odeon on a monday - £4.95
empire on a tuesday - £3.95

can also get student tickets for £5-6 at multiplexes, any time.

the local independent (who were charging £15.50 for the livestream event) charge £6.25 for students, £9.75 (!) for adults. they’re also registered charity and they always are asking for an extra 50p for things. e.g. when they got rid of a well-loved coffee shop to make room for another bar of their owm and put some fairy lights/social cleansed the alleyway leading up to them because it was ‘scary’ (an area used for years and years by homeless people for shelter, still a stonesthrow from the point they gather at to meet for hot food and drink every evening).

You and me too blud :punch:

Loads of places do this sort of thing, don’t they? Like “pay £9 like a regular cheapskate, or pay £10 charity donation and we can gift-aid the lot!”… I’m sure there’s some reason that they do it (to do with the mechanisms of charitable donation) but I just wish they’d simply charge a flat fee for everyone and stop guilting me.

No, that’s young Barbican.

Students tickets are for anyone with a student card: http://www.barbican.org.uk/film/special-offers

I’m an Unlimited Wanker mate.

PeckhamPlex is a fiver all the time.
Greenwich Picturehouse is a small fortune but very nice

Still can’t work out where this actually is despite almost being able to see it from my window.

#27

Sounds awful. I hate students.

I paid £9 yesterday for Mulholland Drive, but I don’t know if they charge more for new films. It’s an independent not an Odeon or Picturehouse - I think the Odeon is well over a tenner.

indie cinema: £6.70 standard, £4 on mondays

bigger cinema: £6.50 standard, £4.90 matinees, £3.50 on tuesdays (and for ‘morning matinees’ - imagine going to the cinema IN THE MORNING)

My local cinema was hit in a robbery worth £1,360 last week

#31

The cineworld I go to is over £11 I think. But got an unlimited card to it’s £free minus £17/month.

it always just seems to be for match funding for new screens or bars. they have kiosks on every floor and a bar/restaurant, bar/coffee shop and tearooms, all of which are not really reasonably priced in comparison to the rest of the city centre. they don’t even do proper popcorn. they do run a filmmaking scheme for kids and teenagers, but they charge quite a bit for it. also they have artists in residence, but i’m pretty sure they’re sponsored by the arts council, unis and the european film development fund or whatever.

oh yeah they have ‘front of house volunteers’ alongside their actual paid staff. saving a few bob there.

#33

Yeah, without wanting to sound like the Mail On Sunday, there’s a lot about charity funding that makes me go * chin scratching emoji that I can’t find *

Walthamstow Empire’s £3.95 on Tuesdays. Tend to max out on that.

Although massively missing Orange Wednesdays. Wednesday seems the right day to go to the cinema. Tuesday doesn’t feel quite right.

#35

Mile End Genesis is £4.50 a throw also for the standard screens. Their website seems to be down an awful lot though.

#36

give the meerkats £2.50 to insure yourself for a ‘daytrip’ that you don’t leave the country for (and also isn’t real) = 2 for 1 on tuesdays AND wednesdays for a year

Bit of a pain for us to get up to there while the GOBLIN is shut at the moment.

Is it crowded and noisy on a Tuesday? I used to avoid Orange Wednesdays for that reason.

#38

Yeah we’re right next to Leyton tube so just get a bus up there.

And no, it’s always been dead quiet! We’ve been loads of times and on 2/3 occasions we’ve been the only people in the screening. Although I think that’s more representative of our film choices than anything (and we tend to catch films later in the cycle than in the first week or so).

Never had a problem on Orange Wednesdays either really with crowds etc. either but we used to major on the Hackney Picturehouse and Dalston Rio for that. Imagine some of your Vue cinemas would’ve been dreadful.
