Ster-Kinekor has hiked its ticket prices recently, with some theatres charging as much as 20% more than in early 2018, reports MyBroadband.<\/p>\n

Nu Metro, its major competitor, by comparison, has left its prices unchanged, although it previously implemented a lofty hike for its \u201cScene VIP\u201d cinemas as well as cheaper theatres like Mountain Mill in Worcester.<\/p>\n

A 3D movie at one of Ster-Kinekor\u2019s top-tier cinemas went from R98 to R107, and tickets for 2D shows went from R77 to R85, MyBroadband<\/a> noted.<\/p>\n

Ster-Kinekor also brought the disparate pricing of its various cineplexes inline with one another.<\/p>\n

MyBroadband also pointed out that Ster-Kinekor no longer uses \u201cClassic\u201d and \u201cJunction\u201d to differentiate between its cinemas, but they remain useful terms to help group the company\u2019s pricing tiers.<\/p>\n

Signs bearing the terms may also still be seen outside malls around South Africa, it said.<\/p>\n
