Vue here a pair of adult tickets set me back £9.98 including booking and choice of seats so that's £4.99 each.

Odeon is £13 each so it's nearly 3x the price of Vue.
Family ticket for us at Odeon recently was £75, that includes kid popcorn.

Same deal at Vue £25... Its outrageous

Only £3.50 at my local and £4.50 sat and sun🤫

Madness. We don't go to the cinema often, but I wouldn't go anywhere other than a Vue now. The difference is staggering considering it's the same product.

The Vue near to me is £4.99 7 days a week now, you can use your Meerkat code on Tuesdays nd Wednesdays as well so it becomes £2.50 per person in effect if two of you go.

It will be interesting to see how this works for them. By reducing their prices we now go to the cinema far more than we used to. We will take a punt on a £5 film whereas £20 for 2 made us think carefully about what to see. All 4 of us go, yikes. I'm sure Vue's take from us is up so by reducing prices they have increased sales. Whether this works with other people will be the key. If not it will go back to £10 per person and my trips to the cinema will drop again.
 
I had no idea Vue had regional pricing, Vue is the only cinema in newbury, its about 13 quid a ticket. I have a discount via my bank, so its 6.50, so doesnt bother me, but thats mental!

Same here LT, love a new release of a film but often decided to wait due to cinema pricing. Especially when it was a kids film as it was near on a day's wage time you factored in food and parking etc. Now with Vue we can and do often go even if we're unsure of the film because it so affordable.

Interesting. So I guess the reason our Vue's are half the price of the other local cinemas is because they set it that way on purpose to price them out. If Vue is the only cinema they don't have to. :LOL:

Nope! I’m an amateur detailer so know what’s what. Except that during a wash cycle one of my towels and/or wash mitt reintroduced them. Turns out paint is very soft and the paint protection I have wasn’t good enough. Won’t take much from DA to correct, just have to do it again and protect properly.

I find Swisswax cleaner wax does an excellent job of taking them and other marks out:)

Cinema prices... why are Cineworld and Odeon twice the price of Vue cinemas?? Don't they all do exactly the same thing?

Exactly this.

Missus was a cinema manager before becoming a regional auditor for em and the prices variations are crazy.

Basic prices can vary from £5 to £20. Then you add prices for 3d, imax or premium movies (basically marvel/Disney).

Usually the more cinemas on a close location the better (for the public). Live somewhere remote and your buggered!
 
Waiting for an email that my new irons have been despatched. I know it won't happen before next Wednesday minimum, but every time my phone goes bing, I am hopeful, only to be dashed.
 
People that post on social media they've found the one, the love of their lives whilst posting their 6th different relationship of the year. Feel like saying ok Janice jump off the slut bus and maybe keep it under wraps until you make it past at least the 3 day mark with one of the poor victims..
