Cinema ticket prices.

[Neversoft]

Since ticket prices seem so varied, I was just wondering what you guys pay to watch a movie at your local/nearest cinema.

I pay £7.10, but can get a ticket for £5.40 with my student card. But that is still a lot...
My friend went to see a movie in Leicester Square yesterday and said the ticket was something like £14!? And then theres the food, damn...

So, how much are the tickets wherever you are?

£7 or so here too. What sucks is how quickly cinema prices have risen. Someone showed me two tickets, one to the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, costing £3.50 and another to the latest which was about £7.50.

And lol @ the prices of food. My teacher got loads of food from one, thinking it'd be £5 or something and it ended up costing her £14..

All depends on the quality of the cinema I guess, and obviously the quality of the film.

Probably not. That day I bought a McDonalds in but never bought a drink, so...

I think it depends on what day it is... like sundays are cheaper.

Here it's like $11 or something for a ticket for adults
for kids under a certain age I dunno what it is.

Well all Cineworlds around the UK have the same ticket prices, just like all other cinemas have their own statutory rates. They don't change depending on your area, the prices are permanent, hence the feature of online booking.

Oh, and if you want to avoid paying the adult ticket price and you're a student without a card, just buy student tickets online and the only person you have to see is the guy standing by the screens, who presumes that you've been to the box office already. It also beats underage viewing.

Well all the prices people have posted so far have been different... and it will be interesting to see how much it costs in America and other places. Plus theres more than one kind of cinema.

And I know I could just buy the tickets online. The only films I've payed £7.10 to see were 18s since if i show my student card they would know I'm underage. You speak like I've never been to the cinema before. :S The guy you have to show your ticket to before you enter still questions peoples age.

I'd prefer it if we went back to the original topic now.
