What makes TGV increase their movie ticket up to rm13 per show?

Their cinema ain't premium, no DTS, no THX, the seating is like shit compare to GSC. Why do we need to pay premium price to TGV.

Why no one complain about TGV charging high ticket price compare to GSC.

haha..I dont know at all..coz I always go to GSC..

prolly only during CNY? check properly cuz their price usually is normal like other cinemas. lotz of shops outside esp food resto increase the prices during this time.

I don't go to TGV anymore..

MBO desa petaling charging rm10 per show. cinema quality same as TGV

I like the new TGV at 1st Avenue.
Really nice. I dont mind paying a little extra actually.
And their popcorn is really HUGE.

lol
i only go for GSC/Cathay

if both full/no more tics, then i go home

never go TGV b4

only cny. gsc prices r up to 13/14 n more too. crazy robbers everywhr in town during cny. thanks to no regulations

in terms of pricing, i find that GSC has more "no standard"

2-3 years back i used to purchase their tickets at rm5 each (student price) in summit USJ. but if go MV, each ticket will cost at least rm7

not sure bout TGV though

TGV is not bad seriously.
I face problems with GSC ticketing.
I bought RM12 ticket for the movie Paranormal Activity 2 at Tropicana
and it was MOVIE DAY!! I wasn't sure if MOVIE DAY still exist ==
However, the next day I was forced by my brother to watch with him at Summit USJ. It was only RM10.

Why is there a difference of price?? Besides that GSC at Tropicana Mall has no sound-proof wall. I can hear the next hall's movie sound.
Terrible...

My own opinion =)

tgv way too expensive, in klang b.tinggi, at first tgv only rm11 per tix, now rm14 / rm19(3D) per tix, mbo only rm10 / rm16(3D) per tix, better seat and big screen for 3D

I oredi boycott TGV. Paid RM14 at Sunway Pyramid when I can watch for RM9 at GSC Summit.

i dont like watching at tgv..so few times going there.esp when i saw their 3D price is higher than Gsc

and to those who complain about GSC price. check la their web. u'll know that they charge the price according to the location. for bigger location like BTS,MV the price is higher.

even in IOI, got 2 different price according to the cinema hall. better cinema hall,the tix will be higher. the small cinema, price lower.

Yes TGV tickets is more expensive, weekends/blockbusters is RM13, you can get RM10 for weekdays i think.

I have no choice because that's the nearest to my place haha, TGV Sunway. The seat is unacceptable if compared to GSC and Cathay, worse still if you get the Studio 11 and 12 hahaha.

Few months back, I was surprise it only cost me RM7 to watch in Cathay Damansara. I was like wow that was like when I was back in the school day with student price of RM5 haha

got couple a seat at tgv mines for rm18 2 days back...seems fine.. right?

yeah tgv is so expensive 5 time i watch all pay 14 only once pay 9 (wednesday special).once i go gsc 1u to watch 11 bcoz its weekend. regarding TGV expensive during CNY I dont think its true coz their website didnt say anything about CNY blockbuster extra charge, however for GSC its true extra $5!

pls be specific which TGV, some old some new . . . but they really upgrade damn slow...

i didn't expect GSC PAV to be increase their movie price from RM12 - RM14..

& much more not expected that TGV took out their online reservation function

yea im sicked of it evytime paying rm14 for a movie at sunway pyramid tgv, seats r small n uncomfortable, but wat to do, tats the nearest to my university

& i think gsc is going to abolish reservation also... wan to do reservation, it said fully booked.. but when i go in to epayment, tons of places... occupied seat only around 10, & its a big cinema

Even TGV in Klang all price increased long long time ago

dot dot dot. do you even know how the reservation system works? GSC only reserves two rows of seats for phone reservation and e-reservation. But for e-payment, you can pick any seat you want. so please do some research before criticizing.

You guys should try the new TGV at 1st avenue. Worth paying extra for the comfort and bigger seat space, bigger leg room. RM12 for normal seat or RM14 for couple seat. And they got the first bean bag seat hall at just RM14.
Heard that other old cinema will undergo renovation.


Edited to update the pricing.

i'd say ditch both of tgv and gsc. cathay e-curve ftw!

