I’ve been wondering yet again about the UGC Cinema pass. It’s a 12 month minimum subscription pass that gives apparently unlimited cinema screenings. Pay £10 a month and see every film if you so desire.
I’ve been wondering about this for a while now. As I see it there are advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages
- £10/month is less than twice the evening ticket price
- I would see more films if there is no additional cost per film
- The UGC is a good cinema with nice screens and plenty of showings
- It would be really good if people I know also get one which some already have and several are talking about
Disadvantages
- I would have to see everything at the UGC unless I want to pay again
- UGC showing times can be a bit odd sometimes
- I have to get to the UGC which does cost money and take time. Fountainbridge is some distance from me
- 12 month minimum term direct debit (or presumably £120 payment).
At the moment I’m a bit undecided. I think I’ll probably go for it if enough of my friends also do, because that would make a lot of sense if we all had passes and went to the same cinema. I might also cancel VideoIsland (dvd rentals) because I think I’m not watching enough DVDs (I keep missing the post).
