Vue as just opened a new cinema in bury, and if you want to watch a film in their largest screen (Called Extreme) there is now a £1.00 per Adult surcharge. There is no info on the site on just how big this screen is but based on the number of seats (370) it is smaller than it's nearest rival Odeon Rochdale, which largest screen holds 469 seats. Dietrich Bonhoeffer Discipulado Pdf here. Clearly there are trying to cash in on the success of Imax screens while not having no make the financial commitment that an Imax screen requires!!! I just wish the general public would refuse to pay these extra charges that keep being added to the cinema cost (Seats / 3D etc etc), and then cinema's would have no choice but to revert back to a single price.But I think that's wishful thinking on my part!!!
Seems Cinema's have fallen for the No1 way to kill your own business. If numbers Fall, raise prices to increase revenue. Higher Prices push more cusomters away so they Raise Prices even higher. So few Customers now come the Cinema has to shut down.
They really need to understand that with the advent of Big Screen TV's and HD Blue Rays, people are not going to pay over the top to visit the cinema when its cheaper to wait a few months and buy the movie on BluRay. Lower the damn ticket prices and the price of the food! £4 for 30 pence of stale corn is not value for money.
I now take my own food and drink when ever I go to the movies. Yes - I only go to the cinema occasionally because of the cost.
I go on a Wednesday with my best friend and we split the orange wednesday 50-50 so it costs about £3.50 each, thats in the daytime. This way if we want to have food (extortion again) we can, but we're going less and less. 5 times a year if that, I'd say. I normally wait for the DVD. The local cinema has gotten a bit meh. In terms of projection quality sadly.
The best cinema I've ever been too was on Paington Sea Front. I paid £4 for my ticket to see Inglourious Basterds. The projection quality was great on both video and sound, I had ample leg room and the overall surroundings were clean and tidy. They do it on Tuesdays, any film, any time. £4 - and less then £5 for my popcorn. Nice little holiday treat that! Click to expand.Makes sense although I am sure they would argue that inflation is included in the £8 or so tickets for the small screen (due to less people going to the cinema?).
Though in all fairness I can't remember the last time I saw a film at the cinema with a good picture and good sound - they just don't seem to know how to set it up properly, especially the sound. That's why I only go maybe 4-5 times a year and I'm not too bothered about the price, because I rarely go. I can see how people who go regularly would get irritated by the high prices and bad experience. I usually shell out for the premium seats, not just because of the extra room but it also reduces the chances of having chavs in your immediate vicinity, I always seem to get the gobby idiots who spends half the film talking and texting otherwise. I actually got a refund after going to an Odeon a couple of years ago when I complained that the Super Luxury seat I paid for didn't meet the description, one of the arms was about to fall off and there was a slimy sheen of hair grease and dirt on the back of the seat and you could have planted spuds on the arm rests.