TGV dont giv student price...
oso seat not so comfortable...
GSC Garden/MID (malay mvie)...
fast ticketing lane n comfortable.

But that's not even enough 2 row of seat had been reserved/occupied & it already fully booked.

boycott TGV Bkt Tinggi for months now~
the price of the ticket is bloody expensive~
my dad when purchase the ticket get shocked when he heard the price, then he call the manager~
in the ended didnt bought the ticket coz increase without informing~
i'll only go there if i got free ticket or voucher lol~

haha gsc fan here bcoz melaka only got gsc in the entire state only go on wednesday bcoz of the rm5 tix special now that i know tgv cut throat,,,i also will boycott tgv now haha

Never happened to me before. I always make sure there are seats available for reservation before making one. You can do that by checking their e-payment. The purple-ish seats are those up for reservation

TGV Wangsa Walk, TGV 1st Avenue seats is better, and I can say, better than Pavilion for me...
The seat for old TGV is really sucks, but the new one is really awesome...

mana 1st avenue?

hmm....i notice the price went higher during CNY too....normally,it would be rm9-10,but during CNY,the price went up to rm12...and usually when the show is on-screen for one week already,the price should be rm9/10,but it's rm12 too during CNY.... well,i can't complain,as the only cinema in my place is TGV

Newy open shopping complex at Penang. Near Prangin Mall.
Very stylish design but kinda for the upper class with expensive stuff.

Just wait till Wednesday,rm6 only if i'm not mistaken

Few years back, went to TGV pyramid. I use student card to buy, when paying that time, its RM8!!!

Then i ask, why RM8?, they say its 8, coz normal is 11. I was like WTF, student also 8. I can easily get 5 in summit GSC, its morning weekday... From that time onwards, NO TGV for me, even if i have to watch it another time. The seating also sux to the max, the lower seat backrest very low, didnt even reach my shoulder, while the back seat its so high that it'll bend my neck. Their sound system also very tame. I prefer THX theater.

im gonna boycott tgv now except the one at wangsa walk.yesterday i went to tgv mines.i've tried to do reservation first before i went there but end up they didn't allow any reservation anymore.i was very disappointed bout it and i had to go there early to make it easy to buy ticket.lucky me,when i arrived there the counter got no customers at that time so i just buy my ticket.fyi,tgv the mines had some upgrade so i can notice the fresh new look of it.i expect they upgrade the seats as well and it turns out that the seats were still the same old low backseat and not enough space.what a disappointment.if wanna upgrade your cinema upgrade the whole thing la!why leave out the seats.

thank god the movie is worth watching.watched sini ada hantu fyi.but after this i will never go to tgv again.

TGV klang bukit raja ticket price hv increase to RM14.00 for weekend & weekday is RM11.00
after renovation. now the new sit very good.
they hv promotion for citibank card member. but 1 free 1.
and also ticket price RM10 only for weekend.

watch GH morning show only RM9.00 for 2 person

always watch morning show b4 12pm save alot...

Yeah somehow recently the movies i went to TGV are expensive RM14...

They list the movies as BLOCKBUSTER but how come GSC doesnt list as blockbuster?

anyone try before TGV online payment?? did they charge more??

Service fee RM1

GSC charge RM0.50/ticket

GSC is so much more better !!

lol, I don't even care about the price. Just RM3-5 difference between other cinemas. It's just too much hassle for me to just think so much for that petty amount of money. No offence.

Paid RM14 at Pyramid last November on a working weekday night, never going back again. Evidently, they were trying to make cash cows of their patrons... I guess for shows you need to go to another cinema chain that isn't TGV instead.

TGV cinema is overcharging compare to GSC, MBO or Cathay. There is no THX surround in TGV cinema, but TGV is charging a premium price.

This post has been edited by vexus: Feb 19 2011, 07:06 PM

Tgv is a rubbish cinema nowadays. They are not doin well thts why they hv to increase price. Its ridicolous for them to charge rm14 in pyramid with such a lousy cinema . Small seats , lousy screen etc etc

I've been to TGV Kepong to watch a 3D movie, and there was no previews at all. As in, just go in, movie starts. Is it the same for other TGV cinemas for 3D? The price is also more expensive than GSC.

