If you enjoy an outing to the movies but prefer a quieter start to the day, Event Cinemas’ weekday film sessions are worth a look. These screenings are set aside for Cinebuzz members aged 60+, with the first session of the day designed to feel more relaxed and easy-going than the busier evening crowds. It is the sort of cinema visit that suits anyone who likes a comfortable seat, a simple booking process and the chance to settle in for a film without feeling rushed.
One of the biggest drawcards is the value. Eligible Cinebuzz members can access tickets for $13, and there is also a weekday Gold Class option priced at $27.50 from Monday to Friday. Joining Cinebuzz is free, so if you head to the movies a few times a year, it is an easy way to unlock the offer. Just keep in mind that an online booking fee applies, and you will need to be logged into your account online or show your membership card at the cinema to receive the discounted price.
The food-and-drink offer makes the outing even more appealing. Selected favourites including a mini popcorn, mini drink, Mount Franklin still or sparkling water, regular coffee, vanilla choc top and Smiths chips are available for $5 each, which makes it easy to add a treat without turning a morning at the pictures into an expensive day out. For many people, that little extra makes the cinema feel more like a social outing than just a quick trip to watch a film.
Another nice feature is that these sessions run across a wide range of participating Event Cinemas, including WA locations such as Whitford and Innaloo. That gives movie lovers a bit of flexibility, especially if you like to combine a film with lunch, shopping or coffee nearby. Because session dates and titles change, it is best to check the official page for the latest screenings and participating locations before heading out.
For over-60s who enjoy films on the big screen, this is a pleasant option that keeps things simple. The pricing is reasonable, the membership is free, and the first-session timing can be a much more comfortable way to enjoy a new release. If you like the idea of a daytime movie with a few good-value extras on the side, Event Cinemas has put together an offer that is easy to recommend.
