        No.. now it has changed to Hoyts/Reading cinemas..

        Or just keep trying random phone numbers until one hits ;)

        • vipulrm on 25/02/2013 - 20:46

          I don't think this will work as it seems to verify names. Or did I miss something?

    Ever since Optus' sponership with eventcinemas ended and Telstra's started I've been waiting for this.

    They took their damn sweeet time though!

    By the way, the offer seems live now, you just need to follow the link via the FAQ below -

    https://help.telstra.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/21853

    Purchase instructions -

    1) surf to here - telstra.com/movies
    2) logon to your account (from the pulldown)
    3) click on the 'Thanks Movies' link on the right
    4) purchase tickets

    (the step after 3 links off to https://www.my.telstra.com.au/myaccount/loyalty-offers-consu… but that will change depending upon whether you are a business user or personal I guess)

    Check out my successful attempt to purchase a movie tonight, a day before the site goes live -

    http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/85357/15213/capture2.jp…

    After that page, it cross-links to the event site, and I purchased a couple of tickets.

    • The Quote Train on 24/02/2013 - 14:41

      I'd give The Impossible a miss frankly..

        Yes, ended up with Lincoln, but I wanted to test properly with a movie that wasn't being discounted by OSCARS voucher.

        • unity1 on 24/02/2013 - 15:03

          Once you hit purchase nothing happens, so I don't think you buy these until tomorrow.

        • crazyj on 24/02/2013 - 15:09
          +1

          There is no purchase button to hit. There is a 'buy your tickets now' button at the very end within the event site, after you've selected your tickets. I went right through to the event website, and paid via paypal. Tickets purchased already.

          At what point does the browser display nothing?

        • unity1 on 24/02/2013 - 19:33

          Probably didn't work as I tried it on the ipad. Damn thing still has limitations.

    • crazyj on 24/02/2013 - 14:55

      The link works for all the 'mainstream' movies, but not the one-offs - rewinds such as Back to the Future and Casablanca. fyi only.

  • daver on 24/02/2013 - 14:40

    Not too bad, though not as splendid against Optus' 10 dollar bonus previous promo
    Hoyts Movie Tickets - $10 for 1 Adult and 1 Child (if You Are with Optus)3/1.

    Whilst I gather $10 is standard for both, Event would have the edge on locations, being that greater union is included with Telstra offer.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/03/2013 - 20:49

      yes but the old event/optus promo made you pay a $1.10 booking fee the event/telstra promo doesn't.

  • paul_5666 on 24/02/2013 - 15:34

    Yay! You can't change the URL to cheat and get the special offer with this one so definitely need to be a Telstra customer.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/03/2013 - 20:50

      Looks like they finally paid someone with experience to design the rewards system.

  • jdr on 24/02/2013 - 16:38

    I wonder why Village Cinemas devalue the offer by attaching the candy-bar upgrade to the purchase of Coke only. Can't imagine that there is a good reason for that unless that's the drink with the highest water-down factor.

  • muzzamo on 24/02/2013 - 16:53

    The RAA in South Australia are also offering cheap movie tickets with Event Cinemas, and it is also starting tomorrow.

    I don't think its a coincidence that they are both launching this tomorrow. The IT work for both is probably being done simultaneously.

    I wonder who else is launching cheap movie tickets tomorrow.

  • danb on 24/02/2013 - 16:57

    Ticket price includes booking fee and GST.

    When i went to buy 2 tickets it added $2.20 on for booking fee :'(

    • ajdj10 on 24/02/2013 - 17:37
      +1

      Should be $9 for the ticket and then another $1 for the booking fee which brings it to $10.
      That's how it was when I tested it.

      • crazyj on 24/02/2013 - 17:46

        I got a completely different result. $10 for the ticket, and $0.0 as the booking fee, all inclusive of GST. This was for event cinemas in NSW.

        • danb on 24/02/2013 - 18:03

          Event Cinemas Castle Hill is where i tried at, cost $10 per ticket plus had $1.10 booking fee. Why are you down voting for that? http://puu.sh/27sTA

          Actually just tried a different movie and it didnt add booking fee. Must have been unlucky with the movie i selected.

    • lwdog on 24/02/2013 - 17:52

      For Village in Victoria, it is $9 for standard ticket plus $1 per booking = $10

    About time Telstra gave us something back in return for paying for their overpriced services.

