    Over 99% are BOGOF vouchers. Telstra thanks -> 💯 (free)

    Expected value (99x0$+1x42$)/100=0.42$

    Cost of shapes 3$

    3$ - 0.42$ = expected loss 2.58$

      The expected loss is unthinkably high :(

      • ilovefullprice on 01/06/2019 - 21:20
        +1

        The expected loss calculation here is not quite right as:
        0.99*22 = 21.78 and the threshold is only $3

        It depends on how you value a “win”. Given only 1% equates to a non-BOGOF, it’s straight forward without having to calculate.

          Listen assuming rational people buy this item.

          • Out of 100, 90 go with another whilst the other 10 let the prize expire
          • Using a binomial model with a 99% chance of receiving a BOGOF and 1% chance of the gold 89 people receive BOGOF, with 1 receiving gold and rest expire losing -$30.
          • Average prize won is (89 x $22)+(1 x $42) = $22.2 per person out of 90
          • ($22.2 x 90)+(-$3 x10)+(-$3 x 90) = $+1698
          • their other buys a ticket for $22 x 90 making a loss of $1980
          • 1698 - (2* 1980) = effectively costs -$2262 for a normal outing for 180 people = $12.6 per person
          • Let's say you manage to find a ticket for $10.. uh oh

          Anyway's majority go movies every week with another and pay $16-$30 so this is a deal thanks please don't judge taking mods :)

    The Promoter collects personal information ("PI") in order to conduct the promotion and

    • BertieBrown on 01/06/2019 - 20:30

      I think that is perhaps partly an answer to my question. They may be sharing contact information in return for financial reimbursement?

      Edit: didn’t read the above properly, sounds like they’re only sharing information for the purpose of conducting the competition and not selling it.

    • [Deactivated] on 01/06/2019 - 21:28

      Restricted to the purpose of conducting the promotion.

      You're probably ok, though of course you're not. No one is ok, ever. Especially here as they're seeking your DOB which is irrelevant to the promotion - it may influence what movies you see, but you can still claim.

      • bdl on 02/06/2019 - 11:58

        The T&C state promotion only open to those 18 years old and older, wouldn't the DOB verify that?

        • [Deactivated] on 02/06/2019 - 18:30

          Oh, so it is relevant. Big price to pay though: DOB is a key identifier used in ID fraud. A PIN that you can never change. I'm not giving that up for a lousy movie.

      You know MSG is found naturally in a bunch of different foods basically when it's added to other food its just a concentrate form.
      If you really want to avoid all MSG in your life then you have to cut out a whole heap of foods. Some of which are anything made with tomatoes, grapes, cheese and mushrooms. :)

          That's all fine and dandy but most or all MSG allergies have a psychological cause only.

          Doesn't mean it's not real for the sufferer however they can consume MSG and suffer no ill effects provided they do not know that they are consuming it.

      I have a feeling he meant added MSG. People avoid really sweet foods because of high sugar amounts, no "d'uh sugar in everything" it's how much is added that counts

      • DarthPyro on 01/06/2019 - 21:49

        Anyway there are 1 or 2 shape flavors without MSG, I've checked 😉

      • MagicMushroom on 01/06/2019 - 22:06

        But would added MSG do anything to your body? I wouldn't be concerned with added water or added fibre to my food for example.

        • DarthPyro on 02/06/2019 - 13:20

          It all depends on how much, you don't want a heap of added salt or sugar, some is ok

    How much would this have cost Arnott’s in order to run through this promo? Event would want reimbursement for their BOGOF tickets; sure they have at least one person buying a ticket when they might not have ordinarily but they are still losing out on that other ticket sale, so you’d think that they’d want something in return. So, if we assume that Event take a hit on the second ticket price and write off half of the normal ticket price, which at worst (for Event) might be $11, do we then think that Arnott’s are buying $35M odd worth of movie tickets for this promo? That’s an insane amount for a promo. I know Arnott’s are a big company but that’s a huge amount of money, and that’s assuming it would be half price. Am I way off with my thinking on the cost, or is that not a particularly large amount for a promo? What do people think?

    • scatman00 on 01/06/2019 - 20:31
      +7

      They would be paying approximately zero dollars for the bogof tickets.

      • BertieBrown on 01/06/2019 - 20:34

        Why would Event gift Arnott’s 7M odd tickets? I’m curious, I can understand writing the tickets down a bit, but just giving them away?

        • capslock on 01/06/2019 - 20:40
          +8

          The vast majority of the BOGOF tickets will never get used. Those that do get used presumably will be from people who might not otherwise have visited Event but did so because of Arnotts. Win win for both companies so no need for each to pay the other.

          • BertieBrown on 01/06/2019 - 20:48

            @capslock: Ah, I see. Yeah that makes a bit more sense in my mind. Thanks for the reply :)

          It's gets people in seats for event cinemas. With that comes one paying customer and two potential up sells at the candy bar.

          Its a win win, which is why there's so many of them and much less of the single adult movie voucher, yet they have the same 'value' as prizes.

    • evgpek on 01/06/2019 - 20:37
      +2

      It is actually very clever promo I recon budget is less than 50k

      Arnott is Not buying $35M tickets they only either pay insurance or cover cost themselves. I’m pretty sure BOGOF vouchers are free for big companies. With everything else the cost is just 0.20$ per package from expected value calculation in my first post.

      If they sell 100000 packages the actual cost for them would be 20000$ Plus marketing company margin 30000$

      • BertieBrown on 01/06/2019 - 20:42

        But I don’t understand how that works from Event’s perspective? Aren’t they losing money by giving away tickets? It doesn’t seem like the initial ticket is more expensive than it normally would be to cover the cost of the second free ticket, so I can’t understand why they would just give away free tickets?

        I mean what are Event getting in return?

        • evgpek on 01/06/2019 - 20:46
          +3

          My friend, Events margins on tickets are so high, that they can easily distribute BOGOF vouchers.

          https://www.smartdigital.com.au/9-ways-cut-movie-licencing-c…
          Very likely that Event pay licence 30-35% from ticket sales. This means that BOGOF cost them only unsold seat in a movie Theater, but extra people buy popcorn etc on which Event doesn’t pay licence

          • BertieBrown on 01/06/2019 - 20:54

            @evgpek: So they basically cover the costs by having higher profits ordinarily anyway? That would make sense.

            How would this work from a businesses books though? Would they have to classify the second free ticket as a write off? Or would they only write off their cost? So if the ticket actually only costs Event $5 but they charge us $22 would they say it cost them $5 or actually $22 in lost revenue?

            Edit: just saw your update, so they’d probably just write it down as a $5 loss, but they make back that loss through the candy bar? That does make sense.

            Thanks for your replies :)

    This voucher allows you to purchase two (2) movie vouchers for the price of one (1). The price is based on the RRP of a full priced movie voucher.

    You will be charged $23AUD + $1 administrative fee/ $18.50NZD + a $2 administrative fee.
