tixeachitempromo650

Update
I think the code has been fixed now
Also promo650 has been removed from the codebase for alot places

However this deal is still valid as you can still view the list of available codes in the source code. The "tixeachitem" code was simply an easy way to display them

An alternate way would be:

Open a javascript console in ur browser(f12 in Chrome/IE, ctrl+shift+K in firefox, then click on 'console') and type:

$('.tixeachitem').show()

and hit enter, all of the promo's will be shown just as if you entered tixeachitem

i think event just removed the codes temporarily while they apply some sort of fix. i highly doubt theyd stop offering promo codes permanently

Edited to be less confusing:

At the screen where you select the number of tickets,
on the right hand side is an option to enter a promo code
enter PROMO650 and a new option will appear for $6.50 movie tickets
Select the number of tickets you want and continue

This price is for standard sessions only, you have to pay extra for vmax, HFR and 3D, but as someone else pointed out, its cheaper than buying regular 3d VMAX, example below:

THIS CODE WORKS FOR 3D HFR of the Hobbit (4k ultra high definition, 3D, 48 frames per second session) - $13.50 (regular price $25.50)
YOU MUST BOOK 4K Movies using this link
http://www.eventcinemas.com.au/vmax-4k

For all other sessions:

Enter tixeachitem in the promo code section to unlock ALL the codes in available
credit: escimojoe http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/87704#comment-1151381

Enter the above code to unlock all available ticket prices for each session type you choose (i.e. gold class, standard, vmax etc) just search through the newly unlocked lists to find the cheapest tickets
voila!

example if you wanted to watch Skyfall in 4k ultra HD, the normal price of gold class is $28, the code unlocks gold class for $25
for a regular session of skyfall in 4k ultra the price is $22.50, the code unlocks the $6.50 ticket (but it adds $4 premium for being a 4K session for a total of $10.50), but you will notice i also unlocks Rydges loyalty web, which is $10 (50cents cheaper)

here are some noteworthy codes:

enter "herald" or "goldclass25" for $25 gold class tickets
beforedark - no idea what this is for but it says: "GC Gift Pack Before 5pm - $96.75"
rydges - some standard sessions and possibly vmax sessions work with this code for $10 tickets

Credit goes to user Forgot69 for the following code:
rydges1 - Unlocks $13 Moonlight Cinema in the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/87704#comment-1151360

Enjoy!
giggidy

edit you need to pay the usual $1.1 online booking fee as well

Here is how i got the code:
removed how i got the codes so Event cinemas will find it harder to close the hole

TL:DR version:

  1. enter the code tixeachitem at the page where it asks you for a code

  2. select the cheapest ticket types

  3. ???

  4. Profit (or in the case of ozbargain, impulse purchase)

    HFR, what the heck? high frame rate?

    since when did they get hfr and 4k movies at event?

    • gilbarc on 12/12/2012 - 23:49

      Since December 26, 2012.

      • crazyj on 13/12/2012 - 10:19

        Skyfall is HFR/4K in George St, NSW, now.

    HFR? Like it you would be able to tell the difference, it's a projected image, not a tv.

    • Forgot69 on 12/12/2012 - 23:59

      "640K ought to be enough for anybody"

    • m0nkeycheese on 13/12/2012 - 01:19

      I saw the 4k Sony TV in Japan.. Its an amazing diference!

      Its literally twice the information on the screen than Full HD

      • theguyrules on 13/12/2012 - 01:27

        HFR is the high frame rate. Most of the cinemas will be showing it in 1080p just at 48fps, from what I can tell.

      • gilbarc on 13/12/2012 - 01:40

        Its literally twice the information on the screen than Full HD

        Four times the information in fact — the resolution is doubled in both dimensions.

        • m0nkeycheese on 13/12/2012 - 16:35

          FHD is 2million pixels (2k) this is 4k so that's double in my book

        • m0nkeycheese on 13/12/2012 - 22:30

          I stand corrected.. I didnt know the actual resolution :/

        • gilbarc on 13/12/2012 - 22:33

          FHD is 2million pixels (2k) this is 4k so that's double in my book

          4K is 8 million pixels, so that's four times.

          2K and 4K refer to the horizontal resolution, but the vertical resolution is of course doubled as well.

        • m0nkeycheese on 15/12/2012 - 11:13

          Thanks for that I thought the 'k' ment the number of pixels.. as 2k is 2million, logically one would think 4k is 4million. Thanks for the clarification

          No, you're wrong again.

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilo-

    To tell you the truth, i have known this for awhile.. worked out the tixeachitem code last year by checking the html code. Considered posted it here, but felt that it might get back to eventcinemas and then get fixed/prevented from being used.

    Can't believe how much you guys normally pay for tickets.

    My local cinema (rural nsw) regular prices are $12 for an adult ticket and $15 for 3D adult ticket. Sure we will probably have to wait years for them to upgrade to a 4k projector but no way would I pay that much just to watch a movie.

    • furythree on 13/12/2012 - 12:02

      Normal 3d is about those prices (a bit cheaper)

      the prices youre looking at $25.50 are for hfr which is new, normal tickets are never this high

    Bought six tickets for the family, using the $6.50 option. No other levy for 4K, 3D, or vmax was applied. Total $45.60 for six tickets including online booking fee.

    Did I do something wrong?

    • zzyss on 13/12/2012 - 10:27

      Yeah, you probably chose a session that isn't any of those things. Did you pick a session that specifically said 3D Hobbit (HFR)?

      • itosh1o on 13/12/2012 - 13:31

      Don't like your chances!!

      Note that when you use the reveal script this option appears but the family ticket disappears.

      So this is the Adult part of a family ticket and will likely only be accepted at the box-office together with the other three+ tickets in a famiy ticket (incl min 2 or 3 chidren tickets.

    Important Info

    If you dont want to experience the Hobbit in low res of 2 megapixel and would like to see the 8 MP 4K version
    I am on hold to Chermside and they are going to let me know if 4K will be played on any other day than boxing day

    According to the Event Cinema 4k Website only Chermside and some crappy place in NSW have 4K ONLY on boxing day

    I will repost with updated information when the projectionist informs me as staff is confused

    • gilbarc on 13/12/2012 - 12:43

      Let us know what they say, because the web site is confusing. Are there really no sessions at Chermside (or anywhere) that are both HFR and 4K?

      • thelastnoob on 13/12/2012 - 13:02

        Yes I am still waiting. There is mass confusion with one worker asking me 'What is 4k?'
        Also I booked a 4k Nfc 3D but not a VMAX 4k 3d and as you said they never specify if it is 24f or 48 HFR. I don't understand if City and Garden City are showing Skyfall all the time at 4K why they are not showing Hobbit at 4k aside from Boxing day. (unless the website is not correctly updated)
