How to buy £3 tickets on National Cinema Day
Those looking to buy a ticket for Saturday should visit their local cinema’s website and book tickets as you would normally.
When you get to the checkout, the price should show the discounted price.
Alternatively, you can go to the cinema in person and bag a ticket but cinema-goers should be prepared that it may be busier than usual.
