Was just e-mailed this promotion to my Maccas inbox, State-wide, thanks Robboisonline.

Simple, buy a lamb burger MEAL, get a promotional card, redeem it online.

I know McDonalds this is going to be massively advertised, just giving you ozbarginars a heads up so you don't kick yourself for missing out by going movies a day early or so.

Wednesday 29th August until the 10th of October.

NSW confirmed only, not sure about other states.

UPDATE: Voucher valid at participating Event Cinemas ( incl. Village, Greater Union, Birch Caroll & Coyle) not valid after 5pm on Saturday

    Lamb burger is gross imo. It's like 90% filler. It makes the patty taste gross. At least with the beef pattys it tastes like actual meat :(
    So sad, a real lamb burger would have been amazing. I guess its just too expensive a meat for mass consumption.

    • dan76n on 28/08/2012 - 06:30
      +5

      Agreed, and their marketing is smart too. They promote the use of 100% Lamb which is true but it's mixed with breadcrumbs as a filler.
      Didn't like this burger at all. In fact I chucked half of it out.

      I actually loved everything BUT the lamb. The filings and the new bun were awesome, if they make a serious angus burger I'd love it.

      • ProspectiveDarkness on 28/08/2012 - 18:50

        You know, I'm fairly sure you could just ask for it without the lamb patty, and add the angus patty. Might be a bit costly, but it'd be worth a try.

        • jug_head on 29/08/2012 - 09:58

          Yeah I reckon it would cost about $2 more but they would allow it for sure. Did you know you can add egg on any burger now? I think its $1

      I think thats the point. I've seen a lot of Ozbargainers complain about $1 burgers etc etc etc but fast food is fast food so you need to expect fast food quality. From that perspective the lamb burger is the best

    • jug_head on 29/08/2012 - 10:04

      Good point.

      I just realised something. When you try the lamb burger ask for it to be really fresh. Also make sure they put plenty of sauce on it. dry meat and scabby saucing will make it taste bland

    For those that don't like the burger, I'm surprised that someone hasn't suggested this protocol:

    1. Purchase meal & obtain promo card.
    2. Take bite from burger, if you don't like it return it for another product or refund.
    3. Keep promo card…profit! :)

          We've got people here calling it gross or disgusting, saying that they spat it out, gave it to the dog, threw it away, etc, etc…but how many have actually been sensible enough to give that feedback to Mickey D's???

          I dunno about you guys, but if I pay good money for tucker & it's shit, I expect to get my money back or a suitable replacement.

          I'm sorry, but this is a little bit ridiculous. This isn't Kmart where they just put back your returned item on the shelf - that food is wasted just because you didn't like it, and you demand money back? If you didn't like the burger, then that's on you. McDonalds shouldn't have to bear the expense of your tastes.

        • StewBalls on 29/08/2012 - 09:06

          I'm sorry, but this is a little bit ridiculous.

          What part, that a consumer has a reasonable right to feel that an advertised product meets their expectations? You might be prepared to bend over & take whatever you're dished out, but I sure as hell won't!

          …that food is wasted just because you didn't like it, and you demand money back?

          Now you're being ridiculous…we're not talking about the precious gruel at a 3rd-world orphanage now; this is first-world fast-food in a developed country from a major retail chain that prides themselves on quality & consistency. They would be the first ones to tell you that if you're not happy, you should return the product.

          McDonalds shouldn't have to bear the expense of your tastes.

          Well, yes they should if they're serving substandard food.

          If you go to a restaurant & the meal does not match the description, or has been poorly cooked/seasoned, do you not complain? I do…I might do it nicely at first, but I still let them know; remember, if you don't tell them something is wrong, how can they improve. (rhetorical Q, BTW)

          Simply leaving quietly & whinging on OzB doesn't make things better guys…

        • jug_head on 29/08/2012 - 10:07
          +1

          Stew I agree with you completely. Always complain. Always. I mean always complain if you didn't like it. Chances are that they'll refund you, give you another burger or make a new one in the hope that you'll like it more the second time around…doesn't matter what burger it is.

          Even if its a $1 whopper, if its not up to standard then let them know

          Now, to clarify a point; I don't like big macs so I don't buy them which means that if I do buy one i shouldn't make a complaint about it. I also don't like HJs ice cream so I don't buy it but i do think its worth suggesting changing the taste of their ice cream IF (and only IF) its really important to you that they do….but I still don't buy it and then complain because there's lots who do like it. BUT if its a new burger or your first time tasting it then tell them

        • StewBalls on 29/08/2012 - 10:34

          Yep, that's the kicker…I agree, if you buy it & like it, that's good & there's no real point complaining. Buying it if you already know you don't like it is also somewhat fruitless!

          That said, if you try it & don't like (as it appears many here have already done) but say nothing other than moaning on OzB…well, I'm having a little difficulty understanding that mentality! I haven't tried one yet, I might do so for lunch today; you never know, I might actually like it…but if I don't it's only a short walk back to the counter for swapsies! ;)

          FWIW, I prefer the taste of HJ's icecream… :)

        • ProspectiveDarkness on 29/08/2012 - 16:32

          What part, that a consumer has a reasonable right to feel that an advertised product meets their expectations? You might be prepared to bend over & take whatever you're dished out, but I sure as hell won't!

          Expectations are entirely subjective - it's not the fault of McDonalds that you were expecting too much from the burger, and therefore the reality didn't meet your pre-conceived notions about it. You get what you pay for - and as you said, this is a fast-food chain. Expectations should be minimal.

