We'd always been rather doubtful about this, and quite convinced there had to be a catch. When the local cinema put its ticket costs up again, and Avengers Assemble came out, we decided to give it a try. We were surprised, and delighted, to find out it really is as simple as they say: Text the details to Orange, get the code back by text, and use it at the ticket office when you buy your tickets. It is a very good way to cut the cost of your cinema trip, especially if you are going with a large group and have more than one Orange user attending. The only downside is that you can't use the codes with the automated dispensers, so if you are going to a popular ...  Read the complete review

Both myself and my partner really enjoy going to the cinema but do find the prices now to be rather high so the introduction of Orange Wednesdays for Orange mobile phone customers a few years ago was a great bonus. Since its introduction we have used the offer quite a lot taking advantage of the buy one get one free discount to see a film on a Wednesday at our local cinema. To take advantage of the Orange Wednesday offer you just need to send a text message stating 'FILM' to the number 241. Then usually after only a minute or two you will receive a text with a code on that you need to show at the cinema when buying your ticket to activate the buy one get one ...  Read the complete review

Nowadays, it may be just me, but I find the cinema to be a bit on the expensive side. Every so often is ok, but if a large group wants to go together, or even it you want to go regularly, it can end up costing more than you originally were willing to pay. Particularly recently with prices rising in every aspect, teamed with the recession, it is a time when most people could do without paying an arm and a leg to take their family to the cinema. Orange Wednesdays is a unique concept that allows Orange customers (obviously) to get two cinema tickets for the price of one. The process is pretty simple as the Orange customer will have to text "FILM" to ...  Read the complete review

Living in such a boring, quiet place doesn't really have that many advantages. The only thing that I can really be excited about where I live is going to the cinema but, lets face it, going to see a 2 hour long movie for £6 is stupidly over priced and not really worth it. So hearing about orange Wednesday was my new silver lining in this dull, cloudy place that I call home. ***What exactly is orange Wednesdays? *** Orange Wednesdays is a fantastic deal for those orange mobile network users whose wallets are as empty as mine. As long as you have your cinema buddy with you then you have the chance to get 2 tickets for the price of 1. Its so simple to ...  Read the complete review

So the major drawback, and probably the only drawback, here is that you need to be on Orange to get the benefits but it doesn't always work like that. 2-4-1 is an easy offer where, if we take the cinema tickets as an example, you text the word "film" to 241 and you get a code, you show the code to the cashier when you buy your tickets and you have just got a friend in for free (note friend should be present at this point!) so if you share the price between you it makes a cheap night out with some friends for you both. There are more offers out there than just the cinema tickets being on 2-4-1 so you should check out the Orange website ...  Read the complete review
