Cinema visit

In the October holidays i went to the Vue meridian cinemas to watch the film 'friends with benefits'. While i was at the cinema i noticed that they had 9 screenings showing all together, some bigger than others as the big ones were more for new releases. Also 2 out of the 9 screenings were 3D and all together within those 9 screens there are 2,391 seats, including VIP seats. VIP seats are located more in the middle viewing area and are there for people to enjoy their experience a lot more by having more room and comfier seats. Also before you go into screen they have a wide variety of foods and drinks available for you to take in.These foods include popcorn, ice-cream, pik 'n' mix, fizzy drinks, hot dogs, nachos, and many many more! Although they are expensive people still buy to get the whole cinema experience. Cinemas sell them that expensive to make up for all the lost profit that they lose by selling the movie tickets. The type of films genre that are available are horror, action, comedy, rom-com, and action. Having this wide range of genre makes audiences become wider and lets the cinema become more popular if it is available to lots of people.  Before any of the films are shown the cinema has to show a selective number of adverts/trailers. The sort of trailers that will be shown depend on the sort of movie you are going to see. This is cleverly done as it will courage the audience to come back.

Cost of tickets:
Adult £8.00
Teen 13-18 £6.35
Student £6.75
Child £5.95
Senior £5.95

Vue cinema also does special offers all the time, this is so it persuades people that they will be getting a better deal and therefore come to the cinema a lot more. One of the most popular special offers are orange Wednesdays. This includes for someone to have a phone on the orange network and allows them to get a 2 for 1 deal at the cinema. Not only does this please the cinema and customer but also helps orange network for phones.
