually in a leisure centre and had wandered into the sauna? :)

    Sadly there were no semi-naked men. It was a PG, fgs! How inappropriate!

    Strange. You can't move for semi-naked men in my local cinema.

    Or was it a gay bar...

    I went to the vue cinema with my two kids and they gave me two seats for 3 of us I had to go purchase another seat and wait 20 minutes for the manager to change it at which point we had missed the beginning of the film! They refused to let us go see the later showing

    Is it illegal?

    No of course it isn't. They can charge you £2,000 for a bag of popcorn if they want, it is entirely within your power to decline.

    A listed price is simply an 'invitation to treat'. Put simply they are listing the price that they would like to sell a particular product at, they can decide to put the price up at the point of transaction, put the price down, or even change what product is being offered at that price. Providing that they inform of this change (which they did) before the transaction then they are not in breach of any laws.
