Default Unlimited card (or equiv)

Does anyone else here have one?

I see a lot of you go to the cinema quite often and for £13.50 a month it's an absolute steal.

The two cineworlds which get frequent visits from me (Medway + Northampton) also seem to be a lot nicer and strangely less busy then their nearby rivals I've never had to queue for >10 minutes and the screens always are clean and have comfy seats I think the only gripe is the one in Northampton isn't soundproofed so every now and then you can hear the film next door :/

I would, but I don't want to sign up for 12 months which is in the T&Cs. I sometimes see 4/5 films a month, then nothing for a few months so I think it would be a bit of a waste for me. I get cheap tickets through work anyways and combined with orange Wednesday, we see most films for around £4.00 for the both of us. We also see about 3/4 films a month free due to this preview scheme thing I'm on through work.

We've seen Heartbreaker, Karate Kid & The Last Airbender 3D on freebies in the last few weeks (there were more but we couldn't attend them all!). Cineworld cinemas do seem to be much nicer than the others though, ours is lovely!

You can use them with Orange Weds too - meaning £6.75 per person if there are two of you

That's a ticket a month

I don't have a cineworld near me in Lincoln, but when I go home I normally have a day/half a day free to myself so I'd see 2-3 films in that time. I don't think I could be without one now, never refusing a trip to go and will happily see the same film 2-3 times with different friends if an invite is thrown my way. It's about £8 for an adult ticket at our local Odeon so even going 2 times in a month pays for itself.

Yes but as I said, I pay £4 if there are two of us now - so it's not much of a saving is it?

Unfortunately not, if there was a cineworld in north Bristol I would. I like going to cinema but it is to expensive and orange Wednesday is usually over crowded.

Don't get me wrong, If I didn't get the cheapy tickets I'm pretty sure we'd do it. One of us having the card would be useful then, because we'd only pay for one ticket each time and orange wednesdays are usually busier, but not a problem where we are (the benefits of living in a relatively small town!) Is it a named card Blighter? I.e. could we get it with just an initial & surname and be able to both use it if I went with my mates one night & he went with his another?

It's a fully named photo card

No Cineworld here otherwise I'd snap it up I think. Love going to the cinema and can't go enough!

As it stands, I just go every Orange Wednesday. It's only £5.05 or £6.10 depending on the time of day. Not usually too busy either as there's another cinema around the corner which helps I think. Summer holidays are making it busier but I couldn't afford to go that often on a different day so it's worth it.

Not been to the cinema in ages

Used to have an unlimited card but then found out the local Odeon is much nicer....
