How much are cinema tickets at your local independent cinema?

[Part 2]

Previous thread is 13 years old.

I appreciate ticket prices may have increased for whatever reason over the past two years but Home in Manchester have increased ticket quite considerably by adding a charge to book online and I'm considering buying a pass for Cineworld for £16.99 a month for the next three months to see me through winter instead.

I'm interested in how prices compare to your local.

Prices below are subject to an additional £1.20/ticket if booked in advance by phone or online. Membership costs £30/year and gets you 2 free cinema tickets.

Off peak (before 17:00 Mon – Fri, before 15:00 Sat & Sun)
Full £7.95 / concs £5.95
Member full £6.45 / concs £4.95


Peak (after 17:00 Mon – Fri, after 15:00 Sat & Sun)
Full £9.95 / concs £7.95
Member full £7.95 / concs £6.45

Sounds like Genesis?...my son just started working there.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

£6.50 for a standard ticket (not old, student, child etc).

I'm a Friend so get a quid off my ticket every time I buy one.

Yes! Describe him, I'll go up and tell him I know his parents off the internet

 

[souljacker]

£6.50 or £5 for kids at the excellent Reading Biscuit Factory. They do all sorts of deals and memberships too so it's often cheaper. They also sell beer from the Double Barrelled brewery.

Rio in Dalston , not too bad , I've fallen out of the habit of going, will make more of an effort in 23.

A £1.20 charge for booking in advance seems a bit deranged - what's their justification?

Fwiw I hear on the grapevine that home is totally fucked financially, and the city council is having to pump loads of cash into it to keep its doors open

Don't think there is one round here either.

 

[DaveCinzano]

I just checked what prices are currently at my old local neighbourhood indie, the Cube Microplex: mostly £5, sometimes less (with £1 life membership)

 

[newme]

Don't think there is one round here either.

To my knowledge there has never been since I lived here, which is most of my nearly 40 years....

No idea, it just appeared all of a sudden but it won't encourage people to go. I expect a large percentage of tickets are booked in advance. Their funding problems don't surpirse me either it's been dead in there a few time I've been in this year and a mate workes in the kitchens and said once Saturday night they had 8 people in. Can't see it improving when Factory opens in Summer.

 

[Sasaferrato]

We don't have an independent, we have Vue which is currently a fiver.

Nice to see that they save you a bit.

We don't have an independent, we have Vue which is currently a fiver.

Vue used to be £5 for every screening here but they put loads of fancy chairs in and bumped up the prices.

Aye, you can pay more for a better seat.

 

[Orang Utan]

The Hyde Park Picture House charges between £7 and £9 depending on concessions.
Not independent but Vue Cinemas are very cheap. Weirdly the best seats are the cheapest at £6.99. The most expensive are the worst and are £8.99
