Watching movies in cinemas is now part of the entertainment that must be done. Good films, both made in the country and foreign production, almost every month enliven the cinema. This makes many movie connoisseurs not want to miss a single one.
However, the more films you want to watch, of course, the more money you have to spend to buy tickets to watch at the cinema. Eits, don't be sad just yet! You can still watch these quality films without fear of breaking your pocket. Want to know how?
1. Watch on Weekdays
For those of you who often watch movies in theaters, you must have understood that tickets to watch on weekends or national holidays are more expensive than on ordinary days. For that, get around this by watching it on weekdays or weekdays. For example, if on weekdays a ticket to watch is only IDR 35,000, on weekends or national holidays it increases to IDR 50,000
If by chance your place of work is close to a cinema, that's certainly more fun. However, if you have to go back to work the next morning, try to watch a movie that isn't too late. Usually, there is a film that starts at 18.00 or 18.30. In order not to run out of seats to watch at that time, you can buy tickets in advance during your break from work. So, when working hours are over, you can go straight to the cinema and wait for the movie to start.

2. Different Cinemas, Different Prices
Those of you who often watch movies in theaters must also know that not all cinemas apply the same ticket prices. For example, Cineplex 21. This cinema network has four types of cinemas, 21, XX1, The Premiere, and IMAX. Of the four types, Cinema 21 is the cheapest. Ticket prices for this type of cinema range from IDR 30,000 to IDR 40,000.
But not infrequently even though the type of cinema is the same, the ticket prices are different. For example, Cinema XX1 in Blok M Plaza is cheaper than Cinema XX1 in Senayan City.
This price difference is of course due to the difference in the facilities provided. The more expensive the ticket price, the more luxurious the facilities provided, starting from the building, bleachers, screens, and so on. In fact, there are cinema chains that use beds as substitutes for viewing seats.
3. Look for Promos or Coupons
There are several websites that specifically provide discounts or promos. Usually, these websites also offer discounts or ticket coupons at a lower price than the original price. Some even offer discounts of up to half the price. Of course, you can't miss this if you want to watch it sparingly.

4. Take the Quiz
As a means of promoting films that will be shown, usually, the film promoter will hold a quiz with prizes of free tickets to watch the film. This was considered effective for the promoter as a means of introducing the film.
So how do you find out about these quizzes? Follow various social media related to the film. For example, if you want to watch the film Pengabdi Setan, you can follow their social media accounts. Or follow the social media account of the film promoter. If it's free, why not?
5. Using a Credit Card
Another economical way to buy cinema tickets is to buy them using a credit card. This could be good luck for those of you who have a credit card. Usually, credit card issuing banks work with cinema chains and offer promos in the form of movie ticket discounts or buy one get one promo (buy one ticket, get one free ticket). This is right, for those of you who want to watch it with your partner.
