description: Going to the cinema isn’t the cheap date it used to be, so be sure to make the most of these offers to watch a movie for less. Here are the best ways to get cheap cinema tickets this month.
encoded: While going to the cinema used to be a cheap date, the prices nowadays are borderline daylight robbery. However, there’s something about sitting in a theatre and watching the latest film, with the snacks you’ve smuggled in, that we find really enjoyable. Although we love the ease of streaming services, there's nothing quite like heading for a magical night out at the cinema. So, with all of this in mind, we’ve been determined to find ways of making the cinema cheap again. From monthly passes and two-for-one discounts to savings through the likes of Vodafone and Three, these are the best ways to get cheap cinema tickets. Fancy saving on more activities? Here's how to get cheap concert tickets and how to get cheap theatre tickets. Jump to: How to get cheap cinema tickets Best cheap cinema tickets and deals at a glance Best cheap cinema tickets and deals for March 2026 How to get cheap cinema tickets Before booking to go to the cinema, it's important to check if you can get discounted tickets because, more often than not, you'll be able to knock a few quid off your bill. If you have a phone or broadband contract, chances are they will offer a rewards scheme to get discounted tickets for concerts, theme parks, the cinema, and more. Vodafone, Three UK, O2, and Virgin Media are amongst the providers who offer cheap cinema tickets. It's important to shop around; buying from the cinema's website or on the door won't be the best way to bag cheap tickets. Sites like Fever and Tastecard are brilliant for discounted cinema tickets, and if you're looking to turn a cinema trip into something a bit more special, Buyagift, Virgin Experience Days and Red Letter Days have plenty of great experiences. Unfortunately, unlike with things such as train tickets, buying cinema tickets in advance won't lower the price. Plus, most cinemas release tickets only a week in advance anyway. But do not fear our cinema-loving readers, we've got plenty of ways to help you claim cheap cinema tickets. M…

description: American Express pre-sale lets cardholders buy tickets before they go on sale to the general public — and with their points. But how exactly does it work?
encoded: Which artist would you see if you got first dibs on tickets which technically didn’t cost you a penny? Trick question, we know it's Harry Styles. Well, with American Express (or Amex for short), you can essentially do just that. Amex is an American financial company which specialises in credit cards. It offers a number of perks to its customers; one of them is that you can get first access to concert tickets via the Amex pre-sale, and another is that you can redeem or pay with points on any purchase on Ticketmaster. This includes the both pre-sale and reserved tickets. For example, Pitbull had an American Express pre-sale for his upcoming BST Hyde Park show before the tickets were released to the general public days later, as did Lewis Capaldi. You can always count on the RadioTimes.com team to explain how things work in an accessible way, particularly when it comes to ticketing like with our how to beat the Ticketmaster queue and are concert hospitality tickets worth it? guides. So here’s our latest how-to on how the American Express pre-sale works on Ticketmaster.

When using points on the Ticketmaster website, it will first verify your points, then take you through to the payment page, and finally, you’ll get the very exciting "You’re in!" confirmation page.

encoded: If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary to do in London, you’ve come to the right place, and next on the agenda is VR experiences. What is a VR experience? VR stands for ‘virtual reality’, and it’s a simulated experience that can either mimic or be completely different to real-world environments. VR experiences usually use headsets or multi-projected environments to create sensations that a user would experience in the real world. A person taking part in a VR experience is able to look around the pretend world, move around in it, and interact with virtual items — sounds brilliant but kind of freaky, right? You might have seen VR play out in movies like Ready Player One, where ordinary people can escape their decaying world and enter a stable, happier one. Or, you might’ve already tried your hand at VR in gaming. VR headsets, like the Meta Quest 3, get you right in the thick of the action from the comfort of your gaming chair, and there are plenty of the best VR games to immerse yourself in. While we’re not going full Ready Player One (humanity isn’t that bad…), there are a lot of exciting experiences to try in London to submerge yourself in the action. In recent times VR event spaces and activities have been popping up all over the capital, so let’s take a look at the best ones.

encoded: Not quite theatre, not quite art and not quite museums, immersive experiences are a world unto themselves – literally! This multi-sensory phenomenon has taken off massively in the last few years, with dozens of interactive exhibits, games and performances springing up around the UK, especially in London. Nowadays you can visit a warehouse that looks perfectly normal on the outside, but inside has the world of your favourite TV show, game, or period of history. Seriously, everything from Minecraft to Squid Game to the story of the Titanic is now available in immersive fashion. But are these experiences actually worth it? And, more importantly, are they worth the money? According to the 2024 Immersive Audience Report 73% of audiences prioritise value for money when picking an immersive experience, so that's what we're doing. Below, we've put together a list of the best immersive experiences now on in London that we believe are genuinely worth your time and cash. Whether you're going out with friends, children, a date, or by yourself, you can find an experience to suit you. Plus, the best UK concerts and tours to see this year.

