    Not too long ago everyone would have said paying more than 10 euro for a movie was ridiculous.

    It is ridiculous paying more than minimum hourly wage to see a film that's invariably going to be kinda ****. Just illustrates that wether or not we're in recession we'll still fork out money on rubbish.

    I remember paying less than 4 punts...and I'm only 23! One of these would get you a ticket and some sweets.

    Classic in Harolds Cross used to be £2. Well it was when I went to see Phantom Menace anyway!

    2.20 to see Jurassic Park in the UCI. I remember because it was the first film I went to see without any adults. :rolleyes:

    As for paying money on stupid things, with cinema being the only real alternative to the pub in this country there aint much of a choice...but thats another debate.

    Yeah. I think it was 1.75 to see a film when the UCI first opened. I think I saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze.

    I remember getting a half day from school to go see that, ( not in the UCI though) and on the radio on the way to the cinema they were interviewing ppl down in the UCI asking what they thought about it. I just remember one kid being really excited that they had " holes in the seat to put your cup into".

    Am I right in saying that when you use your Unlimited Card, the stub says something like '3.20' on it ?

    & not the time of the showing, smartarse ;)

    It does say 3.80, and I think that is for reporting (how much money a movie made) purposes

    Looks like it worked...!

    You cheeky scamp Tusky, you owe me though :)

    Once your printed email has your card number + pic, you're sorted

    I definitely owe you! I was going to get the card anyway but this is 25% cheaper...its a damn good saving. If I go to one 3d movie per month, the card is paying for itself, regardless of all the other movies.

    Its in the post. They said it would take a week or two. Ive been using the temporary card no problem in the mean time. The amount has been deducted from my credit card and I have a receipt.

    I also rang cineworld just to confirm that the uk card would work in dublin and they said it would. So im 99% sure its all gravy.

    So a cinema is making about €6 from each ticket ?

    I always thought the cinema itself makes feck all from ticketsales & food was the big moneymaker for cinemas ...
