my first post - pls be kind

just found this on facebook. the old Optus $8 greater union movie tix offer has expired, this is the replacement. tried to find a backdoor for those non-optus customers, but couldn't (they must've fixed the bug). maybe someone else could find a way? Anyway, it's a great deal for all the Optus customers out there.

Any two movie tickets for $17*: Valid Monday to Thursday inclusive (excluding public holidays) at Event Cinemas, Greater Union, Birch, Carroll & Coyle and Village branded cinemas. Not valid for Gold Class. A maximum of two tickets for $17 may be purchased in a single transaction

*Offers available online only, standard online booking fee applies to all online ticket purchases. Valid until 30 june 2011. Offer not valid in conjunction with any other offer or discount.

    Just to be clear, you can use these at Village Cinemas, etc.

    Another option available to the general public

    http://www.shoprite.com.au/products/Greater-Union-Event-Cine…

    $11.50 per ticket, minimum of 2 per order (NB: No max)
    if purchasing 10 or more it drops to $10.90

    Prices include shipping and do not have a booking fee

    • hashtagbargain on 16/07/2010 - 11:02

      Thats a great offer, but how do you get membership in shoprite? I tried registering, but what are all the codes?

      any pointers?

  • retiredfeline on 16/07/2010 - 00:12

    Ok that works out to $9.50 per ticket which is good, except that on Tuesdays it may be cheaper to just buy cheapskate tix, depending on the cinema. I'll pass it on to people I know with Optus phones.

  • [Deactivated] on 16/07/2010 - 00:57

    Only valid Mon-Thurs, and as far as I can see, there is no way to register for this offer. I'm an Optus customer plus had a legit Optus rewards card that just expired, with the $8 movies on Wednesday.

    I think they only way you can get this offer is to have Optus send you a membership card at their discretion . If so, not really worthy of being on OzBargain.

    • retiredfeline on 16/07/2010 - 02:18

      How do you mean? When I clicked on Find out more, it dropped down a section with a Purchase Tickets Now button, which when clicked takes to a login page where you are asked for an email address and password. If you don't have those, you can click on Register Now which takes to a registration page. I didn't go further than that.

      • [Deactivated] on 16/07/2010 - 02:44

        You're right, sorry. I couldn't find the registration button before.

        All you need is an Optus phone number to verify you are a customer..maybe just input a friends number guys..

        • grasstown on 16/07/2010 - 09:38

          you need an online optus account, so a login too, not just number

          this is better than the old card which was just wednesdays. but $3 more for two tickets.

          • [Deactivated] on 16/07/2010 - 16:15

            @grasstown: I prefer the old card because its cheaper, I can go alone and I don't have to order online and pay the booking fee.

    Plus what kind of half arsed offer is the "unlimited snack" deal…free upgrade or 4 small cokes and a large popcorn for $20. How is this unlimited? Do they refill your drink or something? Meh.

      'unrestricted' would be a better word. (ie, you can use snack discounts on a Saturday, etc)

    Pretty good deal, will make use of it to see Inception

    Oh and protip, don't waste your $ on Day And Knight, I'm a fan of Cruise and Diaz and it sucked so bad, oh so corny, oh so bady produced.

  • browser on 16/07/2010 - 10:33

    What is it with the $2 booking fee? Why is it becoming an acceptable practice for such fees? Aren't they meant to give you further discount for pre-paying tickets online?

      I could be wrong…. but i think it was because it was his first post and he wanted you to be kind.

      • [Deactivated] on 16/07/2010 - 14:43

        No

        It was to annoy Housecat

        • puckman on 16/07/2010 - 15:13

          Yeah he knows how much Housecat hates it when people abbreviate the word "please". It's only two letters difference though Housecat, I think it's time to start moving on…

            @puckman: i thought cats only talk in abbreviated and poorly spelt words? "I can haz cheeezburgrz" ect ect.

            Maybe he wanted it in more of a cat form. I found a transltor so we can communicate with 'housecat' better

            This is how he should have said it :
            "MAH FURST POST PLZ BE KIND"

    I have found this website to be pretty cheap for movie tickets. For hoyts or village off peak mon-thurs, $9 a ticket. 6 to 9 month expiry date. You can see 3D etc. with surcharge. When I last ordered postage was free for more than 6 tickets, can't see that option on the website now. Anyway postage per order is $1.50.

    www.spendless.net.au/ then go to cinema ticket options of the left hand of the scree. FAQ lets you know about postage times etc.

    • illumination on 16/07/2010 - 16:03

      Wow this site looks great! Thanks for that!

  • illumination on 16/07/2010 - 16:04

    Ahh I was so happy when I saw this until I realised you can't get it like you could last year =(
    Last year's one was seriously the best movie bargain on OzBargain ever haha but thanks for posting this too.

    Anyone tried recently?. Trying for today or wednesday, unable to get this working. It says chosen session is not available for online booking, when tried via yes-ticket !

    • bargs12 on 10/08/2010 - 15:02

      yep not the only one, thats exactly what i get. Seeing as its still 9.50 a ticket. the best way would just be to sign up for a student edge card (get apprentice one if ur older) and its 9.50 tickets from mon-friday at hoyts.

  • bargs12 on 10/08/2010 - 18:37

    seems to be working now
