    £5.00 with student discount. I take my own beer and pork scratchings in to save money.

    I don't know if you guys have ever noticed this, but they put something in their fountain drinks. Not only is it diluted but they put something in it....dont' know what though. oh and here in vancouver tickets are about 10 bucks canadian, 4.50-5.00 for a medium drink

    This is what I do....

    1. I go to www.movietickets.com or www.fandango.com and buy, if it's a R rated movie, 1 adult and the rest children's tickets. We then split the overall cost. If its G, PG, or PG-13, I buy all children's tickets.

    If going to the box office to buy the tickets (which is rare), I buy 1 adult and the rest children's tickets always. They can see you aren't a kid when you buy.

    2. Get a Movie Watcher card for AMC Theaters (www.movietickets.com). When you order your tickets online, you don't get the $1 service fee per ticket and when they print out at the theater kiosk or box office you get coupons for free stuff like popcorn, candy, soda, etc.

    3. Buy some of the refreshments beforehand. If you want Goobers, Kit Kats, or even a sandwich, bring it in with you in your pocket. It's not like they check for it and pat you down. Now that I think of it, you could even bring can sodas although I've never done it.

    4. Many theaters don't watch you leave at the end of the movie so movie hop if you have the time and the alertness to stay awake for another movie. Me and my gf saw Get Rich Or Die Tryin' (nice movie ) then Aeon Flux (piece o shit ) with ease recently. Just make sure the start/end times match up mostly. Movie hopping is super easy at the mega theaters with 20 or more screens which we have plenty of around here.

    Funny thing is when I worked at the movie theater as a teenager, the free movie novelty wore off rather quickly. It was cool for the "bang a new chick after seeing a new movie" night but ultimately it felt like I was 'going to work' on my time off.

    Sorry.

    Anyone going to that much trouble to save $2 (seven pence) must have Scottish descent.

    Oh right, understood.

    Indeed, do you think he ever works out that he has to factor his time into any "saving".

    Oh I save much more than that.

    How is it that much trouble to.....

    1. Buy my tickets beforehand and pick the up at a kiosk vs. standing in line. Actually with fandango, I print my tickets at home.

    2. Click 1 adult and 1 child vs 2 adults (or say it).

    3. Get free popcorn, etc. vs. pulling out money to pay for it.

    4. Buy extra refreshments while grocery shopping vs. standing in the concession line to pay more for it.

    It's more trouble to NOT do that stuff.
