Even before this dynamic ticket pricing they removed student/senior discounts, haven’t visited one of their cinemas since. Much better options available.

Yes cancelled last month because of it

Yep I cancelled as well, felt very unfair to get charged extra for a comfortable seat. I switched to IMC instead.

They’re shite like.

Seems mad that in this era of legal and illegal streaming that a cinema is doing their utmost to disenfranchise their core customers.

Dynamic pricing at the cinema? ffs that shite needs to fucking die.
The-ADR on
There’s a good few movies I want to see so I’ll be cancelling it once they’re done, asinine decision they’ve made, gouging people for nothing.
Efficient_Cloud1560 on
100%. Have to nip this kind of gouging in the bud. Late stage capitalism is a cancer.

And also they removed child tickets being cheaper and now they are all the same price, as far as I can tell. Having to pay 15€ or more for a child ticket to see a movie in the cinema is pathetic. Cancelled mine and I’ll be going to other local cinemas.

This is so shit, i’ll be cancelling because of it.

I love how you included the screenshot to prove it!
Seriously, though, dynamic pricing is absolute bollox.
Super_Spud_Eire on
I find odeons limitless is the best bang for buck these days!
with the 10% off the food , on top of free movie tickets , and us going the cinema atleast 1 a week, but more often than not 2 a week , it’s a no brainer!

If where you live has an Odeon, you have basically no reason to go near the place. Their pricing is madness.
wawawuff on
I haven’t cancelled but I am raging about it.
My plan is to book the cheap seats and then just sit in any unbooked “good” seats after the trailers. I usually go midweek when it’s quiet anyways

Was there an option to let them know why you were cancelling? If not, be sure to send them a mail letting them know.

Look, this is a disgrace and cinema’s should be doing everything they can to maintain their customer base. But if you’re still paying for streaming services, who hike their prices annually, instead of this you’re part of the bigger picture problem.
saighdiuirmaca on
First they made MAXX (and other premium options not available in Cork Omniplex) more expensive on the pass, now this. Cancelled yesterday.
Fartboxslim on
It was great value a few years ago but this is ridiculous.
Leather-Stable-764 on
If I wasn’t going to the cinema so much lately I’d be cancelling mine.
Went 3 times in 10 days without one, costs about a third of the price with one.
aflockofcrows on
It’s not actual dynamic pricing, it’s worse, it’s a flat increase for particular rows across the board. At least with actual dynamic pricing the quiet screenings wouldn’t be affected.
Verity_Ireland on
Yes.
TheBatmanIRL on
Seems a lot are. Ridiculous pricing, id go out of my way to avoid them if it was local cinema.
oniume on
Email them and let them know why you cancelled, everyone
ChevronNine on
It’s tiered pricing, not dynamic. Dynamic pricing would be much worse. If I still had my omnipass I’d definitely be cancelling but I already cancelled last year because the busses were a joke.
Binary_Lover on
All aboard! Har har! I find it much more thrilling to hunt for a movie online if it’s uploaded somewhere. No more cinemas for me.
Zenai10 on
I was actually looking to join omniplex soon. What’s the change with dynamic pricing?
TheresOnlyOneTitan on
Good to know. Omniplex will now never be an option I consider.
styleshbk on
We cancelled back around September October when they increased the prices. First back was due in November so that sealed the deal but it’s no longer worth the price unless you go a lot.
It’s crazy the decrease in value, used to get a discount on snacks as well a few years ago.
Key-Compote-882 on
Haven’t been to the Cinema in a long time because of phone fuckers ruining it. I do miss it though.
pablo8itall on
In the good old days of Virigin Cinema you used to be able to go and have a hotdog and a beer while you waited on the cinema. Or go to a late show while trollied and fall asleep and miss the ending – Highlander 2 I’m looking at you.
The place was a hang out, it had everything, even an arcade machine place next door. Imagine a place with arcades, screens, food, drink, multiple levels and maybe bowling in the basement open early to late. It would be gas crack

I’ve worked on a Covid ward and ICU but Omniplex remains the most traumatising place I’ve ever worked in. How they treated staff was absolutely awful and them buying the shopping centre in Longford just to leave it idle has killed what little hope that town had.
Country_Club_Lemon9 on
Yes we cancelled last month. We were going to the Salthill one where they’ve also removed the freestyle/refillable drinks machines! The bathrooms are disgusting too.
Faloneytony on
Only noticed this last week when I went to go cinema. Cancelled immediately, wasn’t getting my money’s worth out of it most months anyway but for the 2/3 months a year that I’d go cinema more than once always thought it was handy having the Omnipass but would genuinely have to go cinema 3-4 times each month for it to be worth sitting in half decent seats
