As rising prices make entertainment more expensive, Cineplex is bringing back a deal that could help Canadians save.
On Thursday, Cineplex Canada announced the return of the popular VIP Wednesdays. Forget the mid-week slump — instead, make plans with your nearest and dearest to catch a movie in VIP without having to pay the VIP prices.
Every Wednesday in June, Canadians aged 19+ (or 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec) can upgrade their movie experience with VIP tickets, which they can purchase at regular ticket prices.
“A perfect midweek option for date nights, group outings or a solo escape, VIP Wednesdays invites guests into Cineplex’s exclusive VIP Cinemas — an all-in-one experience combining spacious, comfortable seating, in-seat service, delicious dining, handcrafted drinks, and the latest movies, without having to leave the auditorium,” reads a statement from Cineplex.
The promotion is available at any Cineplex theatre that offers a VIP experience. When you purchase a ticket to a VIP auditorium for a Wednesday screening, the promotional price will be applied automatically at checkout. And when purchasing tickets for the promotion, guests can also earn Scene+ points at the regular earn rate of three points per dollar spent. CineClub members can use their Monthly Member Ticket or Everyday Member-Priced Tickets for the promotion.
Online ticket bookings come with a fee. While the fee is waived for CineClub members, Scene+ members will be charged a booking fee of $1 pls tax, while all other guests will be charged $1.50 plus tax. Admission prices vary by location.
Cineplex has also recently upgraded its VIP menu, which now features items such as the Dubai Chocolate Milkshake, Dirty Soda, Matcha Mojito Mocktail, Butterfly Me to the Moon fishbowl, and Vegetable Samosas served with mango chutney.
“Whether it’s a spontaneous date night, a well-deserved parents’ night out as the school year wraps up, a catch-up with friends over cocktails or a cozy solo escape, VIP transforms ordinary movie nights into unforgettable nights out,” reads the release.
