Odeon blanchardstown

Just to point out that the Wednesday all day 5euro is in fact 6euro. They have covered it in the small print.Just found out today when I went to Dunkirk. Apart from the admission charge it's not worth going to.

Pretty sure it's been €6 for a while. And personally I thought Dunkirk was great, but I know that opinions are mixed about it.

Also they put an extra E1 on the big or big films, I think fast and furious was one of the latest I can remember

Odeon has gone to ****e here since amc take over.

Thanks for your comments,I haven't been able to get to the movies for a while, but the Wednesday movies are advertised as 5euro in large print,both on line and in house,and as I found out in the microprint that extra euro appears.

No, OP, you're totally wrong here. It's 'Bargain Wednesday', not '5 Euro Wednesday'.

Here's the online ad:
https://www.odeoncinemas.ie/offers-and-promotions/bargain_wednesday/40/
There is no mention of 5 euro anywhere, it clearly says: "For individual prices, please check your cinemas "Tickets prices" tab on your cinema page."

For example, if you want to go see Dunkirk at 8.30pm next Wednesday, that will be 8 euro per ticket. But if you want to go see "Girls Trip", that will indeed be 5 euro.

It mentions on your screenshot that Dunkirk is an extra Euro.

Well spotted,but should be clearer,I don't mind paying but the price shouldn't require trawling through the microprint.

They decided not to put in the more normal floor lighting on their new big cinema - so they have to leave the ceiling lights on as otherwise you cannot see the steps now - doh!

Also - the exit signs on the emergency doors the main screen are way too bright compared to other cinemas.

Went to see Spiderman weeks ago and was told it was 6 euro. I don't mind. It's still cheap.

But the guy working there said they charge the extra euro if you're seeing a new movie. So if you want to see a movie on a Wednesday that came out the previous Friday you will be charged 6.

I know if a movie is out for two weeks it'll be 5 euro. So I'm assuming if a movie is out 12 days it will be 5.

I noticed that too, highly annoying and distracting.

Its the same with their special offers the most recent movies are usually excluded. I've opted out of a lot of the promotions as a result, I can never use them.

judeboy101

I still use them as I get value out of limitless , but have started using charlestown as it is cleaner, newer and quieter

Dr_Colossus

Used to go a bit of a Wed evening as it was good value and convenient location wise. However in general the selection of films on offer is very poor and prices eye gouging of a weekend so now I take the trip into The Lighthouse cinema and it's worth the effort.

Just a reminder for anyone who's on Three, that you can get 2 Odeon tickets for €10 valid Sunday to Thursday through the 3Plus app.

Only kiddies stuff on this Wednesday apart from a poor Dunkirk.

That's hardly Odeon's fault though, it's the summer holidays so the new releases tend to be more family friendly compared to other times of the year.

Could you ask him why the surge pricing was brought in which thoroughly complicates things.

Now that you mention it they were very bright the last time I was there.... whatever that was... damn thatll bug me now, I cant remember!

Kids were off school today so thought I’d take them to the cinema, priced up ODEON for 1 adult and 2 kids at 11am they were looking for €34.50. I thought that sounded a bit steep so priced up Vue in Liffey Valley and it came to €23.87. Needless to say we went to Vue, not only was it cheaper but a much nicer experience altogether. Cleaner and what appeared to be new leather seats which were very comfortable. I also noticed they have an offer for Monday’s any film €3.99

Odeon Charlestown is also less expensive than Odeon Blanch, at least it was last time I compared prices. I haven't been to it yet but am reliably informed that it's nice and rarely too busy.

Charlestown is a beautiful modern building, like a ghost town lots of the time. Had a sneaky peek into screen 9 the other day, looks like they'll be ready another week or so, screen looks massive, recliners look comfortable.

Heard horror stories about clamping when it first opened and google didn't throw up much help

Was free then pay now free again

I always pick charlestown for the cinema even though its slightly further away than blanch. Its nice and clean and never too packed. Three hours free parking in the underground carpark.

Whats with the pricing for star wars in Odeon blanch? :eek:

21.50 euro per person to see it on Thursday. Thats absolutely nuts. I think they've installed new recliner seats but even so.......43 euro for a couple to see a film is absolutely crazy. 3d and 2d seems to be the same price which is odd. Apparently they are charging just for the seats.

If you avoid the fancy seats and just go for 2d in a smaller screen its 14 euro.

Apparently there is a new IMAX screen, but I don't know whether it is true IMAX.

That price applies for the 2D iSense showing as well so not to do with IMAX, highway robbery IMHO.
