For one week only, you can buy movie tickets for only $7 when you buy a book of 10 x Village/Greater Union movie vouchers online using your MasterCard®. What a great way to enjoy the holiday break! Valid for use at all Village, Greater Union, Birch Carroll & Coyle and Event Cinemas Australia-wide for any session, any time, seven days a week except for Saturday after 5pm.
*or when allocation is exhausted. Limit of 4 books per customer.

  • vouchers are valid for 6 months from date of issue
  • Please allow at least 2 weeks for delivery.

Notes:
When you click on the website use this link - "Village Movie Vouchers - MasterCard special offer - All States"
I included this url so you can see other offers but also because the direct link is too long. For the direct link see comment below - thanks SPINBOT
No idea of what the allocation amount is
If I find out anything else I'll update this.
Please note that i think that this is probably just a marketing ploy but I don't mind

    Add $7.95 for delivery.
    Still very cheap.
    Waiting till January 2011 is the only problem.

    • jug_head on 10/12/2010 - 12:02

      good point, will update the posting. I forgot to look for that

      • impoze on 10/12/2010 - 12:10

        why jan 2011? cos the 2 weeks delivery?

        I just bought a few books, and split shippping with others makes it ok

    just used my last movie voucher

    • jug_head on 10/12/2010 - 12:16

      I know, me too!

  • POWERevolution on 10/12/2010 - 12:02

    Are there any T&C excluded these tickets on new movies?

    • jug_head on 10/12/2010 - 12:04

      None that I can see yet. Will look some more

      • impoze on 10/12/2010 - 12:09

        cant use on saturdays after 5pm as well

      • jug_head on 10/12/2010 - 12:12

        I went through the entire transaction process and can't find any extra info. Just says all sessions except after 5pm saturdays. I've used this type of deal for event cinemas and Hoyts before and have never had any exclusions.

      Try the direct Village link that spinbot posted above. I can get that page but not the home page, but that's all that matters really isn't it? :-)

  • SkyFireVII on 10/12/2010 - 12:48

    quick warning…it says enter name of patron that uses it so technically they might print your name on the ticket and then ONLY you can use it…i.e. with identification

    i was going to buy 4, but 40 tickets in 6months is insane…and the risk of not being able to share with mates is a risk i won't be taking

    10 tickets is enoughh for me

    just a warning that you may not be able to share these (i myself am unsure)

    • jug_head on 10/12/2010 - 12:51

      Good point, however, in the past this has never been the case ie your name is not on each voucher and no ID has been required.

      I'll see if I can get a proper confirmation but it would be inconsistent with the way they do business if you are right

      • adriancfc on 10/12/2010 - 13:03

        Yep, will be unlikely to get name printed on these tix … I have been buying these for the last 4 years and no tix has got my name on it :)

    • zzyss on 10/12/2010 - 13:07

      It does? I didn't see that field…

      I think it's because the system is designed for selling ordinary concert tickets. What you'll be getting is simply ordinary Movie vouchers. No problems with ID and being linked to your name only, etc.

    • retiredfeline on 10/12/2010 - 13:16

      I doubt if it will be a problem even if it has your name printed on it. People go to the movies together so you wouldn't expect your wife's and kids' names printed on the voucher. And I doubt if they will ask if one the people in the group has the name and photo ID, imagine the holdups it will cause. And there is nothing in the T&C saying you can't give away vouchers.

  • uraha on 10/12/2010 - 12:49

    When does it expire?

    • jug_head on 10/12/2010 - 12:51

      6 months from when its issued to you

  • cj88 on 10/12/2010 - 13:07

    Uh-oh. I went through it once and got a "transaction failed" error. Went through it again and was successful. Check my account and it's been debited twice. :/

  • sabby on 10/12/2010 - 13:07

    Anyone who is seeing the "website is down" splash page. Try http://mcapplause.com.au then click on Movie vouchers and choose "Village Movie Vouchers - MasterCard special offer - All States"

    Hope it helps

  • zzyss on 10/12/2010 - 13:10

    I wonder if they're going to cancel any orders, 'coz it says "until allocation is sold out" - and I wonder if their site tracks inventory, or keeps taking orders well after they've run out of tickets.

    Note: these AREN'T the offpeak vouchers and can be used on Fridays, Saturdays (but not after 5pm) and Sunday, so the price is incredible.

    Another note: you'll still have to pay the "3D tax" if you use these to see 3D movies.

    • retiredfeline on 10/12/2010 - 13:17

      It's easy to track inventory, just a counter of the number of books sold so far.

      • zzyss on 10/12/2010 - 13:29

        You'd think so, but so many sites don't. Heck, even with the ones that DO have inventory tracking such as CotD, there are still problems.

        • retiredfeline on 10/12/2010 - 13:49

          Well it's not as if they have to go count widgets remaining in a stock room. And if they have been selling tickets to events, they ought to have a clue. (I hope.)

  • emeraldone on 10/12/2010 - 13:28

    I'm still waiting for the tickets. Don't think Australia Post can take over 3 weeks to deliver a tiny postage - even during Xmas/NY period. I received all my other stuff bought during this period.

    • timhn on 03/01/2011 - 20:02

      My bad, just found out I already received it. The envelop got lost in all of the mails i received during Xmas - probably got it around 23Dec.

    All you guys who haven't received it yet, was your credit card charged?
