Save money at the movies (31/5/2004)

Cheap Movie Nights
I’m sure by now that we all know of the cheaper tickets available at cinemas on Tuesdays. Recently the deal has changed to include Mondays as well in a lot of independent and smaller chains.

Village Movie Money, Hoyts Hot Cash & other vouchers
Buying these sorts of tickets straight from the cinema itself still saves you some money, but there are cheaper ways.

* Buy the tickets around special events like Christmas, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day for further discounts on the tickets.

* Check with your own work, or ask friends if their work social club offers discount movie tickets.

* If you only attend movies in the daytime, check with the cinema to see if restricted tickets are available for purchase. I have used the Hot Cash version which was another two dollars cheaper a ticket (already cheap through the social club) because they had to be used before 5pm everyday.

* Purchase a calendar from the cinema. Normally released each Christmas/New Year period these often have free and/or buy one, get one free passes in them. Ask if you can look through the calendar before purchasing it too ensure that it’s of value to you.

Waverly Cinema
Sign up to receive your Waverly Cinema card and start seeing movies for as little as $1.90 each.

No, you didn’t read it wrong. Here are some examples:

* Scooby Doo 2 – Mon, May 31st at 5:30pm for $1.90
* In America – Mon, May 31st & Wed, June 2nd at 9:45pm for $1.90
* 50 First Dates – Thurs, June 3rd at 1:30pm for $1.90
* Kill Bill 2 – Wed, June 9th at 8:00pm for $1.90

The Waverley Cinema Movie Card is provided free of charge and entitles yourself and any number of guests to be admitted at the special Movie Card price. There are no hidden catches you merely present your card at time of purchase. Because the Movie Card is provided free of charge, Box Office staff will not have access to your personal details.

Therefore, in order to receive the special Movie Card price you MUST present your Movie Card to our staff at time of ticket purchase, quoting of barcode number is not acceptable. This is the only rule governing the Movie Card and it is stringently enforced.

Just ONE Movie Card is needed per family. You do not need to order a Movie Card for each member of your household, unless you specify otherwise.

Waverley Cinema is located in the Pinewood Shopping Square, just off Blackburn Road in Mount Waverley. You’ll find us snugly tucked next to the giant AGL building. (Melway Reference: Page 70 H5)
