    Odeon

    I was looking at prices for going to see James Bond. Can anybody tell me why there is such a difference depending on where you go? East Kilbride £6.50, Fort Kinnaird £8.45, Kilmarnock £10.15, Leicester Sq £14. I know London has always been dearer but the others are baffling.

    Odeon

    Probably depends on how close the nearest other cinema is. Like petrol stations, prices go up when there's less competition. Supply and demand.

    london is the outlier in th study for obvious reasons.

    £5 for non 'blockbuster' films as well. The seats are that worn and uncomfy I eouldnt recommend the place though

    It's not long, well sixty years actually, since it was 6d for the stalls and 9d for the raised section at the back of the State, Leith. Ah the good old days.

    Cinemas price based on demand and timing etc. as well as day.

    I generally get my tickets in deals these days, meerkat movies (2 for 1 Tuesday/Wednesday) or RBS Rewards other days (Cineworld tickets for £5). Mars had a Sunday deal a while ago but it's expired now.

    Is there that much more demand in Kilmarnock compared to East Kilbride? The saving on 7 of us will just about pay me in tomorrow.

    £31 quid for me and 2 kids to see Pan last week in Livingston.
    Would have been £28 but booked the good seats.

    Still expensive though.

    It used to be a cheap alternative to go to the pictures. We went for something to eat after it and the 2 things cost me £90. What I would say is that I love what they've done up at the fort with the cinema and all the restaurants, the area has been crying out for it for years.

    We go to WH Odeon quite a lot and are frequently the only people in the auditorium. How it stays open is a mystery but long may it continue.
