Yes, they are too high. Exorbitant when a family goes. Little wonder the cinemas complain of decreasing sales. The price of the sweets and popcorn is also too high. What a rip off.

Answer 5

i agree with you

food & drinks in cinemas are so over the top no wonder you tried too sneak food in did you get found out?

Answer 6

Given that you are in London, yes they are pointlessly high compared to the rest of the country. The food is where the cinemas actually make most money.

Answer 7

It depends on which cinema and how meny screens it has.

The Multi-Screens (5 + screens) in my area charge £7.  But my local cinema - which is part of a well known group - (3 screens) charges £4 for an adult.
