How true! lol

[dorgasm]

12 quid I am actually gob smacked like no joke that is extortionate!! Down in my local cinema, it's €9 for the ticket and then you'd pay €6 for a popcorn and drink, which I still thought is pretty bad, since I've worked at that very cinema and I know how little cost and effort goes into actually making the popcorn! What's even worse is seeing people on here actually defending this sort of rape! Ridiculous!!!

What's ridiculous is calling it "rape", it is entirely consensual, just like so many of these "rip-offs".

Well I, personally, find it to be rape anyway! Like with so little to do (without resorting to drink), some people just have no choice but to go to the cinema and pay these prices! When I was 15 or 16, me and my friends used to hate having to pay so much just for a night in the cinema, and if we wanted popcorn and a drink we had to pay it! What's worse is that there used to be a ban on food bought outside the cinema !

UCI's are €9.25 for a large combo

Was in Sarajevo last week while on holidays. Got a large popcorn,large coke and a ticket to see Robin Hood all for the equivalent of €5...

We are getting completely screwed in Ireland but there doesnt seem to be any value coming in the cinema. They know that with less people going out drinking etc that the cinema will always be busy and can charge crazy prices

Storm cinema charging €12.50 for 1 x popcorn and drink???
Before the trolls get ripped into me, I didn't pay for it, but this form is for rip offs and to make other members aware of potential rip offs!
12.50???? Us Irish need to stand up for ourselves! We bloody well pay ridiculous prices without questioning them, and as such companies will keep charging extortionate prices!
Incidentally 12.50 is more than Eddy Rockets charge for an atomic burger with fries and coke (10.50)!!!!
sort it Storm!!!!!!

I know for a fact a large popcorn and coke in storm cinema is 9.25 not 12.50.....Not saying 9.25 is much better but you are mistaken

[sashafierce]

I happen to have a good knowledge of storm cinema and even though i am not defending their prices at all 12.50 is the price of a candy combo which includes Large drink (1 litre to be exact) a very large popcorn , and bag of sweets!! Not a popcorn combo! So i dont think its right to be saying you got charged 12.50 for a large popcorn and coke when i can guarantee you didnt!

You two guys above who are claiming I'm mistaken.
You can guarantee I didn't pay 12.50 can you?

I can personally guarantee you both that I feckin well did pay 12.50 for large popcorn and coke!

Before you come back with answer that goes along the lines of, you where in said cinema last night etc........

I originally posted this in March..... Is now June
if you were the manager of this cinema, and seen that your cinema was being named and shamed in a rip off forum, would you leave your prices unchecked?

I can assure both of you that in March of 2010 I and my wife were charged twelve euros and fifty cents for one large coke and one large popcorn!

My mistake.
It's the same person, felt the urge to post twice about the same thing???
You don't happen to work in/have something to do with storm cinema?

Posted it twice because i disconnected the first time!! No big deal, not to me anyway. And yes I do work in one of the storms (or i did until two weeks ago, worked in it for 6 years) and I know you couldnt have been charged 12.50 unless you were accidently charged for a candy combo and werent given the sweets, which is likely! Because i can name the price list off in my head and a large popcorn and drink is 9.25 medium popcorn and drink been 8.50 and the candy combo (large popcorn , large drink and bag of sweets) been 12.50!! I am not looking for an arguement here BTW i am just telling you there is a mistake, maybe on your side maybe on the person who served you, no one knows! And i will be first to admit the cinema is ridiculously overpriced!! But im just telling it how it is, obviously its too late now, but if ur charged 12.50 again i reccommend you ask for a receipt because its not the right price

Mistakes happen and I honestly think this was just a mistake, unfortunatelly u had to pay the extra 3euro for it! Hopefully wont happen again

They can't guarantee that you did or didn't pay the 12.50 but you can as you said in your OP that you didn't pay it