It has always been GSC > TGV

Didn't notice that until last night when I try to book at ticket at TGV sunway. Blardy hell its RM14 means its 29 for a pair if booking via internet.

Its been a while since I last go to TGV and I guess this will continue for a longer while.

complain it over here.

http://www.facebook.com/TGVCinemas?sk=wall

tgv in pyramid always have problem. half way in the middle of the show,blackout. but tgv's popcorn is much nicer than gsc. and tgv is charging rm14 for new shows. i think i rather buy a blue ray(pirated) which is about that price too, and watch at home with loud surround sound, and a comfy couch. tgv seating is bad.

and to share this with u guys, last time my sister and i visited one of the tgv cinemas(forgot which one), the seats infront were pretty close to the ones behind, so this weird dude starting to stretch his hand so wide, and was slowly approaching to touch my sister's leg(with the lights off,but i so happened to witness it). i told my sister then, that some freako's hand was about to touch her leg, and the guy immediately placed him hands back where it belongs. i should have asked her to step over his hands with her heels.

TGV especially in Pyramid is overpriced.
If not for the convenience sake, I would not have gone there for movies.
But hell, the other nearest cinema in Subang is GSC Summit which their condition is comparable to a haunted house.
Sigh, so I got no choice.

I found this site online selling TGV ticket vouchers for RM7 for a ticket, valid till March 31st, for any movie any time any TGV cinema.
Might help with the expensive overpriced TGV tickets for those who are forced through it since there are no better choices nearby...

Personally I just avoid TGV now and go for GSC... except when I'm in Ipoh, and TGV's the only decent cinema there =(

tried to watch King's speech @ TGV Sunway pyramid @ RM 14 (summit USJ dont hav.....bought ticket 1 day earlier to get good seats. Then when i went to see the movie, cancelled (got refund) but waste my time plan, could have gone to another cinema. Sigh....Literally found out 5 minutes b4 movie start.

I had my terrible experience with TGV where there's one cinema (forgot the cinema room number), the seats really "condong" one. I'm like "is this a stadium"? lol

by the way; can I use my Maybank Debit Card to buy tickets from TGV website?

I saw there's option for Credit Card (got CVC, blabla). Because I seldom buy tickets from TGV via online. I preferred GSC but shit happens. I need to go Aeon Bukit Tinggi tomorrow. Haha

That is hall 11 and 12 of tgv sunway pyramid. I wasted rm28 on couple seat.
And yes u can use that card.

I noticed you can now buy tickets using paypal. Anyone tried it out? If you use credit card you need to bring your card for verification. What about paypal then?

Just tried the beanieplex at tgv 1st avenue. So comfy. You can seriouly fall asleep while watching the movie. It's a nice concept and experience. Everyone should give it a try.

so i guess only new TGV better but old TGV sucks eh

GSC Signature The Garden the best 4me..hahaha

Yes, can use any debit card, same manner like credit card (for maybank debit card make sure you have activated the online secure shopping thingy at m2u, otherwise it can't be used online at all).

I am still phobia (lol!) about buying tickets from TGV, last time d transaction was marked 'unsuccessful' and yet they still charged my card TWICE!. Their online system is really lousy .

Discussion heating at TGV's facebook regarding their unjustifiable expensive price.

Source

Hello guys sry to go off topic but WTA which is the best cinema in the Petaling Jaya area??

let me join the heat

TGV so expnsve.

cnnot watch 2 muvee everyweek.

can bankrup.

Totally agree with this. Finally someone speak up. TGV cinemas charge till up to RM14 for the latest movie. I watched the Big Mama movie and it cost me RM14 cause they said that it's a new movie. And I watched Black Swan few days back. It costs me frigging RM13 though the movie has been released for almost a month.

Besides, TGV cinemas in KL sucks till the max. Charge us expensive tickets but the things provided is nowhere near GSC. The sound system, the seating, and the cinema room. For example, Sunway Pyramid TGV. The cinema room is so small and the stairs is so steep that you can die falling from the top. Besides, at night, in a few of their cinema rooms, you can hear clubs' music basses blasting. Probably it's because of the clubs located below the cinema rooms. But this also explains their poor sound cancelling system. And the seats sucks to the max. Small and uncomfortable. I'm sure someone would have the same experience as mine.

