Three cash-saving tips so you never pay full price on cinema tickets
FILM buffs can enjoy the magic of the movies with equally magical ticket prices.
By making the most of special deals and loyalty schemes, you need never pay full price.
Here’s some of my favourite ways to save . . .
LOYALTY PAYS: If you’re a film fan who always tends to go to the same cinema, look to sign up to a loyalty scheme.
Whether your cinema is independent or one of a chain, ask what schemes they run and compare with the price of individual tickets to work out if it’s worth it.
With myOdeon free membership, you can get deals on tickets, but film buffs could save more with the chain’s myLimitless scheme allowing you to see unlimited 2D movies for £14.99 a month (£16.99 including Central London).
