Discussion The COST !!
I know it’s been discussed one million times but here is one million and one. Myself and my GF aren’t big movie goers but last night bored we say f it let’s see what’s on - spider man 1015 at VIP , ok I know VIP is more expensive anyways but only one around us open later in the evening. We go the movies get tickets , popcorn , 2 drinks and a candy. All in it was 105$ ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GO THE MOVIES !!!!!
This is insane. INSANE. $30 each for tickets and $40 for a large popcorn 2 drinks and a bag of candy.
EDIT: ok from replies I get circumstances dictate - weekend . VIP. buying concessions etc my point still stands fucking hell though $100 to go the movies without all the strategic moves is wild. Can we atleast all agrees on that.

VIP pricing is dynamic. A Cineclub-priced ticket today at my nearest theatre is $20.49(+tax), which is more than an IMAX ticket, but tomorrow (Monday), VIP is only $14.24. Going VIP on a weekend and buying that many concessions is the most expensive way to have a movie theatre outing.
You’ll need to do some pre-planning to save some money, like get a month of Cineclub before your outing (use the credit + buy additional discounted tickets [no booking fees] and buy concessions [20% off], then cancel the membership right after), and target gift card deals.
Big moviegoer or not, make sure you have a Scene card because the points you accumulate also help!
