How to save money on cinema tickets

Here at tastecard we love going to the cinema. It’s a great experience that lets us escape into fantastical worlds made even better by popcorn, nachos, and, if you’re lucky, a recliner seat. Plus, recent studies show it’s actually good for your mental health! The big screen engages your brain more than streaming at home, making the experience more intense and memorable. But with rising costs, we know it’s important to keep an eye on your budget. So, how much does a trip to the cinema actually cost? Are there any ways to make the experience a little bit easier on the pocket? tastecard’s exclusive discounts have you covered, making your movie nights more affordable. Want to know how to make the most of it? Keep reading!

How to save money on cinema tickets?

Going to the cinema can be pricey these days, but that’s only if you don’t take advantage of the full benefits that tastecard has to offer. Alongside our dining offers, there are a whole host of other benefits that come with your tastecard membership. Here at tastecards we are fans of both the BIG screen and even bigger savings so we’ve worked hard to drum up the best deals on the latest releases.

Odeon - the home of legendary cinema savings

If you have a tastecard membership then all you have to do is head to the tastecard app to find the latest cinema deals on offer near you. With the postcode search within the app, you’ll easily discover local screens and our best offers. With over 120 Odeon cinemas and 960 screens across the UK, the chances of finding one nearby are high!

The average saving on an Odeon ticket is 25%, and in some instances, the savings are even greater. Once you’ve worked out which blockbuster you want to see, and secured the deal you want on the app, you’ll need to purchase the cinema e-codes. You’ll need a code for each discounted ticket you wish to purchase then, either exchange these codes at your chosen Odeon’s box office or on the cinema’s website for your chosen screening.

If you decide to exchange your codes for tickets via the cinema’s own website then remember to bring your email confirmation and pre-purchased tickets with you to the screening, then you’re all set!

tastecard’s cinema deals don’t stop with just one chain! Your viewing experience is so important to us here at tastecard that we have partnered with other cinema chains to ensure that members have choices in cinema-going options, including Vue.

Our cinema ticket e-codes provide you savings at Vue compared to buying directly at their box offices. Each Vue screen has a set price for their e-codes but these codes can be used at any time on any day up to their expiry date. Be sure to check out your chosen cinema’s t&cs before purchasing your e-codes.
