From Friday 17th October, ticket prices at the UPP will change. This is our first increase in over two years and has been a carefully considered decision.
Like many cultural venues, we are facing rising costs across the board – from the energy bills that power our projector to the specialist care needed to maintain our Grade II-listed building. Over the past five years, our overheads have increased by 84%. We are absorbing as much of that rise as possible through fundraising, hires, and other income – but a small increase in ticket prices is now essential to keep Oxford’s only independent and community-owned cinema thriving.
What’s changing
- Adult tickets will rise by between 40p and 90p depending on the ticket type.
- The online booking fee will increase from 75p to £1.20.
What’s staying the same
- Midweek matinees remain our lowest-priced screenings.
- Parent + Baby (£6) and Kids Kino Film Club (£6) tickets are unchanged.
- UPP Annual Members continue to save £2 on every ticket, plus enjoy our popular £6 Tuesdays.
Here’s our new pricing in full:
| Ticket type | Midweek Matinees | Standard | Peak (Friday evenings + weekends) |
| Adult | £9.30 | £10.90 | £11.90 |
| Concessions (Senior / Student / Claimant) | £8.00 | £9.50 | £10.50 |
| UPP Annual Members | £2 off above prices | £2 off above prices | £2 off above prices |
| 15-25 Members | £5.00 | £5.00 | £7.00 |
| Child (under-15s) | £6.00 | £6.00 | £8.00 |
