I love going to the cinema. Seeing a film on the big screen is so much better.
However, the price of the seats and the crammed leg room is not!
Why on earth have ticket prices gone up and up and up. For me to go and see a film on my own its around a tenner. I could buy the film on DVD to watch as many times as I like. It doesn't help the leg room is so small too and the seats not that comfortable unless you're seating in the premier seats (for an extra charge).
I know Cinemas need to be a little more expensive but a trip to the cinema for a family of four can cost around the same price as feeding them for a week. Four tickets, drinks, sweets, maybe a 3D film instead of the normal 2D. Is the experience really worth it?
In the last year I have only been to the cinema twice and both times I have paid with vouchers that have cost me half the price (thanks to a friend) and my tesco reward points.
I would much rather spend my money elsewhere, as I don't feel the cinema is value for money nowadays. Gone are the days of queuing around the block to see the latest blockbuster.
