£42 excluding popcorn/coke/nachos etc just for 3 people.

im a bit surprised theyre allowed to charge this much.


do you think theyre right to charge this amount of money for a film?

LOL.

Yea right im going to go and pay that much to see it in a cinema.

I'll wait 6 months and have it on Blu-ray for £20.

Ridiculous!

Except the only point in Avatar was to showcase the 3D technology, which of course you can't see at home.

Whats right nd wrong has nothing to do with it, business is all about supply and demand and if the demand meets the supply at this price then thats what they will sell it for. If you don't like the price don't go.

I don't go to the cinema anymore unless I'm using orange wednesdays and student discounts

JEBUS thats crazy price for 3 people I thought 12 quid was terrible to go to an IMAX in the nicer seats.

Avatar is coming out on blu-ray in 3d next year.

I recently paid £12 to see Toy Story in 3d as a student. London is such a rip off - Showcase in Leicester is the finest cinema Ive ever been to in terms of comfyness, your view and the size of the screens yet a student ticket is just £5.50!

If you're willing to pay it then they're absolutely right to charge that amount. Sucks, but that's how it is.

I paid less than £10 back in January though, seems very high wherever you're buying from.

So, would you still go and pay that amount of money for 3D?

02 center in london.

Well you are paying for the 3D experience.

 

[rypt]

Well you are paying for the 3D experience.

What, for a pair of £1 goggles?

The extra hardware requirements do not justify the increased costs

Seems vastly overpriced, only costs me the equivalent of like £5 over here to see a 3D film.

I'm guessing the price is high since they know people will pay it.

 

[reflux]

£42 between three people for a night out is hardly a lot. I agree the cinema is ludicrously expensive these days but it could be worse.

Unfortunately back home in Aberdeen it's like £9 or £10 for 3D

It is worth it if you go to an IMAX cinema.

 

[vectisitch]

if like me you have a family of 5.then when you take into account the tickets,popcorn and a meal out to make it a nice night out then your talking 100 quid.