description: Is your Sky TV package not working hard enough? It might be time to switch. Here are our favourite, and most affordable, alternatives to Sky.
encoded: Whatever you choose to watch on TV, and however you choose to watch it, it’s important that you have the right TV package for you. It’s worth thinking about what you want to watch on TV and what you can do without. Sky TV is the perfect example. Available in various bundles, such as Sky TV, Sky Stream, and Netflix bundle, there's so much to consider when you assemble your TV package. For one, you can customise it with additional channels. For sports fans, there's the option to add on Sky Sports for just £20 a month; Sky Kids which will set you back £8 a month for those of you with little ones, and Sky Cinema for movie buffs — an additional £10 a month, which will also get you a Paramount Plus subscription and two free Vue cinema tickets a month. All that, plus the original cost of £15 a month, you may notice the price in your basket going up quicker than you might like, so if you’re thinking about going elsewhere or changing providers, here are our best and cheaper alternatives to Sky. For more streaming service information, take a look at the Disney Plus price, as well as the best Sky Sports offers. You should also check out the Samsung S26 Ultra UK release date. Jump to: Best alternatives to Sky for live TV Best alternatives to Sky for entertainment Best alternatives to Sky for sports Best alternatives to Sky for the whole family Best alternatives to Sky for live TV Virgin Media Unlike some of the Sky TV alternatives, we’re about to show you, Virgin Media doesn’t offer a stand-alone TV-only package. The cheapest is the ‘M125 Broadband+ Flex’: M125 Fibre Broadband, Weekend Chatter and 100+ TV channels for £29.99 a month on an 24-month contract. For Wi-Fi, TV, and your home phone, £29.99 quid isn’t a bad deal, especially if you’re looking to move these three things over from Sky. However the price jumps up to £33.99 a month from April 2026. Sign up to Virgin Media from £29.99 a month Tip: Sky has an 18-month contract. If you're planning on switching, make sure you h…

encoded: Ah, Ticketmaster. We haven’t had a love/hate relationship like this since Crocs came back into fashion. It's fair to say the ticketing giant has had its ups and downs in recent years, but that doesn't stop us practically kissing the screen when we get the notification that says we’re next in the queue to see our favourite artist. On the flipside, we all know that gut-punch feeling when we're 28,000th in the queue and can see any chance of affordable tickets slipping through our fingers. Last September, following the heat around Oasis tickets, Ticketmaster changed its systems to move away from so-called 'dynamic pricing'. The retailer is now required to tell fans 24 hours in advance if a tiered pricing system will be used for a sale, and they will also have to display information about ticket prices throughout online queues. Here at RadioTimes.com, we're on hand to help you navigate the trying Ticketmaster world. Read on for top tips and tricks to beat the Ticketmaster queue, including how to sign up to presale release, what devices to queue on, and the crucial refresh rules. Based in the UK?

Presale tickets are available to buy before they’re released to the general public. It’s a way for artists' biggest fans to get early access. There are a few ways you can sign up for presale tickets, for example, by joining an artist's mailing list or purchasing their most recent record. You can also get access through a network provider like O2 and Three UK, through event organisers like Live Nation, and credit card companies like American Express and Mastercard. Some venues, such as OVO Hydro in Glasgow and Co-op Live in Manchester, also hold presales. Event organis…

After all, a device which lets you control the loudness of your surroundings seems too good to be true. However, Loop Earplugs have burst into our world the last couple of years, and we can’t seem to escape them — for good reason, too! Loop Earplugs take the edge off where it matters to you, whether that’s while you’re working in busy offices, studying in noisy cafés, taking care of the kids at home, or enjoying live music. Unlike foam earplugs, Loop Earplugs don’t get rid of noise completely, they simply reduce it. If you’re eager to find out more about these clever mechanisms — which boast over 26,000 five-star reviews, two-year warranty, and 100-day free returns — you’ve come to the right place. We’ve put together a comprehensive guide to answer all of your questions on Loop Earplugs. In our six months of rigorous testing, we wore the Loop Earplugs Experience to concerts, DJ sets, and busy cafés, and we looked out for things such as comfort, security, value for money, and more.

We like to blast house and hip-hop fast beat tracks when we’re working out, listen to jazz and blues on melancholic walks, and enjoy classical, chilled out music when we’re working from home. No matter where you are or what you’re listening to, you want the audio quality to be great, the tracks to transition seamlessly, and your favourite artists readily available to listen to. Other bonuses, which we now don’t think we could live without, include ad-free listening. Imagine being the DJ at a friend's house party and suddenly a voice advertising university clearing positions or cleaning services blares out on the speakers. Mood kill to say the very least.

Plus, Mr Worldwide has also found time to perform at American Express Presents BST Hyde Park in July, too. With tickets on sale now — and with the memories of February's ticket scramble still in our minds — here's how to secure them today. At the start of the year, Pitbull headlined London's O2 Arena, and the day after the concert, search for 'Pitbull tickets' shot up a huge 455% on Google Trends. Due to the phenomenal demand, the Fireball singer added three new UK dates at London's O2 and Manchester's Co-op Live arenas, plus one new Ireland date at Dublin's 3Arena. With a string of Grammy and Billboard awards under his belt, and with achievements such as more than 24 million studio albums and over 100 million singles sold worldwide, we can certainly see why Pitbull tickets were so popular. Now, the Timber singer is back for 2026 with a run of summertime shows and festivals, including BST Hyde Park in London with special guest Kesha.
