This last week, I’ve spent £16 on cinema tickets, and seen three films. I caught the new Transformers film at the weekend, in London and the tickets were £10. I saw two films at the local foreign language film club in the same evening, for a total of £6. The films were Spanish, and pretty recent and pretty good.
I’ve lived in this city for nearly 10 years and I had no idea there was a foreign language film club. It’s not very well advertised, and talking to a couple of regulars, it seems that they don’t get many people showing up. This makes me wonder what other kinds of frugal entertainment there might be that I hadn’t realised. Thing is, I’m not entirely sure what to look for, I know about museums and art galleries, but what other cheap or free entertainment could there be?
My experience with the film club suggests that a lot of these things aren’t all that well advertised and might need a little work to uncover. What kinds of frugal entertainment is there where you live? Maybe I can get some ideas that way. Let me know in the comments.
I don’t know if it’s the same in other countries, but in Australia, it’s very easy to pick up double passes to particular movies on eBay. I wrote a post about it here actually: http://jing-wen.com/2007/09/05/saving-on-movie-tickets/
Of course, if you can brave the crowds and have a mobile phone with Orange, or a friend with one, you can take advantage of Orange Wednesdays, where you get 2 tickets for the price of 1.
Or just download them online
No no just kidding, wait til they’re available to rent, it’s so much cheaper if you can stick on top of renting and not bringing them back late. A couple of independent retailers make it under half-price compared to a cinema ticket!
How was Transformers 2? I’m usually good about watching movies for free or online, but I’m a sucker for blockbusters and will see them back to back weekends if they’re released one after another.
I went to the Prince Charles cinema in London a few weeks ago to see Frost Vs Nixon. It’s long been known as a cheap cinema in the capital (it’s just off Leicester Square) but the tickets cost £10!
Apparently it was because they were in the fancy new upstairs screening room. Tiny screen, but I must admit it’s a nice crowd who don’t talk, which is my personal bugbear about cinema trips, even more than the cost.
I love foreign film venues. Such great films most people don’t see. Shame.
I love free concerts/movies in the park. Bring a picnic dinner and enjoy! And I love that its FREE!
Are networks not able to show it legally or something? I don’t see why they wouldn’t. Does the production company have to release some kind of right? I have no clue on how such matters work. I was spurred onto this question when I started watching ABC Family’s 23 Days of Christmas featuring Harry Potter films 1-4. I really wanted to watch 5, and I’m too frugal to buy it.
I normally catch up on movies after they have stayed on theaters for some time and the prices drop.
