Thanks to the commenters, just go to http://www.eventcinemas.com.au/Rydges :)

    Top stuff mate works like a charm!! :D

  • samfisher5986 on 07/09/2010 - 00:10

    Awesome trick. Are you sure they won't ask for anything special when going through to the movie?

    • JordanM on 07/09/2010 - 00:14

      I have used it without issues, but maybe is being questioned say you got it from Rydges Loyalty program?

      • samfisher5986 on 07/09/2010 - 00:15

        Cool, just as long as I don't need any special cards or anything to show.

        • JordanM on 07/09/2010 - 00:19

          YMMV of course, but from what I hear it is hard/a hassle for them to reverse a online transaction, and I have used this twice with no issue.

  • lovedeals on 07/09/2010 - 00:19

    Didn't work for me…soon as that link comes up it redirects to another page and doesnt give me a chances to put that rydges code in.

    Not Entirely Related to this deal

    I find the $1.10 booking free to be stupid (even more so than the $1 booking fee). If you agree….

    I also suggest you either @ them on Twitter or comment the discussion on FB in regards to the booking fee.

      be happy it's only $1.10 the booking fee is $55 when going for a driving test at vicroad$

      • Daabido on 07/09/2010 - 10:41

        I think you may have just drawn a very long bow. Surely the $55 includes paying for the driving examiner, office spac, et al.

      try this…..if you wanted to go and see Sarah Mclachlan in Adelaide…..

      $1.10 seems an absolute bargain :)

      • prisonerzero on 09/09/2010 - 21:08

        Some Ticketek events now include a bigger fee to cover credit card fees. Credit card fees are usually paid by the promotor.

        Please note: At the request of the promoter, the transaction fees for this event have been increased to include a surcharge for credit card transactions.

  • leonheart1 on 07/09/2010 - 00:58

    Just bought one for tomorrow. Let's hope it works!

  • [Deactivated] on 07/09/2010 - 01:44

    I think that VMAX works too.

    • Aemit on 07/09/2010 - 11:00

      didn't work for VMAX when i tried

    Great trick!

    … although why on earth would you want to see Vampires Suck? :P

    • Kumam0n on 07/09/2010 - 08:52

      Obviously this is heaps better than the originals =P
      Would u prefer lame or funny? I would definitely go for the 2nd option.

  • Aemit on 07/09/2010 - 09:27

    the link is just there for like couple of seconds… before i can copy the link for the session i want to purchase a ticket to, the link changes to https://www.eventcinemas.com.au/online-ticketing/ticket.asp

    how did you copy the link?

    • Aemit on 07/09/2010 - 09:39

      I got it…thanks heaps

  • Mooman on 07/09/2010 - 09:53

    Awesome - Nice tip!

    ..Just dont go see vampires suck - the movie sucks.. I would rate it 5/100

  • Ranagade on 07/09/2010 - 10:13

    Works like a charm for INCEPTION at Bondi Junction!

    Let's hope they don't get wind of this and update the website's ticket ordering process!

    The link you want is the "Referral" link which stays on the screen for a split second, before taking you to the tickets choice screen.

    The referral link will be in your History… so copy the link from your History and paste it in the address bar, then copy and paste the code right after the link… Bob's your uncle!

  • leonheart1 on 07/09/2010 - 10:13

    Just out of interest, does anyone know how much the 'old Optus trick' costed?
    I think I recall someone saying it was only $8 a movie?

    • hashtagbargain on 07/09/2010 - 11:52

      old optus trick gave us 2 tickets for 19.20. only downsides - can be used only mon-thurs and can only buy in pairs.

  • polkadots610 on 07/09/2010 - 10:29

    Nice one JordanM!

  • ronnknee on 07/09/2010 - 10:37

    Wow they changed the booking fee to $1.10? How tight can they get?

  • vocadata on 07/09/2010 - 10:50

    Well done! I did a little more investigating and adding &ctpurl=thredboclub also works (in case the Rydges code stops working). Still $10 plus $1.10 booking fee though.

  • prankster on 07/09/2010 - 11:36

    wow they increased it by 0.10cents, used to be only $1 booking fee lol

    btw the link is www.eventcinemas.com.au/rydges

    • lovedeals on 07/09/2010 - 13:13

      Much easier, thanx prankster!

