    Wow, $1.50 booking fee per ticket is a bit rich!! Makes it $10 for standard and $28 for lux ($3 booking fee per ticket!)

        Wanna give me $1.50? It won't make you go broke - so there's no reason not to right? I'll send you my bank details.

      that's why you just turn up at the box office and purchase (redeem your voucher). no booking fee.

        How to get around this?

        $8.50 Standard Movie vouchers are only available for purchase online.

        • billyb67 on 07/02/2018 - 19:36
          +9

          The booking fee is for BOOKING.

          Not purchasing the voucher.

          You purchase the voucher online for $8.50.
          You redeem the voucher in person. Simple?

          If you really want to pay the booking fee you can book your seat online.

          @billyb67: Yeah, I will admit I have paid the booking fee once or twice, to secure a seat. I'd rather pay a dollar or two extra to get the perfect seat, than get a mediocre seat and dwell on it for the entire movie and ruin my whole experience - I'm that type of person unfortunately.

        • UncommonName on 07/02/2018 - 23:58

      god this stuff is atrociously awful, same with ticketek

      Love that charging you a fee, to save them hiring staff, it's gross. Just roll the stupid fee into the price at least and hide it from us. It's false advertising.

    • Momotsuki on 07/02/2018 - 19:33

      Can't find it mentioned anywhere…

      However, they sting you for an extra $4 for after 5pm Friday and Saturday.

    • ozzpete on 10/02/2018 - 11:01

      They renovated my local hoyts with every seat being a recliner, so I'm pretty sure the recliner should have no additional charge.

    • touchmylemon on 07/02/2018 - 19:30

      Agreed, nothing else to really see besides Black Panther. Although I've heard good things about All the Money in the World, that may be worth a watch.

        Not sure if sarcasm, but I think it was genuinely one of the funniest and most heartfelt movies I saw last year. Very very clever.

          uhhhh, I wasn't being sarcastic in the slightest, the trope of fake coughing usually indicates trying to subtly dropping a hint.

      Cinemas do this every year. Whenever there is a lull in major movies coming out for a few months, there's one of these movie voucher deals that seems cheap… until you look at the fine print and find out that most of the movies you want to watch with it won't be out until it expires.

      Good for a few indie films, but yeah, check release dates before you buy (posted below)…

      I don't think so.

      It only gave me an option for a CC card.

    TOMB RAIDER - 15th March
    PACIFIC RIM : UPRISING - 22nd March
    PETER RABBIT - 22nd March

      Also:
      Lady Bird - 15 February
      Stronger - 15 February
      And with awards season upon us, some of the currently screening films might get an extended season.

      There's definitely more movies worth seeing aside from Black Panther. ;)

  • polstralian on 07/02/2018 - 19:55

    I'm done with Hoyts. My partner has been in hospital for the past few months and we were unable to use 2 of the Hoyts gift cards we both had. They expired at the end of December and despite offering the proof of my partner's health issues Hoyts wouldn't honour it. They firmly said NO. 'We don't care about your partner's health. We only care about our business and therefore we won't extend your gift cards validity.' It's sad, it's disappointing, it's disgraceful.

    • Xizor on 07/02/2018 - 20:11
      +2

      Did you try going contacting the head office or via their social media? Maybe Hoyts are that cold but just a thought as i know in some situations with other companies we've had a better experience just going around the careless (or powerless) front line staff.

      • brongz on 08/02/2018 - 08:58

        Why people like to ignore the rules/law/t&c?? It buffles me. Then try to talk to the manager demanding to get around the contract/policy that the company has. Why not tag the CEO to greet you at the door as well.

        • Xizor on 08/02/2018 - 09:42
          +2

          There is ignoring the rules and then there are extenuating circumstances where many companies worth their weight in salt are flexible enough to show some compassion in these situations. Sure, not all, and they are not obligated to, but at the end of the day if your business is in the service and entertainment industry and a gift card is paid for, it is of no real loss to the company that they actually use it a little later than the end date. It's not like they are trying to get out of a phone contract or something more complicated like that.

    • Harold Halfprice on 07/02/2018 - 20:14

      Who did you speak to? Just an employee/supervisor? Manager?

      Cause honestly, that's a pretty rookie move as far as customer service goes.

      • polstralian on 07/02/2018 - 22:02

        I spoke to somebody at their call centre/customer service I also spoke to a particular cinema's manager who despite being sympathetic he said that there is very little he can do…

        Of course they didn't say what I quoted, I was being sarcastic. Whatever I was told though despite different/pre rehearsed form used meant to me (especially in our circumstances) pretty much the same!

    • roughana on 13/02/2018 - 16:57

      Did you try to sell your gift cards in the classifieds before they expired?

  • picklewizard on 07/02/2018 - 20:08

    Some sessions/redemption methods attract additional surcharges. $8.50 vouchers do not incur additional surcharges when redeemed in cinema in person for standard sessions (excluding Friday and Saturday after 5pm).

    What does this even mean? Can I use it after 5PM on Fri/Sat or what?

    • twadds on 07/02/2018 - 20:23

      Additional charges will apply for Xtremescreen ($3.50), 3D ($3.00 plus glasses) and for sessions after 5pm on Friday and Saturday nights ($4.00)

      Yeah, I thought the optus rewards prices would mainly be around a fairly reasonable $11.50 per movie as advertised, but they’re all at least $15. Annoying.

        still a rip off hey. If the cinema industry wants to survive long term, they really need to take a step back and analyse the small things which will make us want to attend. First stop is price.

    Not a bad deal, but pretty useless for me considering I like to go to the movies on Friday and Saturday nights.
    Event cinemas are doing the exact same deal with the exact same T&C's. I have a Hoyts and an Events within 1km of my home, but I still prefer to drive for 20 minutes to go to Cineplex which charge $6 during the day and $8.50 on the weekend nights.

    Yes, I'm cheap.

  • John K on 08/02/2018 - 10:50

    Thanks OP, got few tickets for me and the family. It is cheaper than buying through Optus or RACV

  • Baniya on 08/02/2018 - 14:38

    Great offer. Unfortunately, we prefer Village. We have a family member who needs to use a wheelchair. The layout in Hoyts theatres usually has the wheelchair bays near the bottom. So if we all want to sit together, we are about two rows from the front of the screen. It’s often disconcertingly close! In Village, you tend to enter from the top or the middle of the theatre. So the disability-friendly seats are a few more rows away from the front of the screen and this makes it an enjoyable experience!

    Did anyone manage to see black panther before the 26¿

    I thought it was 26 today, realised while out for lunch and didn't try.
    Does the ticket system Auto notify the sales person, or is it up to them being diligent?