          Now you're being ridiculous…we're not talking about the precious gruel at a 3rd-world orphanage now; this is first-world fast-food in a developed country from a major retail chain that prides themselves on quality & consistency. They would be the first ones to tell you that if you're not happy, you should return the product.

          Just because you, and some other vocal members of the OzBargain community, didn't like the burger, suddenly means that it's lacking in quality and consistency? Did you ever think that maybe you just didn't like it? This is like buying a shirt from Target, cutting a sleeve off, deciding that you don't like the colour, and taking it back on the grounds of 'it isn't quality enough for me'.
          You would have the right to complain if your order was screwed up, if your burger was incorrect, if you thought there was a legitimate problem with the quality of the burger (uncooked meat, mouldy bread, etc), but you're just complaining because the burger didn't live up to your expectations, and you, as an entitled customer, deserve your money back.
          IMO, you aren't entitled to anything. You bought the burger of your own volition, you bit into the burger of your own volition, and yet you still blame others if you don't like it.

          Well, yes they should if they're serving substandard food.
          If you go to a restaurant & the meal does not match the description, or has been poorly cooked/seasoned, do you not complain? I do…I might do it nicely at first, but I still let them know; remember, if you don't tell them something is wrong, how can they improve. (rhetorical Q, BTW)

          Your assertion that the lamb burger is 'substandard' is based on your own opinion, because you didn't like it. Again, completely subjective. Which, leading back to my original point, means that McDonalds shouldn't have to bear the expense of your tastes.
          A restaurant is a far cry from a fast food store, and you obviously don't / haven't worked at one. Management doesn't give a toss about improving, they care about doing things easily, and properly. Everything after that is PR damage control, and nothing more.

        • ProspectiveDarkness on 29/08/2012 - 16:35

          Now, to clarify a point; I don't like big macs so I don't buy them which means that if I do buy one i shouldn't make a complaint about it.

BUT if its a new burger or your first time tasting it then tell them

          This is my point, that if a customers doesn't like a burger, sure, they can give feedback. But demanding a refund, merely because it didn't suit said customer's tastes…
          From the way StewBalls is replying, this would seem to be the case, hence my argument.

        • StewBalls on 30/08/2012 - 14:54

          TL;DR

          Like I said, if I purchase ANY PRODUCT that I feel does not meet reasonable quality standards, I inform the retailer & seek redress…that's what grown-ups do. Whether or not you think I'm entitled to a refund/exchange is utterly irrelevant, the simple fact is that I always ask for it and I always get it! Your entire 'argument' is inconceivably naive!

          Pussing out & saying nothing doesn't help the consumer or the retailer…ever heard of QA???

          Feedback is not always about corporate back-slapping, most organisations are happy to take the good with the bad; especially if they have a product/service that is leading to dissatisfied clients; and often they're more than happy to make reparations to retain the customer…this is a fact of life in any business…learn to deal with it! ;)

          That's assuming it's worth the drive back to the store. In my case it wasn't worth it as I wasnt eating in and I'm guessing the person who gave it to their dog wasn't eating in either.

        • StewBalls on 31/08/2012 - 12:07

          You just call the store, express your dissatisfaction & they'll hook you up with a replacement at your convenience…also happens all of the time when people have gotten home from a drive-thru run to find mistakes/omissions in their order! ;)

    Did you know that McDonalds, a renown corporation made a mistake on their advertising of their new Serious Lamb Burger? You may have seen it around here. The slogan goes "Mary had a little lamb fries and a Coke". Lamb fries means lamb testicles without the comma. The manager had to reassure everyone that there is no lamb testicle in the burger but good quality meat. hahahahaha

  • WaywardOne on 28/08/2012 - 21:28

    How much does a Serious Lamb Burger Meal cost?
    The burger by itself is $7.95, so a meal would be ~$10?

    So two budget movie tickets and a burger meal for $17.50 + $10?

    The tickets are worth ~$20 (if you buy them via Optus)…
    Hmmm really that is like saving 25% on a Lamb Burger Meal…

    • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2012 - 22:51

      You don't need to be subscribed to Optus to get their $10 ticket deal either. Awesome sauce…

    • jug_head on 29/08/2012 - 10:22

      Yeah $10 would be the price of a small meal too. Not sure hwo much for a medium or large (is an extra 50c per size upgrade or is that HJs?)

      Really good point. So you mean that this deal will cost you $27.50 for 2 tickets plus a meal but if you buy them through optus then 2 tickets and a meal is $30. Still a saving is a saving
      Can you use optus tickets after 5pm saturday?

    I'm lured to this promotion and expecting I can watch Expandables 2 @ Event Cinemas George St at price buy 1 get 1 free (Tuesday price $15 pp + 1.10 booking fee).

    End up paying $9.95 for the meal and $20.70 ($18.50 tix + $2.20 admin fee) for that voucher.
    Then when I redeem the voucher on Event Cinema website, I need to pay $4 extra per user and $1.10 for booking fee.
    So total of $10.20 just for the extra.

    Meal: $9.95
    2For1 tix: $20.70
    Booking fee + extra : $10.20
    Grand total of: $40.85

    I should have just bought the ticket directly for $15 x 2 = $30 and use the $10 on something else than MC LAMB!

    Complete waste of time and money. Just buy the movie tickets from the cinema, save yourself time, money and angst.

    I just purchased the 2 for 1 movie voucher and my opinion it's just a another scam.
    I paid for the movie online that costed me $20 after which they sent me a couple of vouchers.
    I went to Eventcinemas.com to redeem them and I had to pay $8 additional to redeem the vouchers.
    Bought some popcorn another $12. Grand total $43. WTF ???
    Save yourselves the time guys and book it directly with the cinemas of your choice.
