    Depends where and to a certain extent, when.

    I'd guess around £8.50 for an evening showing. (Haven't been myself for ages.)

    Well it depends on the local area. Around here it is £7.40 for an adult ticket at Cineworld, but you get 10% off if you book online. I don't think that is too bad.

    In some parts of London £15 for an adult ticket is not unusual.

    Was £9 (including discount) for DH to see the Led Zeppelin film at our local Cineworld. :eek:

    Too much.

    You turn out (probably in the dark/rain/cold), drive (£3), park (£3-5), walk to the cinema, queue, buy a ticket £X, can't hear the film because there are annoying/loud/giggling people around or sweetie wrapper rustlers..... you sit in an uncomfy chair for 2-3 hours, then go out into the cold, hope the car's not been banged/stolen and drive home.

    Much better to stay in and get a takeaway.

    There are a number of cinemas in my town, just looked them up/prices: £7.80, £7.50, £8.00.
  • Was more shocked about the film Taken 2 than the price of the ticket.....total pants.


    Oh paid £5.40 for two tickets on Orange Wednesday.

    Last time I took my 2 boys to the cinema I believe it cost around £40 for the 3 of us including an overpriced drink and some overpriced sweets!

    If you compare the price with a similar experience price eg theatre, gig, football match etc. I still think its the cheapest entertainment option