  • DEvok on 24/02/2013 - 17:51

    Iv got like 50 Telstra numbers… Since I keep buying woollies $10 prepaid sims normally $30, to bad I throw the sims out right way once used, if there are others you could post here tour un wanted numbers instead of trashing it like I have.

    • m2000 on 24/02/2013 - 18:09

      Do the Telstra no. need to be activated?

      • 51ngh on 24/02/2013 - 18:24

        It appears that you need to have a My Account registration. And to have that, an active service is required.

  • greengrocer35 on 24/02/2013 - 17:59

    Thanks for this! It works with my Cinebuzz account too so I get the points as well.

    Awesome deal! Been waiting for something like this… been pretty hard finding Event Cinemas deals since the rydges code stopped working.

  • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2013 - 22:55

    Cool. Got Hoyts and Village covered now - Optus internet, Telstra landline.

    Now if they'd just release a decent movie at the cinemas..

  • novastorm on 24/02/2013 - 23:12

    So will buying a $2 Prepaid Telstra sim work? Or do we need to be on a monthly type of subscription with Telstra?

    • JordanM on 25/02/2013 - 00:07

      Yep prepaid services are fine. I have prepaid iPad and mobile.

      • HONDA4LIFE on 25/02/2013 - 08:02
        +1

        How long does the $2 SIM card last for?
        I don't want to continually recharge the SIM just to get cheap movie tickets..

        • JordanM on 25/02/2013 - 12:58

          Generally it is 6 months from last recharge so I guess 6 months from activation

      • novastorm on 01/03/2013 - 13:22

        Do we need to actually buy a separate Telstra recharge credit to charge the $2 Prepaid sim? Or can we just activate the sim?

        • vipulrm on 01/03/2013 - 14:30

          I think just activating the SIM should work. Like geek7899 pointed below, you could argue it is just for receiving calls ;)

        • novastorm on 01/03/2013 - 14:38

  • zobingo on 25/02/2013 - 11:23

    Hmm has anyone had any lucky accessing this from their mobile? It works perfectly from my desktop but when I try it from my iPhone, the link for the tickets in my account isn't there.

    EDIT: Nevermind. I was just having a moment of temporary blindness.

    EDIT 2: Okay, so the link is there, but "an error has occurred, please try again later." Hrumph.

  • Twolate on 25/02/2013 - 12:27

    I'm going to have to get a Telstra home phone now Just so I'll e eligible for this $10 tickets. I was used to using my optus rewards till they changed up to Hoyt's and u had to order them

    Has anybody bought a $2 SIM and used it successfully to buy these discounted tickets without actually recharging it?

    • 51ngh on 25/02/2013 - 17:15

      Have done so with Optus. Dont think it'd be any different with Telstra.
      Just needs to be active on their network….you could argue, its only for receiving calls :)

    Confirmed, event cinemas or Telstra removed tgere $1.10 booking fee. Way better than Optus, which charged it.

    I too am confirming a purchase of a $2 sim works. Register for MyAccount and enjoy your $10 tickets! :)

  • King Tightarse on 07/03/2013 - 16:53

    Nice

  • the urbanite on 09/03/2013 - 17:53

    I managed to sign up with an already expired Telstra SIM.
    All you need to is the phone number and the name/DOB of the person when you bought the SIM.

    I would like to emphasis if you have no Telstra customers in your home, you can buy a Telstra SIM for $2 and there is no need to recharge to buy tickets.

    The old Optus-Greater Union promotion was my favorite promotion of all time. The web interface was flawless and the $10 tickets got me and all my friends going to the cinemas again (a lot). I hope this is the beginning of something similar with Telstra.

  • DEvok on 09/03/2013 - 20:01

    at what age for children do you need to buy ticket? or it doesnt matter what age and u still have to pay for ticket? i have a 1 and half yrs old and was wondering if you need to buy tiket for them too?

    • melmac77 on 27/03/2013 - 15:56

      Under 3 is free, If you hover your mouse over the children's ticket on the purchasing page it gives you the info. Of course it would be too logical for Event to but that sort of useful information in their Help/knowledgebase I reckon moronic monkeys designed that web page it's awful :|

  • kspec on 28/03/2013 - 10:24

    still working, just booked @ Burwood NSW , 2 tickets ($20) + a large popcorn n drink ($11) = $31!
