点评:I booked 3 tickets at a cost of £37, for myself and my grown student children to watch Mando. We grabbed a very quick bite to eat before rushing to the cinema, only to sit through 25ish minutes of adverts, trailers and informationals, which seems standard practice now. Had a lovely night and went home happy.
To my astonishment, 2 weeks later I was issued with a fine for £100 for parking for 3hr 11m on that night. Apparently this is beyond the 3 hours limit you are allocated to eat and watch a film!
I have since found that you need to find a rather small and badly placed tablet within the cinema, and enter your car registration in order to be graced with a 5 hour window allowance.
How was I to know this? I saw no signs, or notices within the cinema. Nobody told me this was in practice. I have been going here for years. It never used to be like this.
The whole night has ended up costing me a small unnecessary fortune and it will make me think twice about revisiting in the future.
Beware!
翻译:我花了37英镑订了三张电影票,我和我已成年的孩子们去看《曼达洛人》。我们匆匆吃了点东西就赶到电影院,结果看了大约25分钟的广告、预告片和介绍,现在这似乎成了惯例。那天晚上我们玩得很开心,回家也很愉快。
令我震惊的是,两周后我收到了一张100英镑的罚单,原因是那天晚上停车3小时11分钟。显然,这超过了允许用餐和观影的3小时时限!
后来我发现,你需要在电影院里找到一个很小而且位置不太显眼的平板电脑,输入车牌号才能获得5小时的停车时限。
我怎么会知道呢?我在电影院里没有看到任何标志或通知。没有人告诉我这是现在的规定。我来这家电影院好几年了,以前从来没这样过。
昨晚的一切让我白白损失了一大笔钱,以后我肯定会慎重考虑是否再去。
小心!
