      Yea just watched it the other day. It's not in Xtreme anymore though

    What justification do Hoyts give to charge an online booking fee, but is free to book in person? I thought the whole reason of an automated online system was to reduce costs and therefore not needing to pay for staff time to personally book it for you?

      • Meconium on 18/08/2022 - 11:13

        That's the worst rebuttal I've ever seen. It's not even a logical fallacy as far as I'm aware.

    • ferrar1 on 17/08/2022 - 19:24

      Because some time ago an IT company came along and said we'll build your checkout system for free, but only if you pass on 4$ per ticket to us..

      • shkippy on 17/08/2022 - 20:28
        +3

        Thanks for that, that's a very logical explanation of how it started. But what public justification do they give for continuing this dinosaur policy? (As I'm sure they won't say: "to screw consumers out of more money" publicly).

          It’s plausible, but more likely internal.

          CEO “You want $4m to build a booking system??? We will sell most of those tickets regardless. Bottom line - where is the ROI??”
          Marketing and IT look at each other “Just give us a minute”

      • bluke on 18/08/2022 - 07:39

        It may have changed but Hoyts uses an off the shelf cinema POS (Vista) that's pretty widely used. Maybe they do take a cut of the ticket/booking fee, but I doubt it. Even if it was so, it wouldn't be the full $1.50 / $3.00 booking fee.

        What's more likely? It was a new source of income when they introduced online bookings, and they don't want it to end. Also keep in mind, when you book online, they're losing a chance to upsell in-person their candy bar items, which is the main way they make money (tickets barely make them any money as the movie studios take a huge cut in the opening weeks)

  • pupdog on 17/08/2022 - 19:20

    Err, how about so they can gouge their customers at every opportunity?

    "If redeemed at HOYTS.com.au… Booking fees will apply. Booking Fee: $1.50 for Standard General Admission Ticket"

    Do you need to book at Hoyts.com.au or can you just rock up at the Cinema and avoid the booking fee?

    • tpopi on 17/08/2022 - 19:48
      +5

      You can just rock up and there are no booking fees - the problem is you can't book your seats prior to that, so risk getting crappy seats the closer you get to your session - to avoid this book at the cinema well before (days even) your session!
      I used a Groupon once when I was in Qld and when I rocked up to book an Xtremescreen session, they didn't know how to uplift the Groupon tickets so they didn't charge me any extra - saved myself $16 (4 tickets)!

      • [Deactivated] on 17/08/2022 - 19:49

        Thanks mate

    • DarkProject on 17/08/2022 - 19:50

      and it seems you can't use the machines to scan the barcode on the vouchers. gotta get staff to scan your voucher

      • renarune on 17/08/2022 - 20:05

        I don't know about the Groupon vouchers but I was able to buy tickets on the kiosks with the Shopback vouchers by scanning the barcodes.

        All entertainment is frowned upon on Sundays.

    • coldlamb on 21/08/2022 - 19:02

      Should be valid on Sundays. The terms excludes Saturday after 5pm and public holidays only.

  • Mi2 on 17/08/2022 - 23:50

    Has anyone experienced the Onyx?
    Is the picture quality really better than let's say IMAX?
    Claiming infinite contrast is like OLED.

      i've watched multiverse of madness and honestly it was really off-putting how clear the screen is, especially because MoM was so vibrant as well, I reckon it's better for horror movies and dark movies in general. it's been decades since i've been to imax so i can't offer a comparison

  • mtriegaardt on 18/08/2022 - 11:01

    Is Hoyts and Events Cinema the same thing

  • ShipShapeRC on 18/08/2022 - 12:23

    I love how once you have paid for the coupon, you still have to pay a "booking fee".

  • JJlikes2eat on 18/08/2022 - 14:22

    Adding in the Groupon voucher code doesn't work for online bookings - field looks for a 19-character string but the voucher is only 15, so rejects it.
    Tried for a LUX session; haven't tried regular.
    Anyone had success?

    • yeah same on 18/08/2022 - 15:33

      I am also having the same issue for a regular screening

    • DarkProject on 18/08/2022 - 19:50

      i had to go in person and book with the staff

    • posthex on 18/08/2022 - 21:53

      me too, not giving me any discount on the Hoyts website, it applies the voucher but doesn't reduce the price for a general admission ticket.

      • renarune on 19/08/2022 - 07:18

        From my experience with the Shopback voucher, it adds a separate $0 ticket and does not reduce the price of any of the ticket options provided.

    • ksseller on 21/08/2022 - 13:35
      +3

      youre probably doing it wrong - you put your voucher and pin when you choose the session time - there is a button on the top of the screen that says redeem

      once your code and pin is put in it should just show 1.50 for online booking fee- you then just click next- you dont select +1 for adult ticket - it should then bring you to the seat selection screen

      • JJlikes2eat on 21/08/2022 - 14:13

        Yep, you're exactly right.
        Thanks for pointing this out!