But on the other hand, TGV cinema in Ipoh is the best. I don't mind being charged up to RM14 or more expensive than GSC. Come to TGV Ipoh, it's on par with any great cinemas in KL especially after their renovations lately.

Everyone please comment on the FB page, those people supporting TGV are outrageous.

haha seems like there is actually big base of fanboy n fangirls of TGV eh

the only tgv cinema that is worth to go for me is wangsa walk.others can go serve those kids who don't mind poor seating.

Yes i agree too, TGV is kinda expensive. Premium price but lower class service and environment.

citibank cc has RM10 for weekdays n buy 1 free 1 during weekends. only applicable at the ticket counter and there's a special counter so can get tix within 5 mins even during peak hrs.

i have citibank clear card. buy 1 free 1. also applicable for early bird promo (rm9). so after buy 1 free 1, become rm4.50 for 1 ticket, hehee. now i feel pay rm10 oso too expensive oredi, watsmore rm14!!!

Sunway TGV student price ticket is RM10, so expensive!

Agree that TGV movie ticket include student ticket is VERY expensive compare to GSC.
Last time ( Forgot when), when i went movie with my friend, they charge RM10++ per show, I was shock..
And it just a normal day but not celebrating any festival on that day.
The seating is very very poor...space between the chair is too narrow..
Conclusion, all cinema better than TGV...

TGV price ticket is at freaking RM14 now

Go to Wangsa Walk or 1st Avenue and then come back here comment again. I bet your experience difference over there.

I go wangsa walk before..but not try 1st Avenue..
Ya, wangsa walk is better compare to KLCC..
However, i mean the better is everything ya..
Which include the price..

in ipoh they just renovate the cinema and all the sudden begin to charge 13 bucks per movie.

i usually go wangsa walk oso.since college nearby there

but wangsa walk movie choice like lesser compare to others like klcc.paul released edi but wangsa walk dunhav

in a year i might walk into TGV maybe once or two....

TGV is old and the location is suck such as klcc (car park too exp) , 1U (totally lose to GSC , now renovating) Sunway (ppl might fall down n die )

TGV cant compare to GSC (located in many major complex)

price for a movie ticket really increased , rm13 for a movie ( dont compare to HK or SG )

its seem movie ticket increased year by year

yup, overpriced. Sometime i prefer Lotus 5 Star in Sri Kinta instead

Tried 1st Avenue Penang last saturday. The difference between them and GSC are seats are slightly bigger and spacious for people to move along the row. But then i think thats not so significant as i paid RM12 for 1 movie compared to GSC RM10. =\

Paying extra for space and comfy. So the price is justify. Cant complain on that.

How much the TGV normal price for kid 7 year old and 4 year old?

TGV charging Rm19 for a low grade 3D movie is not worth compare to GSC 3d maxxx which is only rm20. GSC low grade 3D rm17 only.

What is so good about Wangsa Walk's cineplex?

Also, if you think TGV is bad, wait till you try the MBO halls.

I have no choice Ipoh only have decent TGV and s*** GSC.

The staffs are also horsesh*t.

tgv website damn slow

dude, ipoh parade punya memang shiat..i believe now the lotus 5 is much better than GSC..hehe some more weekends parking are free and available outside

Next Tuesday c TF3 3D in TGV 1st Avenue Penang.

yup agree! mbo kepong cinema halls and screen are small. no student price also. i rather travel 1-2 km further to tgv kepong. tgv kepong cheaper and better than tgv sunway. never been to tgv klcc though.

tgv kepong is RM12..mana cheap? Try Big C at brem Mall..Cheaper..

mbo kepong sucks. Queue for half hour and when my turn says no more tickets when screen on top show still available. Then they said the system is faulty. Waste my time.

Hmm... i think the best cinema now in Ipoh is Lotus at Sri Kinta... seems that they have make a big renovation a while back... its like a brand new cinema

I never liked TGV.

