Cinema fans are having to pay significantly more to watch the same film at Odeon in Llanelli than they would at its theatre just 12 miles away. People who visit the cinema's East Gate have spoken of their "disgust" at the prices being charged compared to Swansea in Parc Tawe.
A quick comparison of prices reveals how a showing of one of the latest blockbuster films, The Super Mario Bros. Movie compares. The film costs £12.50 for adults and £9 for children in Llanelli, compared to Swansea where it costs £8.45 for adults and £6 for children, with only a half-hour drive separating the two cinemas.
