2x Event Cinemas Tickets, 2x Small Popcorn, 2x Small Drinks for $40 via PayPal

41

There seems to be a distinct lack of movie deals right now. Hoyts are not in convenient locations for me to use the Optus offer.
Anyone seen a deal for a book of 10 Screen Savers?
A standard admission ticket is $18.50 and a small popcorn and drink online is $10.50.

Anyway, I quote:

With the PayPal Double Movie Pass enjoy a trip to the cinemas with a friend or loved one.

    Titled "Our Christmas Present to You". If someone gave me two tickets to the cinema and said, go nuts at the concession stand, but only a small popcorn and small drink I would think they were being stingy.

    Thanks Event McScrooge!

    [Definitely a first world problem I know!]

    That's a deal? If that's the case if it wasn't for Cineplex I would never goto the movies.

    • +2

      I know right! still upset that Rydges code is gone..Just because sometimes I can't be bothered to go to Sthbank so pay a bit more for something closer.

      and Cineplex is still cheaper than $40 an dit's all the time.

    • +1

      same

    • I'm guessing your in QLD where they have reasonable movie prices?

      Not so in NSW, alas. Normal ticket price is $15-20.

      • +1

        That's how much we pay in QLD. It's just that's there's one chain (Cineplex) that don't feel the need to rape every customer.

  • +1

    It's not a 'bad' deal for people who don't have access to a Cineplex location or a cheap ticket deal (such as the $6.50 for students @ Bris Myer Centre).

    It's probably saving a few dollars per person I'd guess

    Weren't event tickets $6 the other day? That would mean you're paying $28 for 2 small popcorns and 2 small drinks. This is supposed to be ozBARGAIN.

    Rydges

    • If you have a rydges card?

    • +1

      Rydges

      Not any more.

      • still possible if you print the card and flash it at the box office

  • This promotion is valid to 25 Dec. This movie evoucher is not valid for use at sessions from 5pm on Saturdays.

    So can use sat night or sunday. Not really a deal then

    • huh? you've contradicted yourself re >5pm on Saturdays

    Such a shitty deal, can get 2 tickets for $20 via quite a few different deals and 2 small drinks and popcorn would only cost $10.

    Via Optus they're $12 each
    Via RACQ they're $11 each
    Via NRMA they're $12 each
    Via Ridges they're $10 each
    Via Student discounts STM2012 they're $10 each

    The above amounts are inclusive of the $2 fee for online booking.

    • +1

      Optus and Rydges don't work any more.

      I believe the RAC deals still work, but (at least for WA) you need to buy physical vouchers in advance, rather than using a code on their website.

      • +1

        rydges always worked when you bought physically

    • +1

      So what if I'm not part of RACQ, NRMA or a student?

      • +4

        If your car breaks down you'll be stuck and you can't use your bus pass to catch the bus.

  • +3

    Buy 2 full overpriced tickets and get 2 SMALL overpriced popcorn and 2 drinks for $3?

    Not very inspiring.

  • +2

    After the Event Cinemas debacle, i'm now a club dendy member. $16 for 2 years to join and $14 per movie (inclusive of booking fee).

    I preferred the Rydges deal but I reckon this is 2nd best if you go to the movies reasonably often.

    • +1

      Dendy & Palace membership doesn't make much sense anymore considering you can purchase Cinema Saver tickets from various online sources for around $10 each.

  • +3

    Optus Movie Rewards is now with Hoyts instead of Event. $10 tickets for any session except for Sat nights. https://www.yestickets.com.au/movierewards/
    Seems like they have added some Dendy and Reading cinemas as well, quite a comprehensive list:
    https://www.yestickets.com.au/movierewards/cinemas
    I do miss Event not being on there though. I hear that people simply go to the supermarket and grab a $2 Optus SIM, activate it and then you are an Optus customer!

  • +1

    When did rydges expire? I used it a couple of weeks ago to see 007.

  • Well, in case anyone ever wonders, I used this deal and now regret it. Nothing against the original poster, just a failure of service on the part of Experience This - see http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/90897 for the whole story.
