    I’m the most skint out of my mates but we don’t like to miss an Orange Wednesday, we went YESTERDAY basically I worked out that Orange Wednesdays are the cheapest day of the week to go to if you’re a student (Ticket costs £4.50 + 8.5p for the text) it works out to be £4.585 so I round it to £4.60 and it works out to be £2.30 each, that is cheap for the real cinema experience.

    NOW ORANGE HAVE STARTED GETTING GREADY (GET YOU MARKET AND THEN EXPLOIT IT). AN EXTRA 35P IN ORDER TO SAY ‘YES’ THAT YOU WANT A TICKET, IF YOU DIDN’T WANT THE TICKET IN THE FIRST PLACE, WHY WOULD YOU SEND ‘FILM TO 241’.

    So its £4.60 + 35p = £4.95 so now I round it to £5.00 and its £2.50 EACH. That’s another 40p.

    Going to watch Superman next Wednesday, its good to plan a week a head especially when you Money Saving.

    You won't be able to cancel your contract because of this no chance. But if Orange keep doing silly stuff like this (remember the itemised billing has gone up to £1.50) you might have a chance, you will need to really construct your argument.

    Like the Idea but I’m sorry.

    I have an old Orange OVP Virgin tariff. I rarely spend more than £1 to £2 a month, but I have always been able to get an Orange Wednesday ticket in the past. Have they changed this recently?

    It hasn't changed for you, as you have a contract, albeit a no minimum charge per month one.

    At the end of the day you might be money saving but I feel that Orange are trying to take advantage here, ie as I have said before find a market and then exploit it.

    Thanks all

    Hi Edinburghlass,

    Well if you go alone no money saving there unless you wanted two seats? ;)

    Thanks

    BTW "I wrote the comment in a different context Edinburghlass, ie you are already money saving"

    The Free Cinema Ticket is complimentary and has a zero cash value.
    Orange are charging 35p to deliver it to you.If you need it you have got to be saving money.
