tixeachitempromo650
Update
I think the code has been fixed now
Also promo650 has been removed from the codebase for alot places
However this deal is still valid as you can still view the list of available codes in the source code. The "tixeachitem" code was simply an easy way to display them
An alternate way would be:
Open a javascript console in ur browser(f12 in Chrome/IE, ctrl+shift+K in firefox, then click on 'console') and type:
$('.tixeachitem').show()
and hit enter, all of the promo's will be shown just as if you entered tixeachitem

i think event just removed the codes temporarily while they apply some sort of fix. i highly doubt theyd stop offering promo codes permanently
Edited to be less confusing:
At the screen where you select the number of tickets,
on the right hand side is an option to enter a promo code
enter PROMO650 and a new option will appear for $6.50 movie tickets
Select the number of tickets you want and continue
This price is for standard sessions only, you have to pay extra for vmax, HFR and 3D, but as someone else pointed out, its cheaper than buying regular 3d VMAX, example below:
THIS CODE WORKS FOR 3D HFR of the Hobbit (4k ultra high definition, 3D, 48 frames per second session) - $13.50 (regular price $25.50)
YOU MUST BOOK 4K Movies using this link

For all other sessions:
Enter tixeachitem in the promo code section to unlock ALL the codes in available

Enter the above code to unlock all available ticket prices for each session type you choose (i.e. gold class, standard, vmax etc) just search through the newly unlocked lists to find the cheapest tickets
voila!
example if you wanted to watch Skyfall in 4k ultra HD, the normal price of gold class is $28, the code unlocks gold class for $25
for a regular session of skyfall in 4k ultra the price is $22.50, the code unlocks the $6.50 ticket (but it adds $4 premium for being a 4K session for a total of $10.50), but you will notice i also unlocks Rydges loyalty web, which is $10 (50cents cheaper)
here are some noteworthy codes:
enter "herald" or "goldclass25" for $25 gold class tickets
beforedark - no idea what this is for but it says: "GC Gift Pack Before 5pm - $96.75"
rydges - some standard sessions and possibly vmax sessions work with this code for $10 tickets
Credit goes to user Forgot69 for the following code:
rydges1 - Unlocks $13 Moonlight Cinema in the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne

Enjoy!
giggidy
edit you need to pay the usual $1.1 online booking fee as well
Here is how i got the code:
removed how i got the codes so Event cinemas will find it harder to close the hole
TL:DR version:
enter the code tixeachitem at the page where it asks you for a code
select the cheapest ticket types

Profit (or in the case of ozbargain, impulse purchase)
The precise figures are beside the point. They were an illustrative device (an unsuccessful one, I'll grant) to try and make the point that the loss of all the codes due to the exploit is a mere fart in a thunderstorm. The residual bitterness felt is simply moralising over something that is inherently immoral - i.e. exploiting a loophole.
Where does one draw the line to say how many OzBargainers would have been able to take advantage of the codes before Event Cinemas noticed an unusual number of claims against them? Will that be the same, more or less than the people who used them as a result of this post?
The countdown started the minute the codes were first posted. The exploit just brought about the end in a spectacular way.
