    £7.50 is cheap, which cinema do you go to? I'm paying between 8 and 10 or more if I want Imax or 3D

    I think they will bring in some sort of a streaming offer but I cant see it being anywhere near as good.

    £6.50 at my local, popcorn £1 bag, big bags haribo £1 , in fact they are just normal shop prices on confectionery and drinks :) its the one cinema i go to that i dont sneak my own food and drinks into

    AFAIK the deal brought in customers on the cinemas least busy day, whilst promoting the phone company.

    Why take away a win-win combo??

    I got an email from vie saying they are doing 2 for 1 for films that are nearly coming off the cinema. Not ideal for new releases but wonder if this is how they will do it instead. Plus groupon keep doing odeon cheap tickets so I think it might open up a whole host of other offers
    :T:T :beer: :beer::beer::beer: to the lil one :) :beer::beer::beer:

    I put wrong detail in last one. Vue used to have offers in a Tuesday if I remember right though

    I doubt the new owners of EE will want a load of existing special offers to honour when they take over.

    Goodbye Orange, goodbye EE, hallo BT.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Our local cinema is £4 a ticket, Wednesdays were a bargain. There are no big cinema chains near us so I liked this offer, oh well.
    Hopefully they will replace it with something just as useful...
    [STRIKE]CC1: £354.35 / £354.35[/STRIKE]
    CC2: £390 / £1475.98
    Boiler: £1500 / £2500
    [STRIKE]Overdraft: £1000 / £1000[/STRIKE]
    Emergency Fund : £20

    Anybody know if this could be used as grounds to break contract?

    I just joined EE in October 2014 on a 24 month contract despite them costing extra and having the worst signal of any provider in my area, specifically for the 2for1 offer and I was specifically told I would always have that.

    Feel really screwed over by them right now :(

    Unlikely since its a 'free' perk of being a customer, so unless you had something in writing that confirmed it; whilst also checking that the small print didn't say that such an offer could be withdrawn.. but im sure orange would have made there decision knowing the full impact on any customers T&C's...

    Why did you go with EE if they are more expensive and the worst signal in your area, that's a bad move, could have got a sim only deal.