Their seat sucks. Their aircond too cold. Their staffs are quite rude sometimes. And their movie snacks are not that great. Tasteless popcorns anyone? Pft!

yeah movie tix across the board are generally expensive nowadays... we support the movie by going to cinema and buying original blulays, and then they take advantage by raising prices gradually.
what i dont know is, who decides ticket prices in Msia?? is it the cinema operators themselves that want to rake in higher profit, or studios and distributors setting minimum price they want to take per person thus setting a high or low price?

Added on August 5, 2011, 4:08 pmmiss the old days when movie tix are around rm6-7 per person... and that was what, less than 8 years ago?

This post has been edited by sshahar9: Aug 5 2011, 04:08 PM

tgv tebrau,johor is rm14..which is the most expensive tickets for normal movie..but yeah best halls available here i can say ..

KLCC RM 9 before 12 pm. That's awesome to me

If want cheap, you guys should buy tgv movieholic card..

rm50 for 6 ticket, valid for 3 month.. So around Rm 8.33/ticket
or buy the rm100 one.. get 12 ticket with 2 coupon for regular softdrink & popcorn

hmm... i think they hv the location whr ppl hv no choice to pay more?

eg: Sunway Pyramid... and the nearest gsc cinema -> summit~ and most of the students around especially international students doesnt hv cars and took a taxi to else whr is far more expensive!

KLCC whr some ppl just lazy to go else where?

just my 2 cents~

agreed... mbo very terrible. But then i'd still prefer tgv as a matter of fact - convenience. btw, heard of their movieholics card? 6 movies for RM50, 12 movies + 2 popcorn set for RM100, beat that gsc...

how does the moviehorlic card work?

wtf is that tgv movieholic card?

Never heard of the movieholic card before. Cant find much info in google as well.

any expiry or validity date for the card?

Hello all,

I got this from the website. It is very fine print.

TGV Movieholics Card

Added on August 25, 2011, 2:02 pmand i just got reply from TGV admin re the T&C.

This post has been edited by lilylim80: Aug 25 2011, 02:02 PM

It is written in the Term&Conditions:
Valid for 3 months from date of issue.


Anyway the good thing abt movieholic is that u can use it to watch those New Movie (Non-3D) which normally cost like RM14 or even more for only RM8.33. ; )

vexus,

I am very dissapointed with TGV cinema. During weekdays they don't have senior citizen ticket like GSC cinema. I am very sad to look at my mom's face when the counter girl told her there is no senior citizen ticket. My mom don't want to watch movie at TGV cinema again. She told me to buy DVD & watch at home to safe some money. Lets boycott TGV cinema.

aww man this sucks balls i wish i can avoid TGV but the problem is all major spots in my hometown is full of TGV only got one GSC larh but location bad in the slump building WTF

yes.

TGV is seriously damn expensive.
even student's rate is not cheap. Only rm9.
When I was in Summit, I bought a ticket + showing my student card,
I only had to pay rm6. It was very cheap.

I don't understand TGV service as well.

if you guys are somehow in Penang, drop by the TGV @ First Avenue. They have bean bags cinema! pretty cool experience.

well the bean bags hall is the only thing worth paying for at tgv. Normal seat normal movie will cost you RM14. What a rip off.

guys, go get movieholic cards (available at their counter) if u want cheaper price ticket. rm50 for 6 tickets. (or rm100 for 12 + 2x popcorn sets)

This movie card only allow you to buy your ticket over the counter.
Can't do online purchase. So actually defeat the purpose.

Need to check t&c, i freally can be use for all the new/blockbuster release on weekdays or weekend, its totally worth it. Pay around Rm 8 for a ticket better than RM14. Duh how i miss the daily sugar deal, rm 8 ticket for any show any time.

I agree, Its definitely worth it. But i figured i could makes use of it fully mainly because my house is very near Sunway Pyramid. I could secure seats in matters of minutes.
Come to think of it, Its doesn't really help online purchasers, or those who live quite a distance away frm any TGV Cinemas or seldom go for movies.

Just beware of one condition that sometimes appear in the blockbuster premier movie

"The blockbuster movie for xxxxxxxxxx , all discount card, free ticket voucher, complimentary pass is not allowed"

Woah, So far I've never met any movie like that.
Nevertheless, i'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the info. ; )

i go cineleisure@curve. much better than TGV and GSC. biger seat, wider gap between legs and front. and somehow i like those couple seats. Can cuddle summore.
