Event Cinemas

Very expensive regular tickets when gold class would have only been 50c more as it was during the day but the staff member selling the tickets did not tell us this we discovered a signed as we were going to into the movie showing this. The popcorn was also expensive which is normal for movie theatres but it tasted like it had soap through it, maybe from cleaning the machine but I couldn’t eat any if it and neither could my partner. I’d go again but not buy the popcorn and research ticket options myself cause you won’t be told when there’s a deal on.

What else do you do on a dreary Monday but go to Gold Class to blow over $ 100 on the privilege to see a film in a reclining lounge chair?
Alright, it’s a little more than that. You’ll pay $ 20+ for your tickets to have the pleasure of being able to booze in the cinema, and order real food in the form of a meal to eat while you watch the movie.
The menu is surprisingly large and features some more sophisticated terms, one example being «Wagyu beef». There’s some attractive options to share. Expect to pay between $ 20-​$ 50 for something off the menu.
The wine list isn’t too bad. My friend and I ordered a bottle of champagne for $ 28 (cheapest option– we like it this way). If you’re feeling more expensive or fancy, you’ve got a large list of cocktails to choose from.
To answer the obvious question, yes, you can still get popcorn at Gold Class. The only difference is that it comes in a silver bowl rather than a cardboard box.
Just after the previews had finished, a waitress came to serve us. An ice bucket was put down beside my chair, the champagne was wrapped in a napkin, and our popcorn was placed in front of the two ice cold champagne flutes on the table. It was delightful, and hilarious all at the same time.
This is a great way to approach a favourite domestic past time– with class.

This is one of Event’s flagship affairs, with a giant entry hall and Gold Class, so that when we venture over here it’s usually for a grown up date in Gold Class and we feel quite grand as we sip out drinks, enjoy supper and relax in our recliners, perhaps with a rug on the knee. I don’t like the prices, but it is a little bit fancy for a special night at the movies.

Event Cinemas has to be one of the leading chains in Australia. However, each of their venues has its own unique feel which is why I think it appropriate to review the Garden City Cinemas.
Now I don’t live anywhere near Mt Gravatt but met a friend here the other week to see the Inbetweener’s Movie. Waiting patiently for him to arrive I had little trouble finding this massive cinema. I waiting downstairs near the main box office. This level seemed a bit bare to me compared to your average Event cinema which normally has advertisements overflowing and trailer pumping. Downstairs it looked quite quiet. There was however, one massive and quite impressive staircase leading up which made me think there was definitely more to come. and I was not wrong. The whole upstairs level contained many comfy couches, the Candy Bar, Big Screens screaming trailers, cardboard cutouts of the latest movies and posters by the dozen. The best thing about this cinema is that, even on the busy nights, there is plenty of room to move. You can happily sit and relax before your film and never feel claustrophobic because of a crowd.
Event Garden City has three Gold Class cinemas, two VMax, and eleven traditional cinemas inside, so they are often showing a lot of films at any time (including Bollywood). They still abide by the same standard pricing and everything as all Event cinemas but the service was very good and the cinemas nice and clean. Definitely a good spot to see a film.
