Major Cinema lines: Broadway, UA, MCL and GH will impose an additional charge of HK$5-10 per ticket from this thursday until new year. Their explanation is "the economy in HK is good so they want to increase the price for this holiday"


since the economy in HK so good, i decided not to go to cinema for this holiday. Dont really like the way they exploit the consumer.......

Dont think this is applicable here.....since they always complain less people are going in the cinema and serious BT problem means the demand is declining, by fixing the price with the competitors, they are trying to exploit the demand further.Lower demand but increase the price??...

me and my friends were planned to have atleast one movie session in cinema during christmas but all of us are pissed of with the cinema and we decided not to go.

Ofcourse, there would be people go and pay for the extra charge.

but what i dont really like is the reason they gave. The PR in the cinema does not perform the job.The 10 bucks is not a big deal, but they spoilt the whole consuming experience.....

if they said they are facing increasing cost or suffer from declining audience so need to increase the price, i think it will be more "friendly" to the consumer....

by saying "because the econ is good, so they want to increase price" is simply a stupid way to deliver the message......it will annoy the consumers in HK who are already fustrated by the high inflation in the past few months......They didnt think of Kanu analysis.....??

It does seem rather exploitative - it's not as if per-patron costs will be higher at this time of year.

Anyway, I'm sure DVD prices won't increase because of the season...

I know someone posted the information on this yesterday, but I could not find the thread.

[PDLM]

So you decided to demonstrate your incompetence to the world (yet again) and post something with no new information anyway?

TW@!

PDLM, you are a real JERK. Give me another red dot for Christmas!

I can't: the system requires me to rate a lot of other people before I can rate you again.

Red dots suit you though. Judging the amount of red dots you attracted over the last 2 days, maybe take onboard what's been expressed.