      Thanks prankster.

      Maybe the OP can update the link?

      www.eventcinemas.com.au/thredboclub also works.

    • Aemit on 07/09/2010 - 14:45

      Thanks mate…I agree…so much easier

    • nuggnuggs on 07/09/2010 - 16:04

      Thanks prankster. Top stuff.. It was getting a lil confusing

  • illumination on 07/09/2010 - 14:09

    Awesome. The old optus tickets were the best. This isn't as cheap, but still good =)

    Any idea as to when this expires?

  • Gotham15 on 07/09/2010 - 15:17

    Just booked a VMAX at Chermside.

  • Hippy on 07/09/2010 - 16:51

    Good deal! does'nt seem to work for 3D sessions of movies?

  • mightyboy on 07/09/2010 - 17:12

    I've been using this for like… 2 years now. It's always been good! I have been hesitant to remind everyone about it since it is more likely to be removed if it gets abused. Now that JordanM has let the cat out of the bag, I may as well mention that there is an easier way to do this than copying and pasting links.

    Simply go to http://www.eventcinemas.com.au/Rydges to buy your tickets. Select your cinema, select your movie, and it will show up with the $10 option. I'm pretty sure it works for VMax, but not for 3D.

    $11(ish) movies are great. The way it should be.

    This offer is made for Rydges Loyalty Club members. It's free to join, and I think you can do it from their website. When I joined, then never sent me out the member card. I've used this deal probably 15 times and never had any issues when collecting the tickets.

    However, you can't buy tickets without the physical card. I tried to buy them at the counter once and they couldn't do it without the card. I even gave them my member number from the confirmation email that Rydges sent, but it didn't work. That was about a year ago though.

    • Aemit on 07/09/2010 - 19:05

      You didn't get ur card because on registration the site says "We’ll print your full Rydges PriorityGUEST membership card at the hotel where you chose to next stay with us – It’ll be printed and waiting for you at front desk. "

  • Aemit on 07/09/2010 - 19:17

    According to the Rydges site:

    "Great movie savings especially for Rydges PriorityGUEST members.

    -$10 movie tickets when you book online (plus $1 booking fee per ticket)*
    -Valid for up to 2 tickets per session
    -Valid for any movie

    To obtain this benefit simply book online at www.eventcinemas.com.au/rydges and you will receive this offer. Please remember you must present your Rydges PriorityGUEST membership card at the box office at time of ticket collection.

    *Not valid on Friday or Saturday nights or in conjunction with any other offer. Cannot be used to purchase gift vouchers, Gold Class or Silverscreen tickets."

    Registration is free but they don't send the card. On registration the site says “We’ll print your full Rydges PriorityGUEST membership card at the hotel where you chose to next stay with us – It’ll be printed and waiting for you at front desk."

    I have purchased some tickets for this Saturday..not sure if they will ask for the card on collection..

    • mightyboy on 08/09/2010 - 01:13

      They won't ask for the card. They never have for me, and I've done it probably 15 times. Enjoy =)

  • jennkei on 07/09/2010 - 21:38

    I'll wait to see if this works. And see if I can find any more $6.50 tickets on ebay..XD

    God I'm an idiot.
    I paid 11.10 for a ticket today when I could have paid 10.50 because it was Tuesday…
    Not to mention I had to print it out and all that hustle.

    • illumination on 08/09/2010 - 00:57

      Haha you probably got too excited. That's what ozbargain does to you eh? You see a bargain posted for a product, and suddenly you forget about other specials/promotions that have always been around. Unlucky!

    • ronnknee on 08/09/2010 - 15:46

      Just lol.

  • mm9257 on 08/09/2010 - 00:06

    Worked for me at Bondi Junction. VMax.

  • jug_head on 22/09/2010 - 13:09

    deleted my original post - sorry

  • nubzy on 10/10/2010 - 18:05

    Damn could have used this lastnight, paid $14.10 for a student ticket and got a second adult ticket for free with my 100 points. Absolute rip off.

    Will use this nexttime for sure

    And I agree with commenting on their facebook/twitter about the booking fee. The idea of online booking is to REDUCE staff numbers, so it should cost no extra. And increasing it by 10c is just straight up greed. I really do not like the way Event cinemas operate one bit, I wish they never changed from Greater Union.
