Bad news for the fight against high ticket prices at cinemas, it appears that the UK has had one of its strongest years ever with the Guardian reporting:
Market data analysts Nielsen EDI said British filmgoers spent an all-time high of £838m on tickets last year. The number of admissions climbed by approximately eight million to 156.7 million between January and November, according to The Sun.
The US and Canada might have to fight their fight alone. Or at least until our prices rise so much as to stop us going to the cinema in droves.
What do the British readers think of the current prices in cinemas? What about the extras? Are there things that aren’t being offered, or are prices too high? What about the quality of the cinema itself and the picture and sound? Also, what do you think of your local cinema as opposed to the Multiplex, have you a locally run cinema that’s independent? Is it any good?
