'Coraline' using our Unlimited cards which entitle us to watch any
film at any time during a month at a flat fee of £13.50 per person
per month.
Arriving we were informed that Unlimed customers have to pay an extra
£1.50 per person because the film is in 3D.
Sorry Cineworld, that is stupid. We'll be sitting in the same screen
as a regular film, in the same seats, sipping the same overpriced drink.
OK the film will have cost more than a regular 2D to produce, and
Cineworld may have had to buy in special projector to show it, but
what is starting to get on my nerves is how Cineworld continues to
squeeze more and more out of Unlimited customers.
When we joined the scheme it was £10.99 per month. When the
Government slashed the VAT from 17.5% to 15% Cineworld decided not to
pass on the saving but up the price.
When we joined we were told about the special offers we would get as
part of the programme, in two years I think all we've had is £2 off a
hotdog, a tiny can of Dr. Pepper, and a 15% off your food voucher,
which I think Cineworld think we are expect to believe is them doing
something to respond to the 15% VAT rate.
'Unlimited' magazine is free, but available to all cinema customers,
the food prices have gone up again, no 'Unlimited' discount.
So we're about to watch 'Drag me to Hell'.
Come on Cineworld, recession!
