*Dune re-run price update TGV got back to me and has changed the price to RM20, curious if they will refund the surcharge to those who already paid RM35 for the tickets prior to the adjustment. Overall, great news and happy TGV did this.

Huh, you're right, and it's not only Sunway Velocity, Central I-City TGV IMAX tickets for Dune's re-run is also RM35. Everywhere else at TGV IMAX is RM20. I've contacted their customer support for details, hopefully I will get a reply soon.
Closing notesI'm quite excited to finally experience a full 12-channel audio IMAX film since that's what TGV has been marketing about with their entry to the IMAX Laser scene. That and my IMAX Dune experience during its original run was bonkers. I do hope the Velocity ticket price gets addressed soon, but otherwise, can't wait for this film and its sequel to come out.

PMed the CS now it’s back to RM20
Oh nice! I knew it had to be a mistake. I also see that they've added a few more timeslots so they probably hadn't finalised everything yet and put up the wrong price.
I still don't understand why GSC IOI City Mall's IMAX has the Dune rerun being priced at RM 33 though, and the "student price" isn't changed as well. It was the first IMAX with laser in Malaysia but it's literally not the best IMAX experience anymore and their direct competitor TGV offers both more value and better IMAX experiences. Even back then, you could still argue that Velocity was a good alternative to IOI City Mall despite it being Xenon due to its bigger screen size, so IOI City Mall wasn't the unopposed "king" for IMAX in Malaysia. The only advantage it has over TGV IMAX is that it caters to customers in Putrajaya where TGV has no cinemas in.
Plus, a rerun shouldn't be priced at close to the normal price.Anyhow, can't wait for both Dune rerun and Dune: Part Two! Really enjoyed the Oppenheimer rerun at Velocity. First watched Dune in IMAX more than two years ago at Velocity and I can't wait for a much better viewing experience at Velocity again with laser (the Velocity IMAX seating arrangement pre-upgrade was cursed, glad they changed that). And 12-channel audio finally for Dune!
